Room Privacy

My roommate woke up this morning to a rather discomforting situation.  I thought I might bring this up in part of today's discussion.  While I was showering, my roommate's alarm clock went off.  He's a heavy sleeper and I can only sometimes be there to shut it off when it goes off. He almost always takes a long time to register what is going on before he gets up and shuts it off.  This process can take as much as an hour to two hours depending on how much homework he has the night previous.  Not only did my roommate wake to some unidentified person standing in our doorway(which had been closed) he also testified to someone angrily reprimanding him for his alarm clock going off.  I have a couple of points to make on this.

My first point is simple.  You have every reason to not want an alarm clock going off for a long period of time. I understand the frustration one undergoes when experiencing problems of this nature, however you must take into account that that particular person does not have the same sleeping preferences and habits as anyone else in the hall.  For example, I myself am a chronic insomniac and often find myself getting 0-2 and rarely 4 hours of sleep each night.  Yet at the same time I rise every weekday morning to shower at 6:00.  Very few people can claim to doing the same that I know altogether, let alone in Eaton.  And as such I'm sure others also have mismatched sleeping patterns and habits.  this is going to inevitably lead to someone with an alarm clock waking up someone else.  As for this particular case, my roommate happens to be a VERY heavy sleeper as I indicated above.  The blame cannot be put on any one person.  If the blame must fall at all it falls on the house as a whole for being unique individuals. Thus it is just silly to try and place a blame.  I would rather accept our differences.

My next point is the more crucial of the two. It's not okay to assume that you can enter a person's room while the door is closed.  Regardless of anything other than that person saying it is okay to do so.  While one could argue that interrupting sleep is a breach of privacy it is not.  It is a breach of physical comfortability that happens to everyone in a public setting at some point in time.  It does not warrant a complete breach of someone's physical and mental privacy.  So for future reference. Unless the person on the other side of the door is somehow causing you physical and/or mental breach of privacy(not comfortability) it is better to leave that door closed.

Please keep in mind that I am neutral on this and feel that both parties have valid reason.  I have given my objective opinion on this based on what makes logical sense.  I would like to hear your opinions on this basic idea.

Why Post?

I pose to my fellow Eatonians a question.

Which is more important, your anonymity or the discussion at hand?

Now, ponder this my comrades in life and ambition. What will you do when making a decision requires your voice yet you feel unwilling to compromise your anonymity?

This is the premise of Eaton Speaks.  We should all be heard, so I ask you to give your opinions here anonymously or otherwise so that YOU feel safe and comfortable.

I'm sure you understand that while I have control over comments that I will stay my hand unless you become obscene or hurtful to others or yourself.

Truly Objective
