Today, I was called an "inconsiderate scum bucket" by my neighbor because I allowed my loud alarm to go on too long before silencing it. The only reason that I sleep through my alarm is because I have to wear earplugs, as they have their TV on maximum volume until 4am. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I have to wear earplugs in my own apartment because my neighbor won't turn down his music. My landlord doesn't believe me because "people with disabilities can't be rude." FML
Today, I was awoken at 3am by hotel management to tell me they received complaints about me from every room within 30 yards of mine, including from the floors above and below me. What was my crime? Snoring loud enough to rattle windows on the other side of the building. FML
Today, I bought noise-canceling headphones because my neighbors are loud. The first night I wore them, I completely missed the sound of my smoke alarm battery dying. Instead of hearing a faint beep every minute, I woke up to six missed calls from my roommate asking why I wasn't answering. FML
Today, my neighbor yelled “Fuck you!” at me through his window. My crime? Closing my front door “too loud.” This man lets his children beat on the walls and slam doors but apparently I’m the problem. FML
Today, my roommate's extremely loud and obnoxious alarm went off six times, waking me up each time, before she finally gave up on hitting the snooze button and went back to sleep for good. FML
Today, my neighbours had an extremely loud party, which began at midnight and didn't end until 6. I know this because I had a 15 minute sleep, seeing as I had to wake up at quarter past. FML
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
Today, my neighbor yelled at me because, according to him, the sound of me scraping the ice off my windshield wakes him up every morning. This is the same neighbor who ran over my mailbox last week because there was too much snow on his windows to see properly. FML
Today, I slept through my alarm because it was drowned out by humming. My humming, in my sleep. Even my body is against me waking up on time. FML
Today, my roommate set her extremely loud alarm clock for 5am and continued to hit the snooze button every ten minutes until 7:30. FML

Rock and Roll ain't noise pollution

As awesome as rock music is, it's still noise pollution if you're keeping all the neighbours awake.

Fight fire with fire. Set up alarms in hidden locations and tell then this will continue till they lower their tv. When it comes to sleep disturbance it's an all out war

No. Fight fire with water. Water-type moves are super effective!

Now you've given them an incentive to turn down the volume. Rational Choice theory predicts it is likely they will change their behaviour. In real life, a heated argument seems more probable. Still, try striking a deal.

Set your phone's alarm to vibrate and stick it in your sock before you sleep. I've been doing this for a good six months or so and it hasn't failed me once. But you can set your normal alarm to go off a few minutes after the cell phone and use that as a backup if you're not comfortable with it.

I'd set two or three more alarm to go off after I leave, just to **** with them some more.

I see a couple of options here: 1) Explain to your neighbors how their TV keeps you up and try to work things out with them civilly. 2) Dont be civil and give back what your neighbors dosed out to you 3) Buy some extra alarm clocks so that there's no way you can sleep through them 4) Tell the management/authorities about the situation: as a tenant/owner you have rights just as much as your neighbor does. In my opinion loud music/TV till 4 AM is ridiculous, but an alarm clock to wake you up is justifiable . . And if the TV is so loud you can hear it, and your alarm is so loud it wakes them up, it sounds like to me that there's an insulation/sound-proof problem in the first place. But regardless of what you choose to do, FYL OP!

Wow! You let your alarm clock ring continuously, so much so that it wakes up the neighbours?! You inconsiderate cum bucket!

This is when you burn their house down over their tv. If they caught you, claim you are sleep-depraved and you're are semi-insane. They'll let you off the hook. Enjoy, don't forget the gasoline...

Just talk to them about it or call the cops. If that doesn't work, get a louder alarm clock! If they rent the place, call the landlord, too.
