No Sleep

Since I moved into the Clemson University dorms at the beginning of last semester, I haven’t gotten a single good night’s sleep.  Now I’m not the kind of guy that goes to bed at 9 o’clock every night, but I’m not an insomniac either.  But apparently my roommate is!  He stays up til two o’clock every single night, watching tv, doing homework, or just playing on his laptop.  It is ridiculous how little this kid sleeps!  And the problem with him staying up is he keeps my lying in bed awake too. I’ve had talks with him, and he does a little better for a few nights, but he always goes right back to staying up nearly all night.  I don’t know what to do!  I went to Redfern to try to get sleeping pills, and they only told me to pick up some Tylenol P.M. at the drug store.  I’m sorry, but Tylenol P.M. is not going to help my fall asleep while my roommate skypes his grandmother at two in the morning.  What really confuses me is why is grandmother is awake at 2 a.m., I guess it just runs in his family.  Anyway, I just can’t wait to move out at the end of the semester and get an apartment on my own so I can sleep whenever I want to! Campus life sucks!
