Every sunday night since perhaps a month ago, from maybe 8pm - 2am (yes 2 am) there is a live band playing across the street with someone belting out lyrics using a microphone and amps, and drums and brass instruments and I don't know what else because I haven't gone close enough to look because I would get hearing damage. It sounds like a parade is going on outside or if you have ever been to a sports event with a live band (like a full school band), it reminds me of that sound.
I am in a "mixed zone" so apparently it is legal to do this even though it is right across from my apartment complex and no doubt at least 100 people towards the front can't sleep due to this.
I usually try to go to bed around 10pm so my choices are to lay in bed angry for 4 hours trying to not hear it -- which doesn't work at all and I just get super angry (I lasted an hour tonight before I got up) -- or get up and try to do some hobbies for amusement which doesn't work well either because I am so tired. I tried foam earplugs but the ones I have are not good for sleeping.. are very uncomfortable to lay on. In the past I have used wax earplugs sometimes, but I don't have them now and am trying to avoid expenses due to no paycheck for almost a year and a half. Either way my sleep schedule gets wrecked despite best efforts to keep it in control. It is frustrating because it is so hard for me sometimes to keep a good sleep/eat etc schedule, due to depression etc, and some stuff like this happens and just rolls over any progress I was making.
Anyway another idea would be to just adjust my schedule and get up late Sunday and stay up late and then try to recover to normal schedule during the week. However, Monday morning the maintenance crew of the apt are promptly using loud machines about 8am, which are impossible to sleep through, plus other noises. I don't think I have any control over that either.
So combined this means that every Sunday night until I move, I am screwed. Or so it seems. I don't want to move somewhere new to sign a new lease until I find a new job, if possible. Moving is expensive one way or another. I am the type of person that unless I get a full night's sleep I am basically ruined the next day, emotionally at least, and possibly mentally(thinking) as well if the shortage is severe enough. Naps or split sleep schedule don't work for me, they make me feel like crap. After thinking of various illegal things to go to do the establishment that has the band, I decided to come on here and ask for advice instead. How would you deal with this, or what have you done in similar situations?
Thanks in advance.
