Re: Advice, please

Could she look into vibrating alarms, that go under your pillow? My housemate is deaf and has one, and she complains about how strong the vibration is, so hopefully it would work for your roommate.

Hopefully she'll be understanding and you guys can come to some arrangement, because that does sound like a difficult situation.

+1 for this. I swear, roommate alarm issues are some of the most annoying roommate problems.

I am also deaf, and highly recommend the bedshaker alarm. Some models also come with the ability to hook up to a bedside lamp and/or a landline phone. So, if the mattress shaking off the boxspring doesn't wake you, the annoying flashing light will. (Esp. at 6am when it's still dark enough that will bolt you awake.) And/or you can set an alarm on YOUR phone to send your roomie a phone call at such and such a time (triggering the phone, which triggers the bedshaker), as you sleep in peace.

Perhaps I am a mean person, but I also roomed in a dorm with someone who would sleep through her alarm like that and resist me waking her up. So after several weeks of that, I just started turning her alarm off after it had gone off for a bit and going back to bed. Made me so mad; it wasn't my job to cajole her awake like I was her mommy because she was too stoned to get up like a normal person.

all this to say, the roommate needs to do something different. You waking her up is not acceptable. Her alarm going off interminably is not acceptable.

Oh man, so much this. I get up each time my alarm goes off in every attempt not be that roommate, and we don't even share a room.

Now I'm creating an elaborate plan as to how I would react to having that roommate...

Ahahahhahaaaa.

Yes!

Once we lived next door to some people who would just let their alarm go off for hours and we could hear it in our bedroom, and I wanted to kill them. I decided when we left that apartment complex I would never ever live in an apartment again because of the thin walls and lack of privacy.

So much this. We stayed with Cat's Aunt for a month or so when he first got out of the Army, getting jobs and finding a place to live that was near out works. Her daughter, son-in-law and their kid lived wit her, too, in the finished basement and their alarm would go off an hour before we had to get up, local talk radio turned up as *high as it would go* and it would just...play.

I wanted to kill them, and i cannot imagine doing that with a toddler, since they would inevitably wake up, too. So frustrating!

People are inconsiderate; I think that's what the world boils down to. I am consistently grateful I don't have lasers for eyeballs because I would have rid the world of lots of inconsiderateness over the years. LOL
