My girlfriend and I have recently moved into a new apartment and our new bedroom has a different layout to our previous bedroom. Previously my girlfriend slept on the side near the bedside cabinet that had our phones on overnight whereas now that's where I'm sleeping and the side my gf sleeps on doesn't have enough room for one.

There isn't much space under the bed so we couldn't have her phone on the floor next to her with an extension.

It's mainly because my gf can't sleep on one side due to an injury so finds sleeping on that side of the bed better. One thing she's started doing is waking me up in the middle of the night to ask me to check the time.

I've told her a few times to stop since she can easily get out of bed and walk around if she wants to check her phone. She did it again last night and I got annoyed.

I told her she needs to stop ruining my sleep because she can't be bothered to get out of bed. she said she wasn't asking for much but I just pointed out she's waking me up 2-3 times a night for no reason.

I pointed out the alarm would wake us up so there's no reason for her to know what time it is and there's no reason for her to be waking me up every night.

She got annoyed and said I was being too harsh towards her and that she hadn't done anything wrong.

AITA for expecting her to stop waking me up?
