I have a question to any of you who may be in the following living
arrangement:

You and someone else (roommate/posslq/spouse) reside together.	One of you
lives on a "normal" schedule (perhaps not necessarily diurnal, but at least
regular, regulated by the clock).  The other works "hacker's hours", i.e.
with minimal regularity of schedule.  How in the world do you work out
residing together when one person may be (or want to be) awake at the same
time the other person needs to crash out?  How do you manage to respect each
other's needs for sleep, food, clean laundry, etc. when so much of the time
is spent trying to keep quiet so as not to disturb the other person?  I ask
because I (the "hacker's hours" person) have recently acquired a roommate
(the diurnal person), and it is driving me up the wall to have him around,
to a great measure because of our difference in schedules.  I've a good mind
to request that he move out.  But if any of you knows some less drastic
measure for establishing peace in this situation, please share it with me
QUICKLY.  Thanks....
