Today, I was trying to get a good night's sleep before the huge exam tomorrow, which I'm extremely anxious about. The SAME night my neighbor below me is having a home birth. It lasted NINE HOURS. FML

Today, after studying for an exam, I decided to take a short nap. Just then, our neighbors, who were a couple, argued like crazy about some dumb thing the guy did. I didn't get to rest at all. FML

Today, as a lifelong insomnia sufferer, I was having an awful night. After tossing and turning in my bed for several hours, I decided to try sleeping on the couch. Not only did I finally fall asleep, I was having one of the best dreams of my life… Until my neighbor’s brat had a tantrum at 6 a.m. FML

Today, after two hours, I finally got my very cranky, sick baby to fall asleep. Five minutes later, a neighbor started shooting off fireworks. FML

Today, my neighbours had an extremely loud party, which began at midnight and didn't end until 6. I know this because I had a 15 minute sleep, seeing as I had to wake up at quarter past. FML

Away with the fairies

Today, I stayed up all night to study for my anatomy final at 9 a.m. I studied outside the testing room in the hall all night. Apparently, I fell asleep with my headphones on, as my friend woke me up after walking out of the test, asking how I did. 300 classmates walked by and no one woke me up. FML

Good night, sleep tight

Today, I was trying to fall asleep. Unfortunately, my next-door neighbor's baby began to cry. I closed the window and rolled over, unable to hear the crying anymore. My dog's hearing is better than mine, and so he started barking. Goodbye, good night's sleep. FML

Today, the people living below me have been blasting their music so loudly that I can hear every word as clear as day. The people next door think it's my music and feel the need to bang on the wall and blast their music just as loudly in revenge. I have two very important exams tomorrow. FML

Today, my energetic 10-month-old decided to stay up four hours past bedtime. After I FINALLY got him to sleep, I tried to go to bed. My husband is now snoring, farting and taking up my side of the bed. I desperately need some sleep. FML

Loud and long

Today, I'm stuck with sleeping in the same room as my mother. The problem? Her snores are extremely loud and a full minute long. I'm not kidding, I timed it. FML

Today, I had a Biochemistry exam. I studied all night but took a nap to get some rest because my exam was in the morning. I woke up at 10, feeling very confident. My exam was at 9. FML

Were you aware of her plans of having a home birth, and the fact that it was going to happen somewhere around this time? If so, you should've foreseen the possibility of having a very noisy night, nine hours is not uncommon. It does suck that this happened right before your exam. If your neighbour didn't inform you, that's just rude, and something you might want to talk to her about at some point when she'll have recovered from giving birth.

I'm not sure if people usually get a 24 hour notice of the precise time of giving birth. .

Were there nine people present? And does her apartment have nine doors?

Wow. Sorry that someone was going through the worst pain ever and doing something amazing. 9 hours is bloody quick. I was over 24 hours so I don't feel sorry for you in the slightest. I feel sorry for your neighbour and excited as well.

Worst pain ever? Says who? And it was her choice to do it there and in that way.

It's not like she did it at that time on purpose, OP. Probably not a very enjoyable night for her either.

Just wondering, what's the point in having home births? Isn't it more safe to be in a hospital where there are doctors to make sure that everything is going great and that the child is healthy?
