What worries me today is to be late at work. Since my work shift change from day to night shift. I am in the adjustment period for my body clock. Since i normally sleep at night and awake the entire day. Now i have difficulty sleeping. It is too noisy if it is daytime. Like i can hear the sounds of the television since my mother is watching it and i can't stop her even if i put something in my ear or even if i close the door. Then at the window i can hear cars. And feels like i am afraid to sleep coz i maybe oversleep and might be late at work.
Alarm clock will not work for me. My body automatically wake up every morning even if without alarm clock as what i normally have before. I can't let my mother to awake me coz she might be sleeping by then. I supposed to wake up 1am coz my work start at 3am. Travel to work takes atleast 2hrs.

I don't understand why your mother has to watch TV at a high volume when you have to sleep.
You can buy her a device which she puts in her ears. Then only she hears the noise from TV but you don't.
This is the link for amazon.com. It's rather long.
Online shopping from a great selection at Electronics Store.

It is not high volume. We are living in a condo unit where in our living room is just right next to my room. So whenever shes watching even if with low volume i can still hear it. Our unit is in the 2nd floor so i can also hear sounds cars outside coz our window is open for ventilation. We don't use aircon coz it is expensive. It's not other house where in living room is in the other side of the room. I don't think she like the idea of putting something on her ears. She even hate earphone or headset with her phone. She's just like those elderly that doesn't like gadget with her. She just love the ordinary things. Shes almost 80 years old. She only stay with us during school days so she can look after my daughter she hates to even go back and forth to the house but they have house.

I also used to have the same shift before and i feel lazy to woke up that early. But of course i have no choice but to wake up. As what they said "let us be thankful if we woke up everyday with a job than be jobless"

I was working the night shift for some time and I can totally understand your struggle. Sleeping during the day is not easy. Since I do not live far from the main road, I would hear the sounds of the vehicles and I couldn't really sleep because of that. I am always worried if I am not on time to go to work or an appointment
