If you’re sleeping off a night shift and I’m up early I’ll be quite as a church mouse. But if you’re just laying in bed for no reason then you can deal with the noise of whatever I need to get done
You shouldn’t disturb other people whether they’re asleep or awake. Buying a pair of slippers or flip flops for indoors and not slamming doors and cupboards isn’t exactly a monumental ask at any time of day.
I’m very confused by this statement.
Does nobody in Belgium really go to bed before 10?
If you knew your neighbor had to be up by 4am every day and had a child, and knew they had to go to bed by 8, would you not try to be nice if they were nice in kind?
Never worked nightshifts?
The cleaning crew at the hotel on my last business trips are always extremely noisy. But I’ve just hit the bed after my shift, some breakfast and a beer.
Would be nice to at least once get 6 full hours of sleep…
I have not but I simpathise for you.
I tried to word my reply to indicate that there were cases that didn’t follow my rule of thumb… Cases like yours it makes sense to wake up… Frankly whenever.

Why? Night owls aren’t allowed to sleep until they wake up by themselves?
Morning persons are allowed to fall asleep whenever they want. You don’t see us shouting just because you are already asleep before 12 'o clock.
Day time just is the default living time
I get up at 6 and go to bed at 10 for work but I’m gonna be honest anytime before 9 am or after midnight is quiet hours imo
Depends on how far we’re talking here. 8pm bedtime? Reasonable. 4pm bedtime? Yeah no I’m not tiptoeing for you.
Similarly, 8am wakeup? Ok I’ll tiptoe if I can. Noon? Probably no.

I think that’s fair and true so long as both parties can talk about it and come to an agreement and understanding.
8pm bedtime is not reasonable to us. In Belgium the law says we can make noise until 10 before neighbors are allowed to call the police.
So by your logic, I can keep shouting next to the place you try to sleep for an other 2 hours.

All the lazy people down voting you
“”“lazy”“” okay what if I think you’re lazy for not being up at 2am?
It’s scientifically proven that humans actually have differing sleep cycles. This has evolutionary advantages which is why it’s a trait we retained.

Lazy people can’t stay up until 2 o clock.
Pretty lazy to be sleeping at 8pm
