Asking Roommate to switch rooms?

So my roommate and I don’t really talk to each other in the room, just a short “hi” and “bye” when we enter and leave. Normally, this would be fine with me if it’s not for the problem that she’s also an EXTREMELY light sleeper and goes to bed at 11pm/12am. As a computer science major I do a lot of work on my PC and apparently even the sound of my keyboard can keep her awake. Since I’m a night owl, I tend to stay up extremely late and I can tell she’s starting to get annoyed by it.

I have a friend in the same dorm who is very much a late sleeper like me, and she also has a roommate who goes to sleep early. I feel like it would work out for the best if my roommate switches rooms with my friend, but I’m also not sure how to bring this up without offending her. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
