Is accidentally oversleeping not a good excuse?

I recently over slept and missed a class. I told people about it and they looked at me like I was leper.

This isn’t a common thing for me, but it did happen. Why is this different from any other “chit happens” scenario.

I don’t believe I deserved to be skewered for this mistake.

because it as your third time MISSING a class when your syllabus clearly stated you could only miss 2.

Then you wanted to blame your professor and go over his head.

That is why you were being skewered, not because you overslept one day.
You would be surprised just how much time I have to waste.

Not even that bro. On here and IRL people acted like the act of oversleeping itself is unimaginable.

You shouldn't be held accountable for your actions. I mean what were they thinking?

It's not like it's completely your fault or anything.

Oversleeping happens once in a great while but as far as excuses go it's a pretty bad one... it's too easily prevented, usually caused by your own carelessness.

Last time I overslept was because I had a sinus infection which reduced my hearing by like 80%. It was so bad that my alarm clock wasn't loud enough to wake me up despite being right next to me lmao. I still felt like an idiot trying to explain that to people.

Wearing a smart watch that vibrates or putting your phone under your pillow on alarm sound + vibrate would fix that.

It isn't. Unfortunately for you you used your two, free unexcused absences on a scheduled vacation. Did you have a nice trip?
The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.

It is not a good excuse, but it happens. When it does, you need to be a man and take responsibility. You didn't want to take responsibility. You wanted to blame your professor and turn him into the bad guy. He was right that you were acting like a bratty child, not a grown man.

Accidentally oversleeping and apologising for it is beta, deliberately oversleeping because warm bed is better than lecture hall is alpha. Especially if there's a naked sloot oversleeping with you. Just lol @ universities dictating that you must attend class, or are you in high school?

My university only forced class once a week. But if it's a difficult degree, you'll regret not attending the classes.
If you do an easy degree however, then just do the hw at home, get a job and come out debt free.

My alarm clock goes up to 113 dB, but I don't keep it that high. It also vibrates my entire bed so it was impossible to no wake up. Then finally I put it just far enough away from my bed where I can't reach it. I sleep for 6-7 hours each night. Once you get into the rhythm of sleeping for that long, you start to just do it naturally. I could be piss ass drunk on Saturday night, and I will wake up 6 hours later automatically, and I need to force myself back to sleep.

If you did miss 3 classes when you could only miss 2, then that's on you bro. I had classes where if you missed 2 classes it was an automatic failure, no questions asked.

What universities did you guys attend where they took roll-call for lectures? You had to be like "Yes Sir I'm here!" lol?

This.

I use 2 alarms. One of the phillips ones with the simulated sun light and bird noises, which is placed across the room so I have to get out of bed to turn it off and then my phone near the bed which also acts as a battery powered back up incase the power goes out.


Never sleeped in late for work.

This. If your body, left to its own devices, decides to oversleep by a large amount, it implies you either chronically don't get enough sleep (life in disarray, failing at being an adult) or that you were out all night doing things you shouldn't.

MAYBE not the case in your situation, but that's why people don't respect oversleeping as an excuse.
