My sister.

JCC · 04-02-2008, 02:39 AM

Waltzes into my room and just wakes me up at 9:30am when I have trouble sleeping and got to sleep at about 4:30am. And she didn't wake me for a reason, just because she's a self involved and disrespectful brat with no regard for anyone but herself. I'm tired.

tickingstitch · 04-02-2008, 07:24 AM

you should make her breakfast and really creep her out

Zeltir · 04-02-2008, 07:37 AM

Key ftw ;p

Dark Clarissa · 04-02-2008, 07:55 AM

As you can't sleep, you should wake her up about 3am - just for no reason whatsoever. She may figure out that its not nice when someone is selfish.

That disrespectful little brat. I swear, she should be hung at noon for committing such an atrocity.

/end sarcasm.

A couple of things to try:

1. Lock your door.

2. Go back to bed later. [Obviously, you don't have to be anywhere, so just go back to sleep.]

3. Realize some of us don't have the option of staying up till four and sleeping till 9:30 on a weekday. ^_^;;;;

Would if I could. No lock.

Then you still have two choices:

1. Buy a lock, and install it on your door. Seriously, it's not -that- much effort to go through for a little privacy, and you can usually get one pretty cheap.

2. Bar your door with heavy objects at night so she can't come in.

These should work as long as you have a door, and you don't share a room with her.

Why not just...go back to bed?

Noumi · 04-02-2008, 10:04 AM

I´m so glad I´m an only child...well, life´s been difficult some way but it´s still better than having people bothering and messing with you all the time. Yeah, I´m a selfish /solitary /non-expresive person.

Tea and Cake or Death · 04-02-2008, 10:05 AM

Um, yeah. I was kind of thinking along the same lines as Opheila there.

Naps are fun! You should take one in her bed.

She turned the computer on and all that I could hear was the whirring and buzzing.

Plus she had the television blaring downstairs.

Surely there is -some- place you can go to get the rest of your sleep in..? Maybe ask your parents if you can sleep in their bed for a few hours, or go over to a friend's or something?

Or, better yet, ask her to turn off the computer and the TV so you can sleep a little longer.

[Communication is a -wonderful- device.

Nah, after half an hour of trying to get back to sleep, I'd just decided to soldier on like the manly man that I am.

If she wakes me up tomorrow though...

Depends how old she is.. under 12 and there's NO way. Trust me..

Shadows_Jukebox · 04-10-2008, 11:34 AM

Well maybe she did have a reason for waking you up but was too scared or self conciouse to tell you the real reason why she woke you up so hides it behind an arrogant exterior. As a kid I would wake my brother up constantly because I was worried he'd died or that something had happened to him, but I would never tell him the truth that I was scared shitless of our parents leaving us and of him dying... maybe she's just scared, talk to her about it.

No, she just said she didn't mean to wake me up, she meant to kinda mutter to herself 'rise and shine, jeez' but said it a bit loud.

Still a stupid thing to do.

Apathy's_Child · 04-10-2008, 02:02 PM

Sleep deprivation sucks. Fucking construction work across the street from me for the last three weeks - 8 a.m. isn't reasonable to me. 9 would be more understandable, but if they could make it 11 I'd be extremely fucking grateful. Some of us work nights.

Beneath the Shadows · 04-10-2008, 03:37 PM

Well, you could always put a bucket of water over your door...

Noumi · 04-10-2008, 05:58 PM

Now that I think about, if I had a sister I would probably kill her!! I so don´t understand girls... I mean, I´m a girl, but most of my friends are boys or boyish girls... so, I don´t share a lot with normal girls.

prophecyofdoom · 04-10-2008, 06:16 PM

Try earplugs?

Bete Noire · 04-11-2008, 01:25 AM

Spray them with deoderant or something.

Works for me anyway.

Or throw something at them.

Or if they're a lot younger just pick them up, take them back to their bed and impress upon them that staying their would be VERY beneficial to their health.

prophecyofdoom · 04-11-2008, 01:45 AM

You know I'm kind of siding with the sister. 9:30a.m. is not an unreasonable hour to be up and about, and she wanted to go on the fucking computer already. Its not her fault you stayed up till 4:30a.m.

I say this as someone with the habit of staying up till all hours myself! :P

I don't blame my family when I get woken up before I've had a chance to get properly rested. I expect it.

I'm terribly sorry to burden her with insomnia. To ask to merely be left peacefully for a while longer to regain my energy is a horrid thing to ask.

KontanKarite · 04-11-2008, 12:46 PM

I know, right? Honestly, this is a 24 hour world. The whole idea of being up at the crack of dawn is a tired old tradition.

I'll just say that I don't think there's anything wrong with staying up til the wee hours of the morning. That's the business of the person doing it. I just think it's best to sleep when it's most natural and beneficial for you to sleep.
