Stressed, worried that neighbour will be noisy again

The neighbour was really noisy last night (see other thread). I am worried there will be a repeat, and it is making me stressed, as if I were not stressed enough.

How can I reassure myself? The thing is, that uncontrollable noise makes me stressed. If I can control the noise, it is fine. If I know when it will start and finish, it is bearable. But if it can't be controlled, or it occurs at  an unacceptable  time, I get stressed.

  • My neighbours fight at night -violently. It wakes me and my son but also their own small child who screams, understandably. I find it really unsettling and upsetting, it "messes with my head" - just horrible. I'm partially deaf but this doesn't help - it's the whole confrontation/fighting thing which bothers me. And the fact that they are the first to complain if we disturb them. Everyone's noisey sometimes, I'm guilty of the occasional late night row/music and I have two vocal dogs but week in week out fighting is a little too much
