Am i wrong in what i am doing?

My roommate has 8 am classes, so do I. I, however, can get up and to class on time. My roommate cannot, he always oversleeps and sometimes doesnt even choose to go. I got him up for the first week, but its the third week of classes and he still cant get up. Should I wake his ass up, or leave him be.

I would just leave him alone, he'll learn when he has to retake the classes again and/or see all that money going to waste.

 

[Electric Amish]

Leave him. That's what college is all about.

Get a super-soaker.

Tell him that if he's not up at a specified time you're emptying it on him.

If its not a hassle for you, just wake him up. I am such a hard sleeper that I can rarely wake up by an alarm, telephone, anything. So usually I have to have my dad wake me up by shaking me violently. As long as it is not inconvenient for you, just wake up the guy.

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

Does he want you to wake him up? If he doesn't, then leave him be.

 

[xospec1alk]

i would wake him up...but in a cruel way, bb gun? rat? pound his balls? i dunno...anything i mean do you want him to fail out? i wouldn't want that for my roomie...

 

I say tough cookies,If he cannot be responsable enough to get his lazy arse up and go to class,then he deserves to fail.


Are you his MAMA ?

I woke my roommate up for about the first week, but it didn't do much. He'd fall right back asleep. I figured it was his funeral. He flunked out.

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

He either should of taken later classes, OR he should figure out how to get out of bed (multiple alarms, electric shock, telephone wake up calls, light bulb on a timer)

Do what you want to do, and don't feel guilty about it if you don't feel compelled to wake him up.

 

[WarSong]

pound his balls?

:Q

 

[MaxDepth]

You go to classes, make the grades, graduate.
As these are tough times getting a job, do you want one more competitor?

Cull the herd and move on.

 

[Mister T]

If you are his friend and he appreciates you waking him up, then wake him up.
If not, screw him

 

[rgwalt]

Ask him.... If he wants you to wake him up, then get his butt up. If not, then leave him be. If he chooses to miss class, it isn't your fault. You aren't his mom.

You're doing nothing wrong. Leave him be, if he wants to pay or use scholarship funds so he can sleep then that's his problem, not yours.

 

[Keego]

Dude, I had this exact same problem last year. Leave him be, it's his own fault. I want to cuss now, I hate this topic.

 

[HamSupLo]

show him some tough love

 

[Que-TiP]

help him flunk out, then you can have the place to yourself.

 

[Stark]

at most say "you're going to be late" once before you leave in the morning. He's in the real world now (well, sort of) and he gets to learn the consequences of being a lazy butt.

 

[mpitts]

Him being to school on time is not your responsibility.

While I understand him not being able to get up w/an alarm clock, I wouldn't get him up.

I am the same way though... I have a very difficult time waking up, it isn't because I'm lazy, I just sleep very deep I guess. Clocks, phones, storms, usually never wake me up.

its the same thing for me, but i can still get outta bed. Oh well, if he fails out i get my own room, then this place can be CLEAN for once!

Here is his quote for the day "Its only Java Programming, its not that hard." After that he laid back down.

Wake him up...

If he chooses not to go... that is his prob... but this is your friend, right? how hard is it?

Damn, when i went to college in the US, was sprayed so i would wake up, i chased that girl around the apartment, and when i caught her... well i was always late....

Well... at least he had a point... and a very good one...

Well what is his problem? If your friend is out half the night goofing off and can't wake up because he didn't get to bed until 3:00am, that's one thing. In that case, I'd say let him reap what he sows.

But if there is no apparent reason why he cannot wake up in the morning, then it may not be something he has much control over. There are sleep disorders like obstructive apnea, insomnia, and sleep phase disturbances that can make it difficult for him to wake himself up in the morning.

If the guy is getting enough sleep, he should have little difficulty getting up. If he seems to be getting enough sleep and still has trouble getting up, I would suspect there is something more there than meets the eye. Few people just 'chose' to stay in bed when doing so will result in undesirable consequences (failing classes) because they're lazy. They're usually too tired to get up. The question is, why are they too tired?
