This happened when I was living in a dorm.

I explained to my roommates that because of my insomnia I can’t sleep whenever I want. I have to follow a strict routine and I sleep from 23 to 7. I asked them not to make too much noise when I’m trying to sleep (previously one of them decided it would be OK to play a song loudly at 23 while I was trying to sleep which is why I felt like a conversation was necessary)

They did not like this so they complained to the person in charge, who told me that the sleeping hours are from 24 to 6 and if I dislike that I can leave but I don’t have the right to ask anyone to be quiet before 24 or after 6. Alright then.

My roommates tend to sleep from 2 to 7 and also during the day from 15 to 17. Now according to the rules, I have every right to be loud during 15 to 17 right?

And that’s exactly what I did. Every day, when they wanted to sleep, I played music or talked to my phone or invited people over. They couldn’t sleep anymore. So eventually they decided that they really need some sleep and since I won’t let them sleep during the day, they chose to sleep at 23, when I would also be asleep.

But I wasn’t done.

You see, they already ruined my routine, so I can’t sleep anymore and keep in mind, I still have the right to be noisy from 23 to 24 and that’s exactly what I did.

Eventually we had another fight and they asked me to stop and promised to be quiet when I want to sleep.

No one bothered my sleep after that.
