<p>for the record, I go to bed at ten-ish on the weeknights :)</p>
<p>Why do you go to bed so early? I'm not criticizing, really, I just want to know.</p>
<p>I actually don't think you're totally out of line. Maybe you're naturally a morning person and if you get up at 7am, it's hard to do to much at 10 or 11pm. My roomie runs cross country and track. She has lifting at 6:15am on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and practice every afternoon. On the weekends she either has practice at 8am Saturday morning or she has to be at the gym to go to an out-of-town meet at 7am. The only day she has off is Sundays, and she uses the day to catch up on studying. </p>
<p>Lucky for both of us, I'm a really heavy, late sleeper. She can blow-dry her hair, have the music on at a normal volume, talk on the phone, whatever, I don't wake up. </p>
<p>Despite this, I do respect her sleep schedule. She didn't decide when lefting, pratice, and meet times would be, and I doubt she's crazy about them. On Mon, Wed, and Fri we both have class at 9am, so our TV and lights are out by 10pm on Sun, Tues, and Thurs. nights. Tuesdays and Thursdays I don't have class until 11am. When she's up and I'm asleep, she's nice enough to only turn on necessary lights of she's up before dawn and she doesn't turn on music really loud. In return, when she turns in at 10pm, I turn off all music and tv, turn off the overhead light, and if I need to work on my computer, I leave on the desklap only, which doesn't seem to bother her. If I need to read or do something not on the computer that will take a while, I go to the lounge down the hall. On weekends, the lights go out by 1am at the latest, and I come in later than that (which doesn't happen often), I come in silently and make as little noise as possible. Yes, since she goes to bed early, I try and go to bed then too so she can sleep. It does usually mean me laying in bed awake, listening to my Ipod for 2 or 3 hours, but we all make sacrafices and this is mine. I do things that bug her, I know it. I'm a big fan of the snooze button and during the day I like to watch tv if I don't have work to do. </p>
<p>My point is: talk to him. If you have a good reason for going to be and getting up early, then he needs to make some changes. If you're just be inflexible and unwilling to adapt to staying up past 10pm in college, then maybe you should move elsewhere.</p>
<p>yes, I am a morning person...I also am one of those people who needs AT LEAST eight hours of sleep per night and am best off with ten; I also have and 8:30 class three days a week</p>
<p>I can feel for ur roommate cuz one time at a summer program I had to room with a guy that always wanted to sleep.</p>
<p>I know u need ur sleep, but the roommate needs to do things he wants aswell. It can't be all about u. If u must be asleep by the said time, that means theoretically ur roommate can do nothing in ur room after u fall asleep. Sounds a bit unreasonable to me. You should talk with him and see if there are ways to work around people's sleep habits.</p>
<p>commanch, do u have any friends???? cause it doesnt look like it</p>
