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.


If you include the finished basement that my step son occupies, our home is over 3500 square feet! But, the central air ducts transmit noise, and the place creeks. Hard to get much for $260,000 these days!


I forgot about this thread and see that you all had a good time and that you really like sleep. That is a good thing.

My dead ex-room mate had an epileptic seizure in the Mok Yok Tang after a night of drinking.

When he complained about my get together on a sunny Sunday afternoon, we were just hanging out having a few beers in the middle of the afternoon. Present were a 65 year old local, myself and my wife, and two Filipino entertainers who joined us. We were not excessively loud but I am sure we were talking a lot.

He complained to the owner and a "policy" was put into effect where guests had to be "pre-approved."

So here I am on Sunday afternoon listening to Mark Knopfler on Youtube while my stepson who is half my age, again sleeps in the basement.

I wonder how my dead ex-roomate who was my step-sons age when he died is doing in his Budda Heaven?

My opinion is very clear - no , it is not inconsiderate to disturb someone during the daytime - especially Sunday, which is the day most working people have time to enjoy.

You are going against the grain and what should be the norm by sleeping in the afternoon , absent illness.

Suck it up. You may want to ASK the people that are living a normal life to help you - but DO NOT demand them to be like you - which is not normal; either you are depressed , ill or partied too much the night before so don't expect the world to adjust to YOU!

Pssh, sleep on Sunday all you want, but I'm not going to push the mute button on life for you to do it.

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?



Your writing would be clearer and less irritating to read if you could learn to use the word 'although' correctly.

I'm surprised no one else has commented on how strange his writing style is.

Although I didn't notice this at first at first.

There's nothing nicer than a little Sunday afternoon catnap. Especially if one attends church, eats a nice lunch, and finds oneself on a sofa with a full belly.

However, this sort of nap is not meant to last all afternoon, or to make up for sleep that was lost due to a late night. It's meant to refresh you without messing up your sleep patterns and your Monday morning. After the nap, you should try to get outdoors, enjoy some sunshine and maybe get a little exercise.
