I’ve been known to be a tad paranoid; so I don’t like wearing ear plugs just in case someone breaks into my home or the fire alarm goes off & I can’t hear either until it’s too late!!!
I had four 20 y/o move in next door. They love throwing loud parties. I remember being 20 & my way around it was to invite my neighbors so they were part of the noise makers & not trying to sleep. Well at 68, I do NOT want to attend one of their parties. So, I had a conversation with the most level headed of the 4 living there.
I asked her to text me & warn me when they were planning a party so I could plan to stay awake all night. First party, I cleaned my house all night & by the time I was so tired I couldn’t hold my eyes open any longer & had to go to bed, all the partiers were getting in their car & heading home to crash!!!
Party #2, I went to a social site & chatted all night with friends & once again when I grew so tired I couldn’t stand it, I fell asleep in my recliner on the opposite end of the house from the party. When I awoke & headed for bed, the party was long over with & I had a really peaceful night for the rest of my night!!! This works well for me mainly because I’m a night person at heart. They’ve been having their parties for 3 years now & they’ve NEVER interrupted my sleep & I’ve NEVER called the cops on them!!!
