How to deal with a rude roommate in a bad living situation?

I'm doing my best to get out, but won't be able to until March.In the meantime, how do I deal with this?

I'm living in an illegal sublet. When I moved in, I was told I would have my own bedroom, but within a few days of moving in the woman I am renting from began parading other potential renters through my room without telling me. A new girl moved in, without any warning or heads up from from the landlady, and has been nothing but hostile to me since then. She was nasty to me because I was taking up too much space in the closet, she talks about me over the phone to her friends as though I am not in the room. And in the mornings, she wakes up at 6 am and slams things around the room, slams the doors, and, when asked to please stop because I don't have to be up for another two hours, she either does not respond to me or tells me she IS being quiet. The worst part is that she does not go anywhere after this is complete. She appears to be unemployed, and sits in the corner on her ipad until I go to work, and is there again in the evening when I come home. I have never seen her wear anything but her bathrobe. Every time I have tried to talk to her about it or other issues, she rolls her eyes at me and either goes back to her ipad or walks away.

How do I deal with her, at least for the rest of the month? Because I am losing my patience with the whole situation and my landlady has made it clear that she is in this for the money and does not care if we're happy or healthy or well rested, as long as we're crammed in like sardines and paying rent on time.
Added (1). If you actually read my post you would know that I HAVE asked her to stop. Repeatedly.
