Bob's been out all night — maybe he's been out partying, has had some sort of adventure, or accidentally got waylaid coming home. Regardless, after spending an entire night awake he goes into his room and falls asleep...only to be woken up instantly by the sound of his alarm clock going off.
A variant of this trope occurs when a character is woken up not by their alarm, but by another character.
This trope tends to be Played for Laughs. See also Sleep Deprivation. Can result in Ring-Ring-CRUNCH!.

Happens in some Classic Disney Short starring Donald Duck:
"Fall Out Fall In": Donald tries to to set up his tent long into the night. He is then keep awake by the snoring of the other soldiers. When he finally falls asleep from exhaustion, the bugler plays reveille, so Donald has to start marching again.
"Wide Open Spaces": After coming across a fully booked motel where there's only an expensive cot at his disposal, Donald spends a nearly sleepless night struggling to sleep in the outdoors, only to end up back at the motel where the vindictive owner assumes that he slept on the cot and asks for the money, which Donald absently hands over before the owner brings a ringing alarm clock to Donald's head, telling him that the time to use the cot is over and dumps him off of it.

Robin: On at least one occasion Tim sneaks in from acting as Robin all night and falls into bed just in time for the housekeeper Mrs. Mac to open the door and order him to get up. On another occasion his father opens the door just as Tim is pulling back the covers to get in bed and says it's good Tim is already up and forces him downstairs while rambling about how lazy it is for teenagers to sleep in on the weekend, even though Jack is about to leave rather than spend time with Tim.

In the Goosebumps book Calling All Creeps!, due to a prank gone wrong, main character Ricky gets calls starting at midnight which he constantly has to hang up on. It doesn't take until two in the morning for him to finally have the sense to unplug the phone. After that, it takes until seven for him to fall back to sleep, which is when his alarm clock rings.

An episode of The Flintstones begins at night, where Fred is snoring so loudly and strongly that the palm trees outside the window are swaying. Wilma tries various means of muffling the snores, since the din is preventing her from getting any sleep; Betty and Barney from next door come over to help, since the noise is keeping them awake too. When they finally manage to silence things, the alarm clock sounds. Of course, Fred wakes up very relaxed.

It is revealed that he spent all of the night before working on a puzzle.

In Star Trek: The Next Generation: Riker complains to Dr. Crusher that he's feeling tired and unrested lately, despite no apparent disruptions to his sleep schedule. After this, he requests a 7am wake-up call from Geordi before going to bed - only for Geordi to immediately arrive and inform him it's 7am. It turned out aliens were kidnapping Riker into a parallel dimension at night, and he had no memory of it the next day.
