Midnight Water Passing

Further to my soundproofing entry, there is nothing I can do about the sound leakage from the above apartment and there is a chance I may lose my freakin' mind.
 
Last night, there was a very loud party going on over top of my bedroom  It lasted all night long.  At five this morning, I got up and took a gravol, which gave me a couple of hours of semi-sleep before my phone rang (something that never happens before noon) at eight thirty.
 
Add to sleep deprivation the fact that water pipes are connected and there is a huge echo effect.  It seems that there were many healthy men, possessed of capacious bladders, at the party.  One after another, they emptied said beer receptacles, often taking more than a full minute of crashing waterfall effects.  I confess I had to stick my fingers in my ears to drown out the deafening sound.  The recycling of fluids was almost without break. 
 
If I sound a tad fractious, it is with good reason.  I've lost a full day's productivity and suffered endlessly through some westernized form of water torture.  On a scale of one to ten, I feel about minus a hundred.  That can't be a good thing.
