Ever seem like you always get woken up early?

All the time I'll try to take a 20 minutes nap... and I'll just be getting to sleep, or it will be 5 minutes before I'm suppose to wake up... and sure enough....
-I forgot to turn off my speakers and 20 people decide to get on and offline and annoy the heck out of me with the AIM sound
-Some kind outside decides it's a good day to practice his dribbling skills outside of my room.
-My roomate chooses this precious time to blast the bass on his music. Man that rhythmic brain-thumping sure lulls me to sleep.

lol.. It's like "What the heck?! Am I cursed?"

I pretty much never get calls in my dorm... well I'm too asleep to realize what it is.. so I finally wake up and look at my clock... and it's 1 minute before my alarm is supposed to have gone off!

I think back... and realize that no, I didn't just turn off my alarm... the phone was ringing incessantly.

Just a little rant from your friend, Abstraction

Yeah, all the time. It seems like the phone always rings right after I get into bed. Or the street will fill up with kids screaming and bouncing things (maybe each other). That's one of the reasons I've taken to sleeping with foam earplugs. They won't cancel all the noise -- you'll still hear the phone or your roomate's music, most likely -- but they'll go a long way toward muffling that thumping basketball or other more minor annoyances.

Other than that, make sure you take all possible steps to eliminate unnecessary interruptions before getting comfortable. Don't forget to turn off your speakers, unplug your phone or turn off the ringer, (that is, if you can afford to miss a call or two), and maybe ask your roomate to respect your wishes for a little quiet time.
