Folks, Im having a bit of a problem here. I decided to move into my fraternity house for this year--I figured it would be nice to be near my friends, it would be a good time, its closer to campus than the dorms, and actually cheaper as well. But there's a bit of a problem--sleep.

Yeah, yeah, I can see it coming--duh! But seriously, its getting bad. I havent slept for more than 5 hours a night for the past three nights, and its starting to wear me down. The whole drunk-brothers-running-around-at-4AM thing (which is why I am posting this at 5AM when I have to be up at 9) is starting to wear on me.

I bought some earplugs and sleeping pills to try to help. Not working so much. The sleeping pills are nice, but I dont want to be taking them every night because Im afraid I then wont be able to get to sleep normally.

Ive decided that Monday Im going to go by the Dean of Students and the Housing Department and see if there is any possibility of getting on-campus housing this late. Classes start Tuesday, so I doubt it, but Im going to ask anyways. Im not sure yet that I definitely want to move out after being here for less than a week, but Im really concerned that my utter lack of sleep and the completely foul moods that puts me in will make me hate this place, which is something I definitely want to avoid. Too much of a good thing can be bad. Besides that, Id like to know my options.

Any suggestions on how to sleep? Should I just give up on it and try to find housing elsewhere? Start popping sleeping pills like candy (not good)? I suppose a big part of this post is just me venting at 5AM because Im grumpy and cant sleep, but Id really like to solve this problem.
