My boyfriend (20M) and I (20F) are arguing over his sleep schedule

"My boyfriend's a nice dude, but if we were mugged or something he wouldn't be able to protect us." What? Why? Is he weak? You'd be surprised what adrenaline can do."He always jokes and says that I'll wake him up for his classes and make him sleep at a reasonable hour, and honestly that is in my personality, but I don't want to be a nag." Sounds like he wants a mommy. That is kind of my personality too, but I don't want to HAVE to do this to my bf. Sometimes I do nag him, but I even hate it as it comes out of my mouth.

"I have a feeling that my nagging personality is leading to our sex issues--how can a guy be attracted to a girl that bugs him like his mom would?" See Freud. "sometimes he's up doing stupid stuff like playing video games." I know people are gonna eat you alive with this comment, but I kind of agree. Had a friend who did this. Didn't want to hang out with him when he didn't sleep well, eventually dropped his friendship for unrelated reasons but this basically led to me never hanging out with him anyways. It is annoying. People don't get it that their hobby can affect their lives.

I would ask him if he would consider a different sleeping schedule when you two moved in. Otherwise, it sounds like you aren't compatible room mates right now. He might need more time to adjust (or grow up). You shouldn't have to worry about nagging him, being annoying, waking him up on time, etc. You aren't his mom. And if he blows you off and gets angry for trying to bring up the subject, this is probably a red flag. He sounds kind of immature. I get that it is a typical college student thing, but you guys are trying to grow up and get a place together. Part of growing up is accommodating/compromising. I am a light sleeper, and this shit would piss me off.
