Most Embarrassing Problem For Me!

[Anonymous]

I think you're just looking for a problem. You've conditioned yourself to see this as an unpleasant thing, and your own reaction to it is causing most of your stress (you dread your own bed because this might happen). If you're tired enough, you'll sleep. Get a decent white noise machine, and noise-cancelling sleep headphones. Get soundproofing tiles for your ceiling (https://zensoundproof.com/best-soundproof-ceiling-tiles-and-panels/). And then accept that you live in a shared space and you need to MYOB about parents managing to get it on while raising kids. They're not throwing orgies. This is routine noise for couples, and you're simply going to have to find a way to deal with it.

Control the thing you can control: you. Next time they wake you, "join" them. That sound means sexy times, so enjoy yourself. You'll probably be less uptight.

Agree: normal for parents with kids. You do it when and where you can. OP needs to ignore it.

If a neighbor is routinely disturbing your sleep and you are being woken up during the early morning hours then how is this your fault?
Smh at some of the responses on here.
Anyway I would document the early hours it is occurring by recording it on your cellphone.
Then I would speak to the leasing office and make a formal complaint.
It is their duty to then speak to your neighbors and inform them that they need to be more considerate regarding noise from now on.
Trust me, your landlords have dealt with this issue in the past and will be able to handle things in the proper fashion.

Move to a top floor unit.

Next time they wake you up knock on the door and ask if they need help with moving the furniture since it sounds like something has gone wrong. Keep doing that. Hopefully they will have some shame and adapt.

This is what happens when you live on a bottom apt in what I'm guessing is an old and outdated building. Personally, I think you're being ridiculous.

I wouldn’t be too happy if I was awakened even once during the night.
I need a good nights sleep to function properly in my job and if I am awakened the night previously then I will be grumpy and distracted.

If you're that sensitive, then you need to live somewhere where there isn't a chance of noises. What would happen if you lived on a bottom apartment and your upstairs neighbor worked in the ED on a 3p-3a shift and you heard them come home and walk around upstairs at 330am? Demand they switch their hours? No. When you're that sensitive you don't live in an old building with terrible sound proofing.

This. Apartment is a misnomer. You're rarely that far apart. You basically have roommates. If you need silence, you need to move to a SFH or a cabin in the woods where you'll have actual privacy.

I have a strategy to solve this, OP:

Next time they wake you this way, just pull up any p*rn video and gradually turn up the volume (use Bluetooth speakers). Keep making it louder and louder. Make sure you play it loud enough and long enough that you wake up ALL the neighbors, not just the upstairs ones.

When you next see your other neighbors in the apartment, just say: “did you hear so and so upstairs last night?!?! They are SO LOUD! Someone should really talk to them!”

Problem solved.

Definitely call management.

It is their responsibility to make sure that all residents can live in peace - especially after hours when most people are asleep.
