hey!! so i've moved in with two friends into a one bedroom apartment. right now the two of them sleep in the bedroom while i have taken the futon in the living room! most of the time, it works out great. i mean it's not the most comfortable arrangement at some points, but we're moving into a bigger apartment in a couple of months so it's nothing i can't deal with.

but, i work the night shift and by the time i come home and wind down, it's about 6-8am. again, not really a problem because i'm super quiet coming in and if i need food, i make something quiet/pick it up on the way home so i don't wake my roommates up! they also are a bit of ways away from the kitchen so there's a little buffer for the noise.

however, since i sleep in the living room which has the kitchen in it (again, small apartment!) it's a lot easier for me to be woken up by stuff. my one roommate is here during the day and it's getting more frequent that i'm being woken up by him when he goes to make breakfast. he is super considerate though and goes for stuff like waffles or toast, something that won't take a lot to make!! but, i keep getting woken up anyways. (this is at about noon or so, i try to wake up at about 2-3 so i can get enough sleep but not be awake for too long before i go to work so i can save my energy) x_x and on the weekend when my other roommate is home as well, it gets a bit harder for her to like. not do anything before 2-3 ish.

i don't want to say "hey you guys need to stop existing before i wake up" but at the same time, i'm a person who really, REALLY needs their sleep. (chronic exhaustion + working the night shift lmao) it's not at all possible for me to move to another room (because there's nowhere else to move to), and i also can't do ear plugs/headphones because i also need to hear my alarm in the 'morning' and it's super super hard for me to sleep when i use them.

does anyone have any ideas for what i could do or what we could work out? >0>;; we're super open about communication and stuff but like. none of us have any ideas for what we could do to at least come to a compromise about things. i know in a couple of months we're gonna be moving to a place where i can get my own bedroom and Problem Solved, but i need to get through to that point first!!

thanks for your time!!!!

There are noise canceling earbuds so you can hear your phone alarm through them.
