If you have trouble with noise try getting a white noise machine to drown out the other noises. I have upstairs neighbors and my bedroom is attached to the kitchen here, so there's often quite a bit of noise. The white noise machine has helped a lot for me.

I didn't like it at first but got used to it eventually

My living arrangements vary. If there is noise, I wake up and then go back to sleep. If it keeps repeating, I gradually get used to it and it doesn't wake me anymore.

I surely sometimes have to get up when I don't want to, it just happens less often than it used to, every couple days or weeks rather than every morning.

Thanks for answering. One more question, how about eating? Do you allow for some time before sleeping, as a rule?

I try to not eat for an hour or two before bed, but it doesn't often work out that way. In many places, I have food available to me around the clock in nearly unlimited quantities, which I also think is not natural and potentially harmful, but them's the breaks.

When I wake up, I usually don't eat for several hours, nor do I have any desire to, as my digestive system is still "booting up". I have heard countless times from various wise beings that drinking a glass of clean water after waking up is very beneficial, so I do that. Sometimes it is yesterday's tea, though.

My ideal eating technique is once a day, and then maybe a few light snacks here and there. It's to avoid processed food, meaning anything which I didn't see its original form of and wasn't prepared by someone I know, whether it is grinding up or mixing, and to avoid things with multiple ingredients.

However, because I co-exist with others who are not as far along as me, I stray from this quite a bit. I partially alleviate it with occasional water fasting to give myself a chance to clear out the junk.

(When I say "natural", it's shorthand for "how our life was for millions of years and what evolution tuned our bodies for".)

I want to add: if tired enough, noise doesn't matter. I've slept on subway platforms with trains going past a few meters away, and tight enough to not notice my shit get stolen ))
