<p>Might seem like a rant, but I just wanted to get your opinions.</p>
<p>My roommate has been going to bed earlier and earlier these days (latest one was 730 PM). Fine, whatever, but the problem is he has to turn off the lights, leaving the room in complete darkness (except for my desklamp, which isn't that great either). Do you think it would be reasonable to ask him to leave the light on till 10? I have to study and do homework, etc. </p>
<p>Before you say go do it in the lounge, we both agreed we could study in the room. He has also pulled several all nighters last semester where he typed furiously at his computer. One time, he even left the entire light on, until I realized that I oculdn't sleep (this was at 3 AM or so).</p>
<p>He also kind of takes like 4-5 hour naps throughout the day and is in the room most of the time. I'm not complaining, its his room too...but i feel like i cant bring friends over or go about my life in the room, if you get what I mean. </p>
<p>Once again, I'm not angry, and i feel bad writing this here, but just wanted opinions.</p>
<p>Edit: also, he talks angrily to himself in a foreign language for like an hour...it somewhat scares me lol</p>
<p>Just utilize your desk lamp, and whenever you head to the sack, hopefully he’ll return the favor. If he doesn’t, then that would actually give you a valid reason to converse with him on the logistics of the dorm. </p>
<p>Indignantly talks to himself for around an hour in another language? Sounds rather serious to me. I wouldn’t want to stay with him for another semester at all.</p>
<p>he is starting to p i s s me off now. he peed so much on the toilet seat, without bothering to lift it up and with him knowing that i take do my business in the morning…</p>
<p>i also have reason to believe he has been using my shower items (soap, etc.) and my towel, which he uses to wipe his dirty ass hands with. i recently moved those back into my room instead of hanging on the rack in the bathroom. </p>
<p>oh, and then he had the audacity to toss and turn violently while i was changing because he was being disturbed by the light being emitted from my desk lamp…and he stared at me while i was changing and about to turn it off and go to bed anyway…</p>
<p>and mind you, this was at 11:20 PM…not like 3 or 4…</p>
<p>There is this really weird concept… I believe it’s like… talking to him? I know weird, who would ever expect to solve problems by talking with the people that are involved instead of random people who can actually do nothing.</p>
<p>I’d look for a desk lamp that provides enough light and can be carefully aimed or deflected to avoid annoying him. You might also use some cardboard, towels hanging from the ceiling, or some type of screen to block the light from each other.</p>
<p>And he shouldn’t? He pulled several all nighters last semester and his light was on the whole itme. Sure it was bothersome, but I didn’t complain, because I know we have to work with each other since we are living together. He doesn’t have the right to complain either…</p>
<p>And now he is talking on the phone in another language for the past hour…and it is incredibly annoying… should i ask him to **** and take it outside?</p>
<p>He’s allowed to talk on the phone. Talking in the hallway makes it annoying for everyone. If you don’t like it, go somewhere else. It’s his room too.</p>
<p>Learning to sleep with the light on is a skill you may want to develop. </p>
<p>Also, go to the lounge if it’s a huge deal and your desk lamp is completely insufficient. Sure you agreed on whatever, but things change and just deal with it.</p>
<p>I can sleep with the lights on. It is him that acts arrogant and tosses and turns (even though we both agreed and he is absolutely fine with leaving the lights on when he has to study) when he needs his beauty sleep (and he gets like 4 hour naps before he goes to bed…)</p>
<p>yes i know he can talk on the phone. its just when he talks for 4 straight hours in another language and each time he talks he sounds like he is going to murder someone (raises his voice…) scares me and irritates me. It is my room too roxsox…</p>
