I was up early, as we have company, and my DH drove today into the hurricane to get to a meeting!

Wow, I’d be nervous about someone driving thru the rain
I can never sleep until we’re all safely in the house. My S was with friends and is finally heading home, and my H went to sleep hours ago. On the positive side, I shouldn’t wake up at 4am like usual.
I was not happy, but he was going to do what he was going to do.
Omg, such a horrible day. Can’t sleep. Stressed for kids. Took a Benadryl and now just have a dry mouth. And still can’t sleep.

Reporting for duty 
New problem, not good for an insomniac or anyone else. I moved into a new apartment and there are hours of yelling, sobbing, threats and probably violence going on above me. This is in a nice little coastal town in MA. It happens a lot, like 2 nights a week, even 3. I talked with the tenant and it continued, so I told the landlord yesterday. I also gave my notice and had to pay $5k+ to break the lease. Landlord was going to have police talk to them.
After all that, yelling and sobbing woke me up at 2:30 am. No amount of melatonin or pre-bed Reiki or reading is going to help with this. I am exhausted,
Now I am wondering if I should have paid to break the lease. I am going to try to get it back.

That should qualify as a noice complaint or maybe uninhabitable space, but unless the landlord knew and rented to you anyway, probably little would work to get your $ back.
I was up twice this morning (2:30 and 5:15) but didn’t post.
Compmom, I’m so sorry you are dealing with this. Perhaps if you spoke to landlord and nothing was done, then file with police. You should not have to pay to break the lease.

I have a friend whose son had a neighbor who was harassing him. What he learned is that he was the third apartment they had moved this guy into because other neighbors complained, too, about him. I hope you can work this out. Are there other neighbors who may share your concerns?
In insomnia news, I was able to fall back asleep pretty quickly after posting above. I got genius on the Spelling Bee and went right back to sleep.

We’ve been on the road for three weeks. Am bloody tired of getting up at 3 am to catch a train or plane. Can only imagine how messed up my sleep cycle will be when we get home.

Hope you can get readjusted!!
Good news, bad news— I actually slept 8 hours last night (I rarely sleep more than 6) BUT I woke up 5X during the night as I still have lower back pain from my ski injury and I wake up every time I try to turn over.

I can never sleep when I need it most! Brunch with friends we haven’t seen for a year tomorrow morning and I just can’t fall asleep! Blah!
I tried a tylenol PM. Did t work 
I was up so late watching college football that I almost was on this thread on the front end, but I fell asleep right when it was over and then when I did wake up I went right back to sleep and stayed that way until after 9:30!

I could not get to sleep until 2, then upstairs neighbor woke me at 3 (just with activity, she seems to stay up every night) and I didn’t sleep until 4:30, woke at 7:30, so 4 hours total ugh.

I’m here this am because a)I go through terrible periods of insomnia that last for weeks or months, then resolve for no apparent reason, and b)I got my Covid and flu shots earlier today and I feel so crappy I can’t sleep.
I usually feel “out of sorts” after a Covid shot, but this time I am running a low grade fever. Every time I throw the covers off, I start shivering, but within minutes of putting the covers back up, I’m burning up. Finally gave up in the interest of not waking DH with my tossing and turning.
I hope the reason I’m the only one on the thread right now is that all of you are actually enjoying some bliss…
