We live in an apartment facing the street. Our complex has about 150 units. The neighbor in question has a Honda Civic with a car alarm which goes off at virtually any tremor. We live downtown so there is loud motorcycles and cars at all hours using our street and this sets off the Honda's car alarm. The Honda never moves off the street. In our city if you have a handicap permit you do not have to feed the meter or move it from the street and the Honda seldom gets moved. The neighbor with the Honda lives in an inner unit so they are shielded from their own car alarm. People have complained to the owner who appears pretty belligerent and unwilling to do anything about it as this has been going on for years. I think the owner believes the world owes them something. It is torture for us neighbors. Apartment staff is uninterested in intervening given it is technically off their property. Almost 5 nights a week I am waking up in the middle of the night to the alarm going off on the street below. It is loud because we are only a few stories tall so the car must be 50 feet away. One obnoxious car with a loud stereo, or aftermarket muffler, sets off a alarm which seems to go on forever. As if the annoyance of the car which set it off was annoying, add in the 2 minute alarm to rub salt on the wound. Sometimes their is a chain reaction, and you get two or three alarms going off from different cars. The only time she moves her Honda is when she goes to church on Sunday. I am a Christian and ask myself every Sunday, how the owner rationalizes not helping her fellow neighbors out. I do not get the rationale of using the alarm for safety sake. It is configured to be too sensitive. It goes off for too long at a time. No one is going to come and stop a thief ransacking her car especially after how she is not trying to win favor with anybody. All I can think of it to start recording the dates and times of the alarm and suing her in small claims. I do not think I can win such a case however. If anyone can speak that inquiry please let me know. If you are a mechanic or have experience with car alarms let me know, maybe I can convince her to adjust the sensitivity of the alarm if that is possible and if that is something anyone can do or if we have to have a technician adjust it.

Thanks

Either for remorse or defective reasons.

I know a friend who dates seemingly wholesome women. After a couple of dates, the women initiate sex and they do it. Next thing you know the women is ghosting him. Maybe it never gets to sex. It is confidence and self-esteem damaging. This happens to him far too many times to be coincidental. He is looking inside himself to find where he is making mistakes but he should not eliminate the possibility there is people out there who claim to want a relationship, and are on forums like this stating as much that men/women only want sex, or are not interested and they themselves cry that they are unique and want the relationship yet here we are. Both sides are not realistic. What is the solution for this?!

I already asked for enforcement by my local PD via email. They placed a speed meter on the street. But I did not say they were speeding so it probably accomplished nothing and the cars are still doing it. My plan is to ask law enforcement to act as a peace maker while I go to the suspect(s) front door and tell them to stop operating the vehicle in its condition. Maybe the cop will see the expired tags and/or hear the ear bleeding muffler which is almost certainly illegal.

As my title stated this my typical sleep pattern. I do not smoke or drink. I am under 50. Maybe worry or noise wakes me up but it is not significant enough to disturb others. Either way I cannot go back to sleep all the while knowing if I do not go back to sleep I will feel tired later that day.

I go to bed at 10PM and get up around 2:30AM most days. I seldom use my phone in bed and for the most part follow proper sleep hygiene happens (going to bed at the same time, dark room, white noise, no caffeine after 10am. Eating habits are good. I want to speak with a doctor again about insomnia but previously they told me don't worry about it unless I get less than 4 hours. I think that is wrong.

Does my typical sleep pattern happen to anyone else and how do you cope?

I have ADHD but I also have a lot of books. When I am not acquiring books to own I sometimes visit the library and rapidly task switch. It manifests itself as thinking of a topic, looking it up, making a record or mental note of an attribute, then task switching again. Repeat. It is annoying because nothing gets accomplished. Meanwhile I own books but I have gotten better and just use the library now. But still have the overwhelming need to collect these ideas or experiences of finding a book. There is this rush when in the action of information hoarding.
