You do understand you are operating with a big handicap. Their noise affects you more than yours affects them. You don't own their ceiling like they own yours. They can drive you crazy with NORMAL sounds, while for you to do the same you would have to make extra effort, and be obviously doing it for no other purpose. While they may indeed be doing it on purpose, the noise they are making doesn't give that fact away. So they are walking to and fro at 4am? And you are blasting TV noise and conspiring to have friends run up and down stairs? Which one of the two is more likely to look like they are being a nuisance?
Remember if you're playing tit-for-tat, you've got to find a way to level the playing field. You've kept them from sleeping. So when are YOU going to get YOUR sleep?
