Flatmate waking me up, am I being petty?

Kraft.l · 15-07-2017 09:53AM #1

Hey just a quick question here, flatmate started a job and he's waking me up at 6.30 am average every morning, I don't need to get up at that time, have trouble getting back to sleep, exhausted and can't focus all day, surely he could have a shower the night before and still be fresh, because I would do that to show consideration if our position was reversed , any thoughts?

Tell him you are waking every morning, and ask if he could shower the night before?

get earplugs, your flatmate is entitled to have a shower before work. i think your sensitivity is the issue, if you cant live with people move out.

Millions of people don't shower at all.

I have earplugs, the wall is paperthin and it sounds like a jet engine.

What time do you get up at

Get some 3M earplugs. They're comfy and you get used to them fairly quick. Might even have a better overall sleep, too.

Showering the night before. I don't get that. Beds are sweaty.

Pumped showers are annoying to be fair.
It's not unreasonable for a person to have a shower though.

Unless you're doing 50 laps of the Phoenix park all night I don't see how you can work up a sweat by sleeping still in bed.

I have earplugs, I use them every night.

Any other people have this problem and how did they deal with it?

myshirt · 15-07-2017 10:06AM

This would piss me off aswell. I lived with a chap who woke at 5.30ish and got home at 11.30ish, a solicitor working the bollix off himself. He only took a break on a Sunday, though Saturday he'd get home early so it was only the morning that was a problem. He'd shower in the morning, shower in the night, cook, throw on his washing, put on the dryer, turn on all the lights, stomp all over the place, and have the TV on through all this.

I let him off because I said there's no way he can keep this up. My god was I wrong.

Nip it in the bud op, tell him straight out. In shared accommodation you can't be behaving like that. If that's the lifestyle he wants he will have to pay for it and get single occupancy.

If I pay rent I think Im entitled to a decent nights sleep, dont you, Would you like to be woken up at 6.30 am every morning, if you're not going to post helpful suggestions then don't waste my time.

Half 6 isn't an unreasonable time to get up , if I was him I wouldn't be changing my morning routine to suit you sorry

That's exactly it. This is having a huge effect on the op's endocrine system.

I doubt getting up at 630 is the lifestyle he wants. He's just getting off his ass and working.

Not really

, to be honest I don't think it's much to ask for an hour and a half extra sleep.

Kraft.l · 15-07-2017 10:18AM

Well I'll guess we'll have to go our separate ways then.

Like he is entitled to take a shower in the morning.
You can ask if he doesn't mind taking a shower in the evening.
If he doesn't want, you don't really have a choice: Move out and make sure the sound proofing in your next place is top notch or your bedroom is not next to the bathroom or kitchen.

A morning shower is essential If you work in a customer facing role
What does he do ? What do you do that you don't need to get up till 8

Right.

I'm a sweater at night so I need to have a shower in the morning, this guy could be the same.
I know everyone is different but 630 isn't that early and asking someone to shower at night time would be akin to suggest that you go to bed earlier.

Have you tried different earplugs, different models mould differently in your ears and can really block out everything.
