Lights??

Lights??

This is a bit of a weird one but I’m genuinely struggling and looking for advice?

I, 21 M, live with 3.5 roommates. I say 3.5 because two of my roommates have a kid (the .5). One of my roommates who I will call Daisy (41 F) is being a bit obnoxious. I have put a diagram above to show my issue. My room does not have a proper door and the ‘wall’ that I have currently is a bunch of room dividers. Daisy keeps turning on the big light in the main part of the floor when she comes up.

She insists she does it because she can’t see but I have put several night lights and automatic lights so she can see where she’s walking. She keeps turning it on. I work in a place where I’m needed to get a good amount of sleep before it becomes a safety hazard. I’m most likely going to talk to her again about this but I’m stumped and annoyed that she keeps disrupting my sleep. She has done this all night from when I am trying to go to bed (10:30ish) to 1am.

Edit: Since I saw like 2 comments on this I’m going to put it here as well. I have tried a sleep mask but it got overstimulating due to sensory issues I have from disorders.

Why can’t I sleep without taking a melatonin?

I would like to say that this has been a long term life long problem. I was only able to start sleeping properly when I started on melatonin recently. I am 21 and have been dealing with this issue since I was 10 or 11. I try to fall asleep but I end up tossing and turning until I eventually tucker myself out. I started taking melatonin when I moved out of my home with my parents and was able to start sleeping better.

The only time I can really sleep without supplements is when my long-distance partner is with me. I haven’t been able to sleep well in any other setting besides that. My next step is to bring it up with my therapist but I wanted another non-biased perspective.
