Listen to a conversation between two students. 
(Woman) 
Hey, Mike. You look tired. 
(Man) 
It’s my roommate. He just never seems to sleep much and since he’s up 
all night, that’s when he studies. And I’m such a light sleeper that his 
desk light or his moving around keeps me from sleeping well. 
(Woman) 
Why don’t you just tell him to go out to the public lounge area that all the 
students share in your dormitory and study? 
(Man) 
I did, but his books are in our room, and every time he comes in to get 
one that he forgot or something, I wake up. 
(Woman) 
You really are a light sleeper. Well, the university won’t let you change 
roommates at this point in the term, so you’ll just have to figure 
something out.

(Man) 
I don’t really want to tell him that he has to stay out of the room every 
night. That doesn’t seem fair. Especially if he needs to come back in 
during the night to get something. 
(Woman)
Maybe you should suggest that your roommate go to the campus health 
center and see a doctor. It could be the kind of sleeping problem a doctor 
could help him with, right? 
(Man) 
That’s a possibility and I’ll think about doing that. But I worry a little about 
making him feel like I think there’s something seriously wrong with him. 
I’m not sure if it would offend him or not.
(Woman) 
It would be better than waking up all night. Oh, you know what? You 
could get one of those sleeping masks—the kind that go over your eyes. 
And then maybe some earplugs, or listen to ocean sounds on 
headphones while you’re sleeping. 
(Man) 
That sounds kind of uncomfortable. But who knows, maybe I’d get used 
to it.
(Woman) 
Well, you have to give something a try.
