Today, I'm a college student. Just like every other goddamn day, my roommate set about twenty alarms a good two hours before she even needs to get up. She just sleeps through the first hour or so of alarms while I wake up. I've been waking up at 6 a.m., even though my first classes are at 9. FML.

Have you thought about talking to your roommate? Maybe she'll understand if you ask her to set fewer alarms!

Take it up with your DM (Dorm Manager).

I had a roommate that did this. She set her alarm at 5:45 every day because she was totally going to get up and go to the gym (she was one of those "I'll start my diet on Monday" types). Not once did she ever go to the gym. I tried talking to her about it, I threw slippers at her from across the room, and even turned her alarms off for her. Nothing got through to her so I ended up just going to the gym at 5:45 every day. I hope your roommate isn't as shitty and stubborn as mine.

You need to speak up. You are only a doormat if you allow yourself to be one. If rational discussion does not work, then I suggest a little payback in kind.

if you kill someone like that, does it still count as murder?

As long as you think the judge will really accept "but your honor, she was being annoying and setting too many alarms" as a valid reason, feel free to try it. I'm sure it'll go over spectacularly.

Do you have a roommate who's trying to sleep at these times?

Start going to sleep at 9 and waking up at 6. With your free time, dig a nice deep hole way back in the woods. By then, you can decide whether you like your new schedule or whether you'll hide your roommate's body there. You're welcome.

I feel you OP. I have a seven AM class every day, so I set my alarm accordingly. My roommate, who doesn't even have on ground classes, sets an alarm for 5:30, 5:45, 6, and 6:10 just to roll over and shut them off every morning.

Use the extra hours to work out instead of complaining.

Well find out what songs she hates, play them every time the alarm goes off. Its dark at 6. quietly get up and TURN ON BRIGHT LIGHTS, play music... or decide to vocally exercise , repetitively ask questions about what you should wear? Ask her questions about her subjects?? not that you are really interested, but to most people asking questions demands an answer... think passive-aggressive positive.

When the first one goes off, get up and turn them all off. Continue until she learns.

Oh man, I can relate! For me it's housemates who go to work around that time (and I work shifts that finish at 1am and begin at 2pm) and use the kitchen and bathroom which are respectively below and next to my room (and it's an old house). However, you're situation's worse. I assume you have tried talking to them and they've been a d!ck and ignored you. I'd either try to move rooms or if you can't drop the passive and get aggressive. Throw shoes at her, pour her over with water, hide her phone, start waking her up when she doesn't need to/don't let her go to sleep etc. I mean, this might backfire as she might start doing it even more, but she might get why it upsets you and stop. On a less aggressive approach - some smartwatches have vibration alarms. Offer to chip in half the money or something? Not ideal, but at least you'll get your sleep back?
