Today, just like every other day, I was woken up 2 hours earlier than I needed to be, by the alarm belonging to my upstairs neighbors. They won't wake up until their real alarm goes off: me, pounding the walls and yelling in frustration. FML

Wait till they leave and then sneak in their apartment and put a walkie talkie user their bed. At 3am start yelling MEEEP MEEEP

File a complaint with the landlord or building manager? They are there for these kinds of things.

Shit, destroy it with a predator drone missile.

Try wax earplugs. After a few days of oversleeping they'll probably adjust their waking up strategy. That does make your own alarm a minor problem, but a phone on vibrate under the pillow works pretty well in that respect.

I wear foam earplugs to bed, they work wonders, and I still wake up to my alarm- ahem- alarms.

Whoo... For a second I was scared you were talking about my husband whenever I'm not home to violently elbow him awake (in a loving kinda way...) your life definitely sucks!

Then don't pound on the walls and yell in frustration, maybe if you don't do that their real alarm, you, won't go "on", so therefore they don't wake up ;)

The term for an alarm is "going off", don't try to correct it.

I was trying to correct it. I put the quotations referring to OP acting like the alarm clock, therefore going off, like you corrected. No need to attack me.

..how can you bang on their walls if they're above you.?

Invest in ear plugs and a vibrating alarm. My I phone does the trick when I don't want to wake up my spouse.

Wait till they go on a two week overseas holiday, forgetting to turn off the alarm that is set for 3:20am on their day of departure. The alarm that goes off constantly for 12 hours before resetting itself for the next morning. The alarm that is on the battery powered clock that isn't affected by you pulling out the fuses to their apartment. The alarm that, after 9 freaking days, mysteriously starts to attract raw shellfish under their front door, shellfish that gradually accumulate into a stinking fly-blown heap over the next five days. Luckily I got over it. *violent eye twitch*

To deal with this problem: rent large concert speakers, when they try to go to sleep at night, play death metal music! Turn those speakers way, way up!
