whats you opinion about that? I had a roomate who thought that we should be quiet on Sunday afternoon so he could sleep. He was not even a drinker, although he died about a year later at age 26 after drinking at a Room Salon, then foolishly going to a sauna the next morning, although he was a eptileptic in "remission."

Now, I have a stepson sleeping today and have to tiptoe around. He is not a drinker either, although he was out watching videos until 3 this morning.

The question is , do day sleepers have rights?

It's called a 'siesta' and it's our god-given right to take them, on Sunday and every other day of the week, time permitting. Try it-- there's nothing better.

There is a balance to be found. You shouldn't have to tip-toe constantly, but it might be a bit much to go hammering on the walls when you know they're asleep. Sleep is a wonderful and beautiful thing, and shouldn't be a point of contention.

People should sleep more. If someone is sleeping I try my best never to wake them up. I don't care what time it is.

I sleep Sunday afternoons, Monday afternoon... hell there's no 'wrong' time to take a nap. Are you one of those people who thinks that people should be up and doing chores on the weekend all day and being productive?

And what kind of house do you live in where you have to be really quiet? Don't they have their own rooms to sleep in? And how loud are you being that you will wake people up?

The bible beaters outside my window should NOT sing on Sunday with loudspeakers while I am trying to have my siesta. It is my GOD GIVEN RIGHT and they are sinning for disturbing the peace.

Nothing is wrong with sleeping during the middle of the day but you shouldn't expect the world to tip toe around you. Get earplugs and an eye mask.

He's a room-mate? You share only one room?

If there are no other rooms to go to then he doesn't have the right to make your (plural) room his.

people forget that when you are asleep your soul is wandering

so to be woken unexpectedly and abruptly can have disastrous and cataclysmic repercussions

I imagine it has something to do with severe dehydration. But that's just guessing.
