She likes to sing Mariah Carey
while brushing her teeth. It’s a rare talent, and it echoes sonorously against
the walls of the bathroom, out the open door and right into your bedroom as you
try to sleep. She watches hilarious
shows on the TV in the living room. And they are FUNNY. She cooks.
She cleans. All at ungodly hours…
For
the uninitiated, here are some tried and true tips:
1.
Earplugs.
Steal a few from the law library and pop them in as you’re trying to drift off
to dreamland. The catch: they may entirely block out the sound of your alarm
clock tomorrow morning, and it’s possible you’ll arrive (very) late to LRW.
2.
Noise
machine app. There are a million of these for free in the app store. You
can enjoy the calming sounds of a rainforest, wind chimes, ocean waves,
children laughing, etc. The catch: it may actually be near impossible to fall
asleep to the calming sounds of a rainforest, wind chimes, ocean waves and/or
children laughing.
3.
A fan.
The obvious choice. Get it cheap from amazon and pick it up the next day from
mail services. Catch: tomorrow morning all of your neatly organized papers will
be strewn across the expanses of your dorm room, and you’ll be freezing cold.
4.
Just
storm out at 2 am and demand silence. The catch: you might scare her,
because you’re acting crazy, your hair’s a mess, and your eyes are all
bloodshot and crazy looking. But no worries, you’ve finally grown a pair and
voiced your needs, and she’s understanding and happy to comply.
Sweet, sweet (undisturbed) sleep.
