Update: My sister's night owl habits were ruining my sleep

Convinced her to use headphones for late-night videos. Now I'm actually rested for my early shifts.

Seriously? Headphones would drive me nuts all night though, they always hurt my ears after a while. Isn't there a quieter compromise, like lowering the actual device volume instead?

Couldn't she just use subtitles at night?

Three nights ago, I finally snapped when her video volume peaked during my REM cycle... So I made a deal for her to use headphones, and now I'm waking up feeling human again. Subtitles? She'd need to become a speed-reader to keep up with her reality TV marathons... And turning down the volume just invites her to sneak it back up when she gets invested. Yeah, headphones might leave her ears sore, but that's the price of peace in our shared space... My sleep schedule was hanging by a thread before this compromise.
