Unfortunately, the ear plugs tend to block out enough sound that the alarm just doesn't wake me up anymore. I have to pick the lesser of two evils, I'm afraid. On the other hand, the eye mask idea is excellent! I should really look into that. Gracias! :) If I didn’t have to wake up at a set time, thus making it a requirement to hear the alarm from my cellphone when it goes off, I’d definitely go for ear plugs.

Happilly now i am past the noise issues, the neighbours here have other things to do than just drill holes in the walls. Or the walls are just thicker here. And though, even if it cannot protect you entirely from the infernal drilling noise, maybe some... of those things to put in your ears - ear plugs I think they're called- could help a lot. You should find them in any pharmacy for about a buck and a half. And if you buy an eye mask, this is just heaven on earth. Even if something wakes you up, not seeing the daylight is good enough to keep you in that sleeping mode. I am getting sleepy right now, just thinking about this.

At least the fucking children aren't bothering me. Well, me, I’m pretty sure the C4 is the right choice :P

The perfect storm: late night schedule plus CONSTANT construction plus those infernal school bells plus the unending cacophony of school children. A late schedule is a burden to carry. Construction noise is horrendous and maddening. But when I lived next to that damned school the way you do, I could never decided whether it was best to slit my own wrists to end the pain or if the whole neighborhood around me should crumble to bits in a C4 rage so as to show them all... show them all... what they were doing to me. Oh ho ho... I do NOT envy you, sir. Continue with yoga exercises and read the works of Ghandi, my friends. Oh, yes, YES!
