2 months of morning construction noise, any tips?

My building is doing insanely loud concrete work every weekday for the next 2 months. It starts at 8:30am. It’s only been going on for a week so far but im already getting the constant headache and brain fog of waking up 1.5 hours before I normally do, and being awakened by drill sounds especially lol. My normal schedule is 2am-10am, im a PhD student so I am blessed to be able to sleep until 10 whenever I need to, but (as you all understand ofc) I cannot get myself asleep any earlier.

My earplugs (loops) do absolutely nothing for it because it’s vibration and sound. Has anyone succeeded in sleeping in these conditions? I wake up immediately at 8:30 when they start and I lie in bed trying to sleep for at least another hour but I haven’t been able to at all. I am totally miserable and feel so angry and I don’t like how much rage I feel towards the whole situation

Is this sunburn?

I keep the plant in a bay window so it gets north and east exposure, so not all day sun, but it does then get a few hours of west sun in the evening since the window has sun in all directions but south. I turn it somewhat regularly but the brown spots have just recently appeared on this leaf. Is it a sign I should move it?

I also have sometimes kept the window open which would have it get hit with wind/cold air which could also be an issue.
