Roommate Is Too Loud at Night — How to Handle It

Sleep deprivation will destroy any roommate relationship — this needs to be addressed promptly.

Have the conversation during the day, not at 2 AM when you're both frustrated.

Practical fixes: white noise machines, door draft stoppers, and budget headphones can bridge the gap.

Set shared quiet hours in HomeCo so everyone has a visible reference point — no ambiguity.
