I don't understand. I'm respectful to my roommate. I go to bed a bit later than him and thus, I wake up later because all of my classes are in the afternoon. Now, anytime my roommate goes to bed, I immediately make sure to shut off all of the lights in the room and I Ieave to go to the study hall for the rest of the night so that he can sleep (he won't do this for me if i ever go to bed earlier than him). I'm fine with that, it's no problem.
However, when I'm still sleeping in the morning and he gets up to go to class. He turns on his desk light on the brightest capacity, this shines right in my eyes and interrupts my sleep. I understand that he has to turn on the light (in an already bright room) to get dressed and that's fine but he leaves it on for 1.5 hours as he showers (the bathroom is in a different room), sits on his phone, and get's dressed. He also just leaves the main door open when he goes to shower, so I have to get up and shut it, in order to prevent the very bright hallway light from coming through into the room. Then when he goes to class, he just leaves the light on as I'm trying to get back to sleep. Yesterday, I asked him if he could turn it off when he leaves, and he did but today, he just left it on again. If I ever get up before him, I always make sure to be extra quite and I'll turn on the light for maybe 3 minutes. On weekends he'll also do this, he'll turn on the light when I'm sleeping and then he'll just lay back down in bed and play video games or go on social media for a few hours. Which is fine but why do you have to have the light on guy? Isn't there enough brightness from the phone and computer. Again, I'd understand if he was doing something important like school work but he's just messing around on the internet.
He also has a nervous tick where he scratches his head furiously for an hour straight, sometimes in the middle of the night, and I'll hear him say "fucking bitch, little bitch" in the bathroom. I highly doubt this is directed towards me, probably some kind of social trouble, he seems to have a lot friends. I asked him one time "did you hear something?" after he said those slurs and he said "yeahh haha i tend to do that sometimes". He also seems to be a bit oblivious to everything, too caught up in YouTube, Social Media, Video Games, etc.
Anyways, I haven't ever said anything to him about his actions being annoying and he hasn't said anything to me either. We've been getting along fine and I do think he's a really nice kid but I just feel like he doesn't respect me at all. I'm an extremely light sleeper so I have been getting horrible sleep as a result of his habits.
TLDR;
feel like roommate doesn't respect me by leaving the lights on all of the time when I'm sleeping
roommate has nervous hair scratching tick and mild tourettes
i try to not do anything to annoy him and fully respect the room when he's sleeping.
we get along but should I say something or is this not a big deal?
