Noisy neighbour up talking ALL night, keeping me awake.

Hope

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.

  • I would call the police, you can report it and say you want to remain Anonymous. I’ve done that in the past.
    That would stop it. Hopefully.

    The other thing I do is put ear plugs in my ears the best ones I found for sleeping are the ones used for swimming they come in a pack of six. They are light blue.

    At first they feel sticky, I found if l use some hand sanitiser in my hands and roll them in it first, before putting them in my ears they’re no longer sticky. Or wash them warm soapy water first. They are very pliable and soft,  you squeeze them round and round like a sausage shape, and then put them into your ear, and press them, and they mould into the shape, just inside your ear. I can’t hardly hear anything at all, when I have them in, it’s certainly dampens noise right down.  I do still hear my calming alarm go off in the morning.
