There's some adjustment required of apartment dwellers. Most people are LOUD. Louder than you could ever imagine they would be. And inconsiderate, too.
I wonder if LW is not bracing for the noise? Or waking up at the noise and then tensing up indefinitely? I used to be bothered by my neighbors, but the truth is, I've gone from a pissed-off neighbor to being able to sleep through WWIII if needed. Ten years of renting will do that.* Renting sucks for some reasons, owning sucks for other reasons; the overlap is minimal, as far as I can tell.
I mean, LW, move if you can - but no place will ever be perfect. I hope you find some sleep...
*I rent because I move around for my job a lot; I don't have anything against the Amurikan value of homeownership
