I'm in my first year at university in England (actually my last exam was the 25th of may so I guess my year is finished) and I live in halls. I've become close friends with several people but recently I'm starting to lose my patience.
I'm a night owl, someone who lives nocturnally, I sleep from 5am to 2pm or 10am to 4pm, it differs. But my friends, especially the one I'm closest to, keep going on and on and on at me, they knock on my door when I'm in the middle of sleeping yelling "You know its 3 o'clock right?" yes. Yes I do. I don't expect them to have the same pattern as me but why do they insist that they need to wake me up and lecture me on my 'unhealthy' sleeping habits? I have tried 'setting it right' but I wake up at ridiculous hours of the morning and can't function, I get agitated and end up sleeping twice a day just, that is unhealthy. Another thing they just can't grasp is that sometimes I do not wan't to be social, this can range from a day to a whole week, they get angry at me and keep telling me I need to change and fix myself but they seem to forget the whole three months I spent with them EVERY SINGLE DAY.
I'm worn out, I need my own time to rest and recharge. How can I get them to understand that there isn't anything wrong, they don't need to have an intervention every time I say I don't want to go out, it's driving me mad.
