mine does the same thing, and then complains to her dad bc apparently i have an easy major and i don’t have as much work, no i actually do have as much work, if not more, but i do it earlier than 30 minutes before its due’

that really sucks, i'd be annoyed too. if you don't feel like they'd respond well to you talking about it directly (which is what i'd try first) maybe get a blackout sleep mask and maybe some earplugs you can reuse?

maybe they are more active at night? maybe they retain info better when doing work right before they sleep. don’t assume everyone learns the same, also seems like an issue that doesn’t need to exist. buy a sleep mask or something. don’t post crap like this on yikyak and assume you’re in the right

yeah i need to say something but i feel bad cause like idk. i would do ear plugs but for some reason they like never stay in my ears cause i use to try to use them when my brother would snore in a hotel room. so idk.

honestly it’s only happened like three times, i’m just aggravated cause i had midterms this week and it happened like twice. also it’s just a build up of being on the phone, leaving her lights on, and listening to tiktoks without headphones at night. i feel like it’s common courtesy to just not do that.

notice how i said “is it bad…”, i wasn’t assuming i was right and was asking if how i felt was valid!! also because of limited characters i was unable to add that in our required roommate agreement she was the one who brought up quiet hours after 12 and i agreed, typing loudly is not quiet. additionally, i only have one place to sleep while she has the ability to walk to the study lounge a minute away.

you’re right not everyone learns the same way but i accommodate her in certain ways like studying outside the room when she chooses to sleep during day hours so she should be accommodating too
