Now, I know beast Boy has a bunk bed in his room, but I wanted things to be as appalling as possible.
And I don't know for sure if everybody has their own bathroom, but I'm making it that way anyway.
Please do not take offense at these selections of mine.

The Room of Terror
Robin and Cyborg led Jinx and Beast Boy down the hall to the changeling's room. Starfire and Raven bid the boys good-night and split off down another corridor.
"Okay" Robin turned to Jinx. "We are going to keep you here with us until the spell can be taken care of. So here are a few rules. One: You can't use your powers; Two: You are not allowed to roam the Tower after dark; Three: You are to leave the Tower; and Four: You are not allowed any communications to outside the Tower."
Jinx nodded coolly. "Anything else?" she asked.
"That's about it for now. But here's a fair warning, if you break any rules you will have to suffer the consequences." The Titan leader paused for effect. "And Beast Boy will be allowed to choose your punishment."
Jinx's eyes darted over to Beast Boy, and saw him grin and his ears perk at Robin's words. Her heart sped up a few beats.
Robin looked at the shapeshifter. "But you will check in with someone else before applying the punishment." The ears drooped back down.
Cyborg spoke to Beast Boy as Robin laid a few more rules down for jinx. "Treat her like you would a guest." His friend responded with a low growl of obvious dislike. "Good enough."
Cyborg and Robin started up the hall to their own rooms, but Cyborg stopped and turned back to say a few last words.
"Have a nice night Beast Boy" he said grinning, before turning into his bedroom.
"Have a nice night" Beast Boy mimicked, glaring after his friend. "As if." Then he opened the door, and jinx got her first glance at where she would be living until the two got un-spelled.
"You've got to be kidding!" she gasped as she stared in at the mess of clothes, trash, and old pizza crusts.
Beast Boy stood just in the doorway of the sorry excuse for a room. He breathed in a large breath with his arms spread wide out. "Home sweet home!" he sighed.
Jinx walked into the room, staring around in shock. "Oh my God!"
Beast Boy decided to speak. "Cyborg has told me to be nice, but don't be expecting room-service."
"Where's your bathroom?" the witch asked after a deep, calming breath. He pointed over to a bright blue door. Jinx crossed her arms as she inspected the door. His room is bad enough, do I really want to see his bathroom? She considered it, and decided she'd chance it to have a shower.
"Who showers first?" Jinx asked Beast Boy.
"Ladies first" he answered, his voice dripping with saucy sarcasm. She shrugged and entered.
The bathroom wasn't as bad as jinx had thought before. Either he can actually clean, or he doesn't—she didn't even want to think THAT particular thought.
She turned on the shower, undressed, and hopped in. Ten minutes later, as Jinx was drying off, she noticed she no night-clothes. Or any clothes for that matter. Not good.
Just then there came a rap at the door. "Are you done yet?" called Beast Boy. "I need to shower to you know!"
"Uh", Jinx quickly tugged on the dirty dress. "Just a minute." She heard him grumbling from the other side of the door.
"Just a minute could turn into an hour. What is she doing in there? Primping?" Jinx walked out.
"'Bout time, what—"
She interrupted him. "I don't have any clean clothes."
He just looked at her. "What do you want me to do about it?"
"Is there…do you have…" the pink girl trailed off.
Her green roommate looked up at the ceiling. "Why me?"
Beast Boy began rummaging through his closet. Jinx saw many purple-and-black bodysuits, hanging up or mixing with the junk on the floor. Finally he threw a pair of black sweatpants and a large forest green T-shirt at her.
"There, good enough?" Jinx looked down at the clothes in her arms, then back up at him. She grimaced.
"Well, what were you expecting?" he scoffed. "Silk and lace?" and with that Beast Boy grabbed some clothes off the dresser and headed into the bathroom. Soon the sound of running water was apparent.
Jinx saw that the black ribbon was stuck between the door and the doorjamb, like a normal piece of rope and not a magical torture device.
"Oh well", and sighing Jinx dressed for bed.
Once she was dressed, she cleared off the bed. Imagine all the stuff UNDER it, Jinx shuddered at the very thought. The ribbon pulled slightly taunt. She leaned against the wall to wait for her roommate. He soon came out, green hair dripping.
They peered over at the bed.
"Only one bed" said Jinx.
"My bed" Beast Boy reminded her.
"I'm the guest though" she cheekily reminded him.
"We'll flip for it" the witch offered.
"If I didn't know you were a criminal I'd say 'Fair enough'" the changeling retorted. "Heads", he claimed.
"Got a quarter?" Beast Boy rummaged through the pockets of his uniform. He pulled out a dirty, banged up quarter triumphantly. He flipped it.
The coin managed to find a bare spot on the desk to land on. It spun around and around, with pink and green eyes each moving after it intently. For this simple thing held their future, literally. Around and around the quarter spun, and then…
…stopped standing straight up! The roommates stared at it for a few minutes, just marveling at the absurdity of what had just happened. And then they looked at each other, the bed, and then back at each other.
"That is not possible" Jinx said as she glared at the visibly harmless coin.
"Apparently", Beast boy countered as he crawled into bed and yawned, "Apparently it is. I'm gonna hit the sack now." And with that he rolled away from her to the opposite side and soon was sound asleep.
At least he doesn't snore, Jinx thought as she got in the twin bed on the side facing the door. Then she too joined her roommate in slumber (though that is not literally, jinx did NOT have a dream with BB in it).

There you are; the lovely chapter of sleep. I think I chose the right title for this chapter, don't you?
