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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, and for 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, my new neighbours moved in. I've neither seen nor spoken to them yet; all I know is that they enjoy hammering at the walls for hours on end and repeatedly setting off the fire alarm. All this in the small hours of the morning. I got two hours of sleep. FML
Today, it's the third day I've been at home recuperating from ear surgery. My surgery was on the same day my neighbor started renovating. There's been hours of jack-hammering every day I've been home. FML
Today, like every other day since I moved into this apartment a year ago, the construction crew started their noisy work at 5:30 in the morning. When I moved in I was promised it was a quiet neighborhood; only offices. What have they been building in the meantime? Three nightclubs. 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, after months of peace and quiet since January, a new family moved into the apartment below me ten minutes before I was about to go to sleep. They've been here for 30 minutes and already they're stomping and banging doors all over the place. FML
Today, like every day since the new neighbors moved into the townhouse next door, their newborn won’t stop crying. The room the two toddlers and newborn are in apparently shares a wall with my bedroom, so I hear crying while I work remote, study remote, and try to sleep. FML
Today, my new neighbours moved in. I had always thought my bedroom wall was soundproof, because my old neighbours never complained about my loud night terrors. Turns out they were just stone deaf. The new ones can hear everything. FML
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, it's the second week into my new neighbors' routine. He works nights, she works days. He likes to blast out Slayer and Napalm Death all day, she likes to drunkenly sing out of tune to Adele all night. I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Book yourself a hotel room for a day or two so you can at least get a little sleep.

Try talking to them and see if they can renovate a different area of their abode for the time being. If not, stay somewhere else (hotel, friend's house, etc.) for a few days until then.

Maybe you can talk to them about it, OP.

Hopefully you can explain to them what shift you work and what days. They might work around your sleeping schedule.

Suck it up, I work 14hrs every day and I have a sleeping disorder that makes me wake up every 20-30min when I sleep.

19 - how about you suck it up
the_other_one_ 4
I do suck it up. That's what I'm telling OP to suck it up for.

Just because someone might have it worse than another, doesn't make the 'lesser' problem invalid.

52 - no your not sucking it up, your complaining

I'm not complaining, I'm using myself as an example, you dumb piece of shit.

79 no need to curse.

79 - making yourself look like an ass will completely discredit your point youre trying to make, so ha.

@79 just because you're grumpy from not enough sleep doesn't mean you get to take it out on others. Now go to your room and take a nappy . I know my little nephew gets truly when he doesn't sleep too.

You neighbors' timing is impeccable

This might be the time for some "constructive" criticism.

Break the windows on the other side of their house so they'll have to fix those first and allow you some sleep!

Not really, just vandalism.

Who says a little vandalism can't work? Good ol' vandalism.
