TL;DR: My girlfriend knows what she does wakes me up. She knows that waking me up with the lights on and music/podcasts playing will keep me awake. She knows that if she keeps me awake for long enough, I won’t be able to go back to sleep. She calls my request to do anything else unreasonable and controlling.
So, yeah. Basically as the title says. This is a relatively recent phenomenon and we’ve been living together for a while. If she doesn’t wake me up just by moving because we’re sleeping close enough, the noise of what she gets up at night to do surely will. Sleeping in different rooms isn’t an option because she genuinely does it loud enough to wake me from another room (we tried).
I ask her to not wake me up, and it’s like a battle. I even just try to ask her to listen to whatever she’s listening to on headphones so I can block out the light myself and she refuses. I ask her to at least keep the lights off and she refuses. I ask her to at least be somewhat more gentle when she’s getting up so she doesn’t wake me and she refuses. I’m genuinely at a loss here. I just want to be able to sleep in my own home.
