Nta. Unless you have the computer screen angled directly at her face, it's not your issue. I need complete darkness to sleep so I got myself a eyemask freshman year because I knew it would be an issue.

I don’t think you’re a bad person or always an ahole. Just this situation. I have tried an eye mask. I just can’t stand them. Idk roomie at all but it could make them feel claustrophobic or uncomfortable. You can ask her or him if they’re OK with it, but you can’t control that you can only control yourself. If you need study with the brightness all the way on, then you can do it with the brightness down a little bit, the screen facing away from them, or

If your beds are Bunk’d, you can be on the bottom bunk and put blank. It’s all around your bed, blocking the light from reaching all across the room You can also just go to a different area. You’re in a dorm. There’s a study area specifically for instances like this. If you’re in a house, go to a different room. This post just makes it sound like you’re doing this on purpose to piss them off. When it sounds like there’s other problems here. And this type of pettiness is just making it worse.

I’m only saying this because you asked why. I don’t want to argue. I know I don’t know the whole situation but it’s just my opinion
