Some of you may recall this thread where I complained about the chopper outside my window.
Recap:
- My apartment has no A/C
- I sleep with the windows open and windowfan running
- I live on the 8th floor of my building
- There is a helipad outside my window (across the street but about level with my window.)
So the helicopters taking off and landing have become a nuisance, but apparently that wasn't enough to keep me awake. Let's ADD to the mix:
- Ambulances with sirens WAILING arriving at the same hospital
- Industrial waste management trucks with lift thingies picking up the 5 ton trash bins and SLAMMING them back down on the concrete, BEEPING as they back up to pick up the next one.
- Construction vehicles coming and going at odd hours of the night/morning
But the WORST offender over the past week??
- JACKHAMMERS!!!
- WRECKING BALL CREW!!!
- DEMOLITION TEAM!!!
They are tearing down the old grocery store that shares a parking lot with my apartment building (yes I'm right next door.) I wish they would get it done within a day, but its taken 4-5 days so far and its STILL not down yet--not to mention the cleanup noise and tearing up the parking lot with jackhammers!!! These idiots start at 5am EVERY DAY!!!
I am Jack's complete lack of SLEEP! 🙁 This has started to affect my performance at work. I'm yawning during meetings, nodding off when being talked to, slumping over at my desk. All amounts of caffeine do not work. I think if I don't get a good night's sleep soon, I'll go crazy. I try going to bed early but then its too hot (we've been averaging 90+ everyday and my room is still 80ish at 11:00) and I can never fall asleep before 2am or 3am. I've had maybe 6 good hours of sleep this whole week! ARRGHH!!
