Little backstory, my brother I share a room. My brother is the type of person for which never wakes up to an alarm, he’ll schedule 20 alarms and only wake up for one. I’m typically the one that has to turn off his alarms for him since my bed is right next to his and typically I’m a very light sleeper.

I’m typically the first one to wake up since I have to be out by 6:30am, and he’ll typically wake up around 7. My alarm is typically set at 6:10. On a sudden day, I wake up at 6:00am to “me gusta tu- manu”. Instantly I wake up upset and borderline about to cry since already I’m only getting about 6 hours of sleep. I later throughout the day ask him if he can change his alarm since it’s starting to affect the little time of sleep I already get. He wanted me to specify that I texted him “Pls don’t have any dumb ass alarms before 6:10”.

As the next day comes around, I wake up to my alarm and his alarm ringing exactly at the same time…. This time I yell at him because again, he’s not waking up until 7. His alarms are constantly giving me headaches because instead of just a sound or something calming, it’s music, on full blast, so early in the morning.

Now here is where he says I’m in the wrong. He said that bc I told him before 6:10 that I should’ve been more specific and should’ve told him a specific time for him to set an alarm. But I personally see it as human nature that he’d be considerate of others that share the space with him. But I guess common sense isn’t very common. Idk I personally feel like yes I might be taking it too far, but at the same time I feel like my feelings are pretty valid, I shouldn’t have to constantly remind someone that their alarms don’t just affect them but the person they’re sharing the space with. This also happens on his days off where he just likes to have his alarms on, just for the fun of it. And guess who that affects… definitely not him, because his ass is snoring, meanwhile there’s me trying to go back to sleep 😭.
