Early birds need to suck it up sometimes and just deal with noise from night owls.
I think that if you are lucky enough to be a natural early bird (your circadian rhythm aligns with a standard 9-5 work day) you should allow the night owls some grace when they need to do things at night.
Your circadian rhythm is not a choice. Some people naturally go to bed late and wake up late. Delayed sleep phase disorder is a neurological condition. It causes you to sleep and wake much later than most. Many people don't believe this condition is real, or blame the person with dspd for being 'lazy"
The standard quiet hours in most apartment buildings make it challenging for night owls to get things done.
For example, no laundry past 10pm makes it impossible for me to get laundry done. I've been called entitled for not wanting to wake up early and get my laundry done in the morning. But my circadian rhythm just won't allow it. To put it into perspective, imagine me asking you to just get up at 3 am to do your laundry. You wouldn't want to do that right?
If you're a morning person and the noise from adjacent night owls is bothering you, you should invest in some ear plugs.
Early birds seem to think that everyone should align with their schedule, but that simply doesn't work for everyone. #conversation source
