I dunno how I’ve been so lucky in the past. But I got to the gate just as they were doing final boarding twice, TWICE. And I’m usually an hour and a half early type. Fucking smartphones and their malfunctioning alarms!
The first time I was actually at a bar across from the gate and a couple dudes were buying shots for everyone and I just didn’t hear initial boarding and barely heard the last call. It was a pretty comfortable flight though.

I got got by this too many times, so I bought a digital alarm clock at the thrift store, a cheap old thing from the '80s. It reliably blares FM radio at me every morning and I haven’t missed an alarm since.
I have never once missed a flight, or even arrived less than 30 minutes early for one. But I have frequent nightmares where I am in the security line at the airport or in a car driving towards the airport and my plane is departing without me.
Even if you manage to do everything right, your brain will still never let you not be anxious about it I guess.

Sounds like perfect timing to me. Everyone else spent an hour+ sitting in an airport chair and you got extra sleep.
