I live in an old house subdivided into with poor sound insulation.
The chap upstairs from me (aka Bigfoot) has recently taken to rising at 5:30am to get ready for work. I am awoken when he jumps out of bed and starts walking around the creaky floorboards. He pads around for ages making more noise, and then runs down the stairs which back onto my bedroom.
I can then not get back to sleep.
Do you think such a complaint is one that could be dealt with by my council's environmental health department? Or should I learn to live with it and deprive myself of sleep. It is quite detrimental to my current role where I am trying to learn new skills, as I am exhausted by 2:30pm.
I don't wish to move as I am five minutes walk from the city centre and 30 seconds walk to the park. It's a nice house with some interesting historical connections.
