Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : I live in a small dorm room with two others. I have a class three days a week at 8am, so I get up at 7am to brush my teeth/wash my face/get dressed etc. Today was the first day of my new class schedule, so I woke up at 7am, left the room to brush my teeth and wash my face, came back and turned on the lamp in my desk. Because of how the room is set up, in order to avoid the light, anybody in bed would have to turn over to face the wall. I kept my lamp on for light as I got dressed, got ready to go, and then turned off my lamp and left the room. My light was on for maybe 20- 30 mins total. 

When I got back from class, both of roommate were gone. When one of them came back, they said ‘Hey, can you not turn on your lamp in the morning anymore? It wakes me up every time and I can’t fall back asleep.’ Normally, I would completely understand and apologize, and work to find another solution. However, this roommate consistently keeps their lamp on their desk on until 3am, keeping my other roommate and I awake. 

I told her that I need the light for getting dressed and for getting ready at my desk, and she said ‘you have a flashlight on your phone, just use that!’. She kept talking over me when I was trying to tell her that I didn’t think that was going to work, so finally I said that I would try it the next time I had class, but wasn’t going to guarantee anything. She then said maybe I could look into getting a dimmer lamp instead of the one provided for us by the school in the dorms.  

This roommate isn’t very considerate of either of us that live in this room (giggling until 2am, when all of the lights are off and we are both clearly trying to sleep, refusing to take out the trash, etc), and we have done a lot to accommodate her sleeping schedule. She goes to bed very early in the morning (anywhere from 4am- 6am), then will sleep until the afternoon, once sleeping in until 5pm! During this time, I make sure I am keeping quiet as much as possible, I don’t open the blinds or turn on any over head lights, but my desk lamp if I’m working at my desk. When she says ‘it wakes me up every time’ I know she means when I turn my light on around 9am on weekends or days where I don’t have early classes too. I don’t think it’s fair to ask me to get dressed in the dark, or to sit in the dark until she wakes up so I can finally do something. 

The school year is almost done, and despite this, she’s a very dear friend of mine and I don’t want to cause a huge problem if I’m being an asshole. I just want to see if I am causing a problem, in which case I will work to finds another solution. AITA?
