Have this ever happened to you?
What's your thoughts?
Thank you very much!
I have not been in this situation where I needed a belt extender - but it seems wise of you to request it so that you would not need to be awakened should there be turbulence.

I have never heard of filing an FAA report for using a seat belt extender.
