We only have one room for us youngster. So around 5 of us are sharing one room. Its not a boarding house but it is our home that seems to be a boarding house. Imagine how hard it is to sleep. Cuz when someone is still awake, like still texting, her/his phone's backlight is so annoying.
And this is what I don't like much. My brother used to play radio on while his sleeping. So all of us hear it at night. I'm not used to sleeping with sounds or musics on. And it really bugs me at night. We always asked him about it, and the only answer he reply is, "then, living room area is a better place for you to sleep" .
Of course, nobody wants to sleep there, so for about a year now, I can't hardly sleep at night as easy as I want to because of the sound. So usually, I get myself exhausted before going home so that when I reach my bed, I'm tired and sleepy.
I want to buy some earplug that I could use. But I don't know where to find it. Where I can buy it??????? I'm wearing eye patch at night now I'm looking for earplug. .whats next? nose air strainer?? lols.
No. Actually, I'm serious. I need an earplug. :'(
How bout you mylotters? What can you say about listening to radio while sleeping? Music or Am or whatever. hmmmmm...
Its kinda annoying for me.

With buy earplugs i guess not the best solutions for your problem. Until when, you will sleep with earplugs and feels uncomfortable. I think the best solutions for you is :
1. Try to approach with your brother,that people around him feel disturbed by the radio voice.
2. Tell him that body,eyes,ears,and mind also need a break.
3. Even when we sleep,should turn off room lights.

i agree with you.sometimes i really cant unedrstand why some people must play the radio to fall asleep,this is reaaly will affect the quality of sleep,and its not good to our physical,futhermore it is not good to our eardrum.Sometimes my friend while reading while listening to the radio,i can not understand how to concentrate and focus when you thinking a bout some think.If some noisy sound,it will be distacting.

There are many places where you can find earplugs. I'm sure any supermarket would have them, or trying looking at a hardware store, where they sell tools. I'm pretty sure a store like that would have earplugs. Also, I don't mind sleeping with the radio on, I actually need some white noise to sleep.

I have no problem with radio music when sleeping but i can't stand if someone just talk and talk around me while i asleep.
In your case, many guys living in the same room, so that you guys should learn to respect each other. Your friend is not nice when listening music without headphone because you are annoyed with it. He knows it but he ignores, he is quite selfish when just think of him only.

Yeah. Sort of. I'm thinking of renting my own place. Hope that will work. Cuz I can't take hearing music at night. Can't sleep. Can't study at home too, cuz we're too many.

I actually enjoy listening to some quiet music (or loud music played soft) as I fall asleep; silence tends to make me feel a bit alone. Instead of listening to radio, I listen to my iPod instead, with earphones. I find headphones a bit too bulky to use when sleeping; I tend to sleep on my side.

I'm imagining what the song says that's why I can't sleep. I find it so loud though it is so soft cuz its the only I can hear at night. Better to hear insects sounds than music at night.

I think you will find earplugs in the pharmacy. I have lots of them that I was collecting from the international flights (they were provided for free) so I have never bought. Workers also use earplugs on the construction site, so you might find in a place were they sell safety products like helmets, gloves etc. I am not sure if those are appropriate for sleeping though.
Personally, I can't sleep if there is noise in the room, except if I am excausted! I think I would try the living room if I was you. When I visit my brother is his house I sleep on the couch because he only has one bedroom with a single bed. It's not as comfortable as a bed, but it is fine and there is also a TV so I can watch before falling asleep. Good Luck :)

Indeed,it's very annoying, I can understand because I have the similar experience.The earplug is a good solution,And u can purchase it in every supermaket or online.But when you use it for a time,it will make you ear pain.It seems live in a big house,and get more rooms, it's the best solution

When I am sleeping, I like for it to be quiet and when I was sharing a room when I was in the dorm in college, I would do everything that I could so that I would not inconvenience my roommates. That meant that I had headphones that I hooked up to my television so that I could watch it without disturbing them. It meant that I did hang a blanket so that my lights wouldn't bother them.
So, for your brother, what he really should do is get some headphones to wear to listen to the music when he is sleeping instead of making everyone listen to it.

Well,i have to say that we do have exactly the same habit and i love radio so much.However, i remember that once my roommate who play the radio before we all sleep.It's quiet but quite warm.Now i choose to keep on this and i feel happy.Maybe earplug would be better.

My sister and I are in the same room to sleep,at night when my sister back to the habitual player radio,but often to affect my sleep ,so I can not sleep,so every night until my sister fell asleep I only turn off the radio,just let able to sleep well. Together with my sister those years, i have become accustomed to her on the radio,and have become accustomed to listening radio until i fell asleep.But when i encountered about some trouble,I really is not in the mood to listen to the radio.But to be honest,listening to radiao to sleep is not good to our body.if is really annoying u,can try to communicate.
