My roommate and I normally wake up at around 4:50 AM. This means that we generally go to sleep pretty early. But my roommate takes this to a pretty extreme level:
4. Trying to go to sleep every night at 8:30 PM
Wow. And I mean wow. To make things worse, he becomes irritable when I choose to stay up as late as, say 9:30PM, leaving the light on and doing things like opening/closing drawers, using the bathroom, and typing too loud for his comfort. Basically, he's just as annoyed at me for being up as I am annoyed at him for going to sleep that early. So it's even. Except for the tiny detail of how NOBODY sleeps this early, and it is reasonable for me to do stuff in my room until 9:30. And it wouldn't be so bad if he only did this once or twice a week, but he does it about 4 times a week on average.
Of course, there was the one night when I was just minding my own business, doing some work on my computer, when he just started giggling and laughing. I looked at the time on my computer - 9:50 PM. I give him a confused look to convey "what could be this funny?"
Him- "Oh, man, I can't believe I've been in bed for over an hour and haven't fallen asleep."
Me - "Maybe you should go to sleep when you're tired, you know, after the sun goes down."
Him - "No, I'm really tired. I just can't stop thinking about sex, though."
Me - "Uh, ok. I don't really know what to tell you. Show some discipline, I guess?"
Him - "You can't control your thoughts! Maybe if I were a Buddhist monk."
My conclusion from all this? I now worry a bit about his mental discipline in general, and his impulse control in particular.
