My neighbour and her headboard...

My neighbour (terraced houses) has (I think) started seeing somebody. She's a single mum, middle aged, I'm pleased for her. Our relationship is cordial - we can say hello on the street and I have her mobile number but never socialised or anything.

The issue is she is (I think) started having sex late every single night. The sound is a squeaking mattress and a thumping headboard, along the wall where our bed sits. It lasts about fifteen minutes. I can't think what else it could be.

It varies from between 23:30 to 01:30 (last night) and it is loud enough to wake me up.

I don't know what to do about it. I'm losing sleep but I cringe at the thought of saying anything. I floated the idea of a concerned text about hearing her washing machine/boiler/pipe noises late at night which would let her know I can hear her but my DP thinks this is a mental course of action and I have to say I agree.

I've started dreading going to bed, though. Any suggestions?

My friend had this with an upstairs neighbour! I heard it when I visited and was a bit Hmm? and she was all "oh yeah they always do that, there'll be a quick bit then they'll be done" etc.
I'd bang loudly on the wall and shout "shut up" personally, but I'm not the subtle type!
