Upstairs neighbor

I just need to vent. My upstairs neighbor drops something heavy on the floor every single night (I assume as they’re getting into bed) and it scares the absolute shit out of me right as I’m trying to wind down or fall asleep for the night. The time varies every night but it sends me into fight or flight mode because it scares me so bad and it’s driving me nuts!!

I am aware that I can go talk to him and hopefully sort something out, but I’m also trying to deal with things on my own because this is apartment living so I can’t expect it to be silent 24/7. Ear plugs have helped dampen the sound if I’m still awake when it happens, but it also causes so much anticipation anxiety so that’s a whole other issue.

Thanks for letting me vent!!
