[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sure they know that you are a light sleeper - so long as they are trying, I would put up with this for a summer. You may get more used to it. Find a solution for YOU because things like thunderstorms also happen in the summer. Heaven help you if your spouse coughs in bed! The most fun things happen after midnight imho. I’m in my 50s, doing the whole meno and hot flash and bad sleeping thing and I have no expectations that my college grad live like an 8th grader.[/quote] As a fellow 50ish woman with older teenagers who is having a hard time sleeping, this is where I am. My kids are considerate and do try to be quiet when they come home late; for example, we have a basement bathroom, and we ask them to shower and get ready for bed down there when they are late so there’s less noise on the sleeping level. But sometimes I do hear them and wake up, and it sucks! But also, sometimes my spouse wakes me going to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and sometimes outside noise wakes me—both of these things much more often than my kids. [/quote]
