Noisy neighbour up talking ALL night, keeping me awake.

My neighbour, the woman upstairs, kept talking to a man (her boyfriend?) all night. I could hear his voice more than hers, and it was loud. They were arguing from 6pm until 5am in the morning. Some of it sounded quite disturbing. I get stressed when I hear arguments because I feel the conflict. I feel angry. She might be nocturnal but I need my sleep, and due to my anxiety, I need it even more. Without sleep, my anxiety goes through the roof. First there were noisy students outside my flat (I live near a Uni), then, after they disappeared at 1am, all I could hear was the arguing. I have heard this man before, and initially thought the noise was coming from outside the flat, right outside my window. But it actually comes from upstairs. I am extra sensitive to background noise when I am trying to sleep (I can't block it out), and I just feel b***** angry and upset.

  • Anyone got any advice? I feel livid. How dare they!. I am going to have to cancel a work commitment because I feel like *** - no sleep, have a headache, feel tearful, and my anxiety levels are high. Constant noise, talking, a deep male voice. He does not live upstairs, so I presume he is her boyfriend.

    I can't block out background noise when I sleep. I am a light sleeper, and am awakened just by someone coughing. What can I do? I grew up in a quiet area so am not used to constant night-time noise, which, in truth, no-one should have to put up with. I HATE it. Sorry, but am having to vent my frustrations. I actually feel visceral anger towards the man upstairs, for it is he who has destroyed my beauty sleep, and wrecked my day to boot. I am a good neighbour. I am quiet at night and hit the pillow at 11pm. If my Dad stays over, I ensure we don't speak aftter 11pm - good neighbourly conduct. I obey the rules, why can't they?
