Today, it's my first day-off for the holidays. Today is also the day they decided to start building a house next to mine. I can't sleep beyond 7 am. FML

Today, it's been three days since I started working 12-hour night shifts. My neighbors have now decided to renovate their house. They're focusing on the rooms sharing my wall. FML

Noise cancelling anyone?

Today, just like every workday for the last 6 months, the construction workers in my building made loud noises in the morning and woke me up almost 2 hours before I would otherwise have to get up. This will continue for one more year. I'm not a morning person, and I live in a protected historical building. FML

Today, I learned from the noise outside my window that construction workers start their days at 5 AM. FML

Today, and the 4 months preceding it, my neighbors had been remodeling their house, which meant jackhammer noises every morning. The one day they take a break, my other neighbor decides to start a remodeling project. It'll only be two more months of this. FML

Today, it's the first day in 3 weeks that I'm in my flat after 7 a.m. due to a very busy work schedule. I was looking forward to a Saturday lie-in. Also today, my flatmate's alarm clock went off loudly from 7:30 to 10:30. He's in another country and his door is locked. Bye bye lie-in. FML

Today, I took my first day off in 3 weeks just so I can sleep in. The office secretary woke me up at 7.12 am with a page wishing me a nice day off. FML

Today, and for the past two weeks, the people living directly above me have decided to add rearranging their furniture to their daily routines. Not only that but apparently, 6 a.m. is the most optimal time for them. FML

Today, I sleep during the day because I work nights. My neighbors have a very loud wedding and reception in their backyard including a live mariachi band. FML

FYL. I know how you feel. The first day of summer vacation (after months of barely getting more than 6 hours of sleep a night), my neighbors started working on their garage.. which was right next to my window. Earplugs, music, etc. did not work to block out the sound. Hope they hurry up as fast as they can. It sucks to wake up early on the few days that you would otherwise be able to sleep in.

Get some ear-plugs and teach yourself to sleep while ignoring all the sounds around you. It's really not that hard. Leave the TV on at night when you go to bed. That should help you get used to it.

There is something you can actually do about that if your country has reg's, bribe the construction/building firm with something you want.. like cable tv
