Hi all. We live in a semi detached house. We generally have a good relationship with neighbour. He lives alone. I'm sure he has insomnia. I wake up heating him walking round his house and even leaving the house at weird hours (walls are paper thin). He has his tv so loud and can often hear that too. I'm sure he is hard of hearing too. Especially in the summer as windows left open it the sound of the tv seems to echo through to ours (his bedroom is next to ours).I can generally sleep through this though, if I get woke up I can nod off again if it's still dark.
But now it's incredibly light in the mornings he is letting his dogs out at 4-5am. It starts with the banging off his back door letting them out (he's not subtle about that). He has 2 or 3 dogs I think. They don't seem to bark as such but they howl (huskies) which can be quite loud. They seem to whine and play fight with each other between a few of them it can be pretty noise below our window. Even with window shut it's quite loud. He doesn't seem to let them out so early during winter. Admittedly he does shout at them to shut up sometimes which wakes me up further. If I wake up and he's light outside I really struggle to get back to sleep... and I'm exhausted during the day. I'm an early bird as getting up at 6am but 4-5am is just a little too early for me.
I really don't know what to do. He is a nice bloke. I do think he is hard of hearing as when we talk to him he struggles to hear. He is quite young but I am pretty sure I remember him saying he cannot hear that well. Maybe he doesn't realise how loud they are - but he does tell them to shut up sometimes.
We have a dog. she can bark at times outside when triggered by something but we don't let her out too late at night or early. Dp is up at 5am to start work at 6am. He doesn't even let our dog out for a wee (unless she's desperate at the door off) as we don't want our dog to disturb anyone... I tend to let her out a little later. Our dog is pretty lazy and chilled and is uninterested in going out in the early hours. She doesn't want to move off the sofa most mornings 😂
We live in such a quiet area with barely shy traffic etc and dogs including my own do make noise but I'm just bleddy exhausted.
Wwyd? Suck it up? Speak to him?
He's just not letting them out for a quick wee and calling them in either. They were out their being noisy for at least an hour this morning.
Thankfully it does not wake my kids up but they do sleep like logs and their bedrooms aren't right above their neighbours garden like ours!
