My roommate is a "silent morning person" and expects me to be too

Side A

My roommate wakes up at 5am and expects complete silence until they've had their coffee around 7am. No music, no phone calls, no cooking anything that "smells." I wake up at 6:30 and want to make breakfast and listen to a podcast at normal volume. They say I'm disrespectful of shared space.

Side B

I'm asking for 90 minutes of quiet in the morning. That's not unreasonable. They blast podcasts, slam cabinets, and fry bacon at 6:30am when I'm trying to have a peaceful start. I was here first and we agreed on quiet hours. Morning time before 7am should be treated like nighttime quiet hours.
