Scientists Discover "Reset Button" For The Body's Biological Clock

Ensure that your sleep environment is quiet, very dark, and cool

I live in the city and my body corporate disallows things that change the exterior appearance, so no curtains for example - and I can't get aircon because I can't get a hose put through the downstairs walls for a unit outside which I also can't have. I have a desktop computer and it's usually 35 degrees upstairs after turning it off at night. So I've got city cleaning every night from about 12 till 4, beer bottles from all the clubs get dumped into bins at 5am religiously and buses start at about 5.30, from then on the construction next door has been going for the last year and a half from about 8 til 6pm. The water from other peoples toilets and showers runs through the roof to which they expertly put an opening into my apartment to alleviate some of the hot air, but it doesn't and it just makes the sound from the pipes fifteen times louder.

So combining those, there's loud noise all night, light pollution like you wouldn't believe and it's hot as fucking hell inside. So I wear earplugs, but they make your blood flow in your neck/brain really loud, I can't wear anything over my face because my breathing makes it too hot so I just have to face away from the windows. I get to sleep about once every two nights on average from exhaustion. I don't know the other people cope where I live, but most are Asian and Indian so maybe they're used to it.

I grew up in a number of places but all were extremely dark and extremely quiet, and temperate thanks to central heating. I just went four days without sleep and slept for 18 hours last night thanks to leaving everything turned off in the apartment and the weather dropping to about 18 degrees over night. I was having the weirdest hallucinations yesterday lol. I'm super sensitive to noises and light. I used to woken up if the light downstairs illuminated the centremetre gap under the door in my bedroom at my parents house, or if a milk bottle creaked in the fridge twenty metres away in the far end kitchen downstairs. zzz.
