1.I will not have been sleeping for long when my alarm goes off.
2.I will not be sleeping for long when my alarm goes off.

I know that #1 is correct. By the way, what if I use #2 instead of #1?
#2 is wrong? I wonder. Please teach me.

Thanks.

1. Is Future Perfect and is correct as written. 2. Is future tense, and is incorrect as written. If you change it to: I will not be sleeping for long before my alarm goes off. It will be correct.
