Can you move your bed to the opposite wall?

If you can hear a phone vibrating that bad I dread to think what happens when neighbours have some personal time

Have you tried asking him to turn off the vibration?

Batteries never last that long anyway :rotfl:

Have you tried a few orgasmic 'When Harry met Sally' moments at midnight?

I just want to be able to sleep like a normal person in the house I've lived in for over 25 years.

What if anything can be done in this situation? We rent from the Council, theirs is a private let.

The most realistic solution is probably that you change the room in which you sleep.


After 25 years your sleeping patterns may have changed, like many people's do as they age. As a younger person you might not have woken to full consciousness with the same level of sound stimuli at that time of the morning. Now, especially because you are sensitised to it, you wake and reinforce that sensitivity through anger.

Consider this though; if you were an average older man, you'd probably not get past 4am anyway without the need to wake sufficiently for a trip to the bathroom. That might irk you, but you'd only have your bladder to blame, so you'd adapt and cope with the situation, going back to sleep most times without difficulty.

Anyway, consider yourself lucky it's only a mobile, because there are louder devices, some of them essential for the deep sleeper. As a young single man, I was often in trouble at work for failing to wake to my alarm; a problem I eventually solved by wiring a hoover on the other side of the room into a time switch. That worked!
