I am groggy and irritated today.For a person like me it
's hard to get into sleep at day. I work the whole night online and everytime I sleep early in the morning I do wake up hearing the kids (my little cousins, my 3 yr old niece and my daughter) screaming and play with the loud voice..actually they are born with a loud voice it sounds normal to them Every time I told them to keep quiet they still doing and doing it and playing and I know they are kids. but they don't listen to me.so that's why I have to work online every other day instead of everyday doing typing jobs. Just like today I have to sleep this night then the other night I will be awake. it affects my earning especially my work only get fast during night. Their parents are not able to control them too.Even i close the room I can still hear their voice since it's a small home .They cannot also play outside since there lots of cars and motorcycle there it will be dangerous for them to play outside. Even I scold my daughter She still keep on doing it. anyway that's kids.. They cannot be discipline.I am not a person who like to hurt kids I tried to let her understand.but still keep on doing over and over again.Sometimes My 3 year old niece will keep on shouting and my sister has not control over it that most often which lead us to argument because of that. I hope I can afford a separate house where I can sleep comfortable.because unlike in night it's easy to sleep. but in day..even How sleep I am my sleep is only light so I am easily disturbed.How about you guyz? How do you feel when are really sleepy and you need to sleep but you can't due to noise around your place?

buy foam earplugs and wear an eye shade when you sleep. closing the windows and curtains could minimize the noise and daylight.
maybe you can cut down on coffee. maybe have one with dinner then another around midnight. research on what type of foods, fruits and drink can help you stay awake. being dehydrated can also make you sleepy. that can also be the reason you're sick.
take a multivitamin before sleeping. you can also take a warm shower before sleeping. or if your hands are tired from typing, a hot towel and a change of clothes can also help make you feel refreshed.

My hubby works nights for periods of time during the year. So I have to do my best to keep them quiet even if it means keeping on the tv all day, taking them out for the day, or at school. I always worry as he works on machines that could really cause some damage if you do not use caution and being able to think in general. I always remind the kids about their Daddy getting hurt because he was to sleepy on the job. Usually he can sleep thru about anything I don't know how he does it. Me I hear a kid roll over and I'm awake to see what's going on... the joys sometimes of being a Mom I suppose.

That is really too since I myself have worked in hazardous place that was my job as a production operator and we used big machine. so if your not alert all the time you might be hit by a big wood or accidentally cut your hand with the knife or hit your hands with the machine. so complete rest is very important to stay alert on such kind of job.Just like me now. I got many errors in typing if I am sleepy.Good that you husband can sleep well during day.. I don't know I just notice why men can sleep easily than women especially during daylight.

I stayed with a family one time for a summer and it was a mistake because they have small children . Everyday they would be screaming, crying and knocking on my door . They never listen to me , I was so annoyed with the children .
You have to get separate house because some people dont like when you talk about obvious annoying things their children do they expect you to understand . Even if you understand you wont have the same tolerance as they do because they are not your children . I cant stand living with young children , that Summer was a nightmare for me especially I dindt know the children.

AS a friend said here, buy earplugs. They are very cheap and it is the answer to it all. You can`t throw the children out and children do yell when they play. We all did. I live alone so I have the other problem: many times my house is too quit and I don`t like that. And many times I turn on the TV so that I can get some sleep with a little noise.

yes the final conclusion as a solution to the problem is buying an earplugs .or headset with music but hearing sounds for long period of time can definitely affect our ear too.

Hi, i used to live in a place where houses are very close to each other but i got used to it. But there are moments that i get pissed specially when i was learning so most of the time,our windows and doors are close then i learned how to use cotton balls on my ears or earplugs. Its better to hear musics that you like than hearing noises which you dont like,right?
By the way,a different question hehe. What website do you do your typing jobs? I wanna work online and earn some... Thanks in advance :)

Hi friend, sad to hear about this. I have two kids and i know the difficulties in raising the kids. Both of my kids are in kindergarten classes and they don't know what is good and what is bad. Most of the time i will teach about various things to them. Some times they will take foods with bear hands in great parties and functions. We must tolerate this kind of issues

thanks for sharing your experience in this discussion.especially these kids are hyperactive which is runs in our genes too. so they really cannot play quietly.

I'm sorry to hear that, it is really a hard situation, and the bad thing is you don't own the house, you can't insist what you like to, and also we can't avoid children to play and with loud voice, kids will shout if they like to shout, why not put headset when you are going to sleep, and play mellow music. That is what i'm doing, though its hard at first, but i'm getting used to it now.

THAt is a good suggestion..Actually i lose my headset and I don't know if the kids played with this. I need to buy a new one.

I don't have problems sleeping even if it's day time or even when there's a party going on. I guess when my body is too tired, I can't help but just shutdown altogether.
I guess when you're too tired you can't do anything but sleep, perhaps you should just sleep and cover your ears with earplugs and invest in good eye cover. Or even go for dark covers or blinds.
You will find a way because you're already tired. hehe..
Have a great mylot experience ahead!

If a person works the whole day and goes to sleep. He expects good and healthy sleep. Children make noises and we do get disturb our sleep is completely gone. I also have a kid, when i come form work and go to sleep at 1 AM, my kid wakes up every day at 9 am some times in between the night. That cause me sleepless night.

I'd be really grumpy if I lack sleep and hear loud voices. When I used to be working online for a US account, I only had about 4-5 hours of sleep in a day. And that is from 8am-12pm. During weekdays, I am able to sleep comfortably, but during weekends, the children are at play and tend to have loud voices as well. With that, it is hopeless to find sleep. So I'd go down and be mad at them and I let them out of the house and into my sister in law's house instead.
I mean, it may sound cruel of me but I need my sleep and I was the only one earning that time so having enough energy to do my job is very important. I start my shift at 1pm until 7pm then I come back at 9pm until 7am.

I have no habit to sleep during day, even if I did not sleep at night.. I have a little daughter and sometimes at night when I feel so sleepy make me awake with her cry and of course I get up for her and then she goes to sleep and for me.. I have to count sheeps again to fall in sleep.. most of the time I have terrible headache cause of not having enough sleep

Yes, it is hard for you to get sleep comfortable if there are many children in your house. They are difficult to control because they cannot control themselves, yes they are too small. If I get the problem like you, maybe i will sick because lack rest. Yes, it is a good idea if you rent a separate house to get rest to keep your health.

For the kids, it's normal for them because kids really dont know what they are doing and we all know that kids are really noisy ..
In our house, there is no baby but the only one who makes noise is my father because he has a hearing problem and he doesnt know how noisy he is when he talks and laughs. When he watches tv, the volume is really really loud. I really felt irritated when i'm studying and he watches tv because I cant concentrate ..

I really can image your situation thanks for sharing with these. My mother is a talkative one SHE have a wide vocal range that when she speak normally it is the same level with other people who scold or shout. that she really don't care if there is one who is sleeping or not.especially when we watched television program. she keep on commenting and commenting. that you cannot mostly hear what in the program says.

I am sorry for you are facing such situations. I believe I am also not able to work in a noisy environment. May be you can use a earphone or ear plug, but I know it is not good to always use it.
I am glad that I am staying with my own family so there is no other interference in my house. I have a queit environment here and a very condusive place to work and stay. I really count my blessings.
I do hope you are able to have your own house some day...

Where I live there are a lot of kids at the back houses and during the holidays, in particular the Summer holidays they are out in the garden making a lot of noise, I don't know why they need to scream and shout like they do, but the noise can be deafening at times, I tend to put my headphones on during the day and have music on, or if I need to sleep I use ear-plugs, they shut off the noise and I can sleep with them, it took getting used to at first but they make a difference. I know you can't tell the kids to play quietly or not to shout, sometimes their parents don't care if neighbours complain about the noise. So I find ear plugs for me is the ideal solution.

I am sorry but if they wake up early and scream then I wold give them both a time out - in different rooms. A few days of this would do the trick permanently

I had so much experience with noise haha. I used to live i a place where the houses are very clsoe to each other and sometimes i got pissed off and closed the windows and doors. Then i learned to put cotton balls,earplugs or earphones,that really helps.You can listen to music you like than hearing noise which disturbs you...
Anyway,i have a questions,what website you are in for typing jobs? I really wanna earn and have something to do,one reason i am here on mylot :)
