Practice kindness.

As college departure approaches, parents get nervous. It is normal and comes out in many ways.

You should try to work on your snarky/cynical attitude.

I know right? I mean unless the kid is a Ninja climbing out of your bunk and getting ready will probably wake them up anyway, the rooms aren't that big. Roommate will get over it.

There are watches with vibrating alarms. I use one, and it works well on those days that I have to get up early.

My kid uses her fitbit, which just vibrates I think. When we are sharing a hotel room it never bothers me but it wakes her.

Our solution to this and so many other things was to secure a $ingle room

The most respectful set-up is stuffing your alarm device under your pillow. Phone set to vibrate, or alarm on low. Problem is if you're a heavy sleeper, like DS. I don't know what he's going to do...

Their phone. You can have the alarm set to vibrate, and keep it next to the bed on a hard surface. Unless you're a super-deep sleeper, that should be enough to wake you up, but not so loud as to fully awaken your roommate.

What does you DC use as an alarm clock if they have a roommate in their dorm room? My DC has a couple of very early classes so we want to respectful. What do kids do these days?
