b4 movin in w my rmate I told them I didn’t have many requests (besides basic cleanliness) EXCEPT I like to stay up VERY late (1-2am) + they assured me they were a night owl. but they go to bed by 9 or 10 and wake up by 7. AITA for being pissed abt this?

+also have questioned me for being up late and doing tasks later at night even tho I try to be as quiet as possible. they shame me for sleeping in and sometimes are loud in the mornings. mind you I provided nearly everything she uses in our room (fridge,microwave,tv,etc) and keep everything clean. I told her it upset me she lied to me about her sleep schedule because having to be quiet makes it very hard to get stuff done at night and she just looked at me like I was insane. what do I do

nta. if you properly communicated that you’re going to be up late unless something crazy happened that switched their schedule to early morning classes then I get it’s annoying if they’re getting woken up by you but they kinda have no right to be pissed. especially since they lied to you about also being a night person when they could have just been upfront and you would both have the opportunity to switch rooms if needed so you could live with someone who has the same schedule

If you’re being quiet like not being on the phone/slamming doors/causing unnecessary noise then I feel like you should be ok. But if your roommate has to wake up early and they keep waking up then they have the right to be annoyed too. I think it’s hard especially if you’re in school because getting up early for classes definitely take priority

I’m never otp at night, always use headphones, eat out of the room to avoid making noise, only wear socks to avoid making noise, and always close and lock the door as slowly and quietly as possible. she is literally fast asleep by 9 or 10 in bed by 8 sometimes and I also turn off all the lights except 1 so the room is as dark as possible for her even tho she uses a sleep mask. In the mornings she slams the fridge/room/dresser door and sits on my dresser sometimes. I get we’re friends but come on
