    My roommate has to wake up at 5:30 for work and apparently normal alarms dont work on him. His solution is preparing rice before bed, setting the delayed timer, and having it finish cooking exactly at 5:30 because he claims the smell wakes him up.
  • At first it was just plain rice which was weird but whatever. Now he's started adding chicken stock, garlic and sometimes chopped sausage because he says the stronger smell works better. Our entire apartment smells like dinner before sunrise and the cooker plays a little song when it finishes.
  • I asked him to stop and he offered to move it into the hallway outside our bedrooms instead. He says I should be grateful because there's always free rice, but I've been budgeting and cooking my own meals already.
  • This morning I woke up at 5:30 to the smell of garlic sausage rice and him sleeping straight through it anyway.

  • junieroomie if he shares the food as free mealprep i'd let it pass
  • oxfay I don't see what the problem is. Except for the fact that it's not working in waking him. Tell him to drink a glass of water before he goes to sleep.
