I also work odd hours and when I worked with roommates the only thing that allowed me to sleep when the rest of the world was up was earplugs! Try them and let us know how it works. It worked wonders for me because once you sleep about 5 hours if you hear a noise you can get knocked out of REM sleep and have trouble falling asleep again. Sleepy = grumpy. Good luck. And remember it is only temporary.

She is a very nice person and I don’t think she would do it purposely, but I do think she thinks what she does/thinks is right and therefore anything else is wrong. She can sleep anytime/anywhere and if she goes to bed at 10 can sleep until 7 or 8 am even with the phone going etc. Also she naps for an hour a day. When she is on nights I go out all day to make sure the place is quiet for her, I do do this as much as possible probably 75% of her night shifts!

Sadly no! And I feel like I’m on the brink of becoming a horrible person to live with although I keep smiling thinking “fake it till you make it”!
