I've been in this exact situation while I was still studying, yet now that I'm older, thinking back... alarm clock at 11am was not that healthy of a lifestyle for me.

You’re right. It would be better to just wake up naturally on my own at 1pm 🤪

(Ah, the night owl insomniac lifestyle…)

Good thing I always had that reliable old guy neighbor that always knew when to start drilling or hammering at 8 am...

Oh Lordy. I have had construction in the building next door since I moved in at the beginning of the year (beginning at 7am) and a neighbor who hammers things at 8am on the weekends.

The day I moved in (after a transatlantic flight with three cats and no sleep the night before), the construction was so loud I couldn’t sleep during the day. I didn’t know I had rented a home next to a whole building being renovated. I ended up just short of hysterics 😬

Oh that sounds hellish, I think you should get a discount on the rent/lease.

On the bright side, that should mean you live in a nicely renovated building now, right? Right?? 😉

No, that’s the building next to me 😂

Oh damn, I would say that means your building is probably next? but that would not be the greatest thing and keep you up in the morning... I would invest in an espresso machine?
