My boyfriend and I have been dating for 4 years now and moved in together a year ago. It's been great except that I wake up early for classes and he bartender and gets home from work at 4:30am-5. We've talked about how I hate waking up alone or getting woken up from him coming home. I feel like I'm loosing my mind I don't want to break up with him over something that I know we can solve but unless he quits his job or I drop out of school idk how we can be on the same sleep schedule.
WHAT DO?!?

Go to bed earlier and wake up at 5 when he gets home.
Spend a bit of time with him, then work out, shower and go out.

But if he goes to sleep at 5am right when he comes home? Otherwise thats not a terrible idea
I sleep 11pm-7am normally he sleeps 5am-2pm normally.
Update: we are now fighting cus i woke him up doing the dishes..... it's 1:30pm fml...

Maybe you could try sleeping in different rooms and soundproofing the walls so the noise isn't so annoying
>>17978571
And/or* sound proofing the walls, I recommend the soundproofing since you probably want to sleep in the same bed as him, at least I assume

Yeah like inwant to be able to cuddle with him and we've done the sleeping in separate beds but that started a fight because he said I was doing it cause I was mad at him and wouldn't listen when I tried to explain i just wanted a good night sleep.

Sleep is for the weaks, you don't need sleep, I mean you can sleep plenty when you're dead.

Well that kinda sounds like you outright just started doing it after a particularly bad night without discussing it first.
Talk about how it's affecting you, and then figure out a way to make it work. If you still want cuddle time, make time for it during a period when you are both awake - i.e. have sunday afternoon naps or something like that.
Instead of getting frustrated and going "ARGGH THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE", get into the habit of "Ok, so what IS possible at this point in time?"

He had a bad night at work last night so I will approach him with these ideas after he gets some food in himself and calms down. But thanks anons

If blow wasn't having a price spike atm this would be a great solution

Sleep apart, it's the simple solution couples in your situation do.
Have two separate bedrooms with each your own bed. It makes sex a little less spontaneous, but it's not a problem if you can say "I wanna fuck" to each other. And sleep greatly improves (there's been studies on that).
