And The Party Don’t Stop ‘Til 6 In The Morning
This week’s Insomnia Story comes from the Islington Tribune. Poor Marsha Soriano is kept up night after night living above a lively night club. Unfortunately I have met too many people, especially here in New York, who have experienced the same issues. They’ve tried sleeping in other rooms, turning up the TV or music, using earplugs, even yelling down at the club patrons below (probably the worst out of the ideas listed.) Marsha decided to keep a journal of her noise problem and is now doing something about it. Read the excerpt below:
“ A TEACHER has revealed how noise from an Islington bar has almost ruined her marriage.
Marsha Soriano has documented her sleepless nights in a noise diary, which will provide vital evidence when councillors review the Ladybird bar’s licence at the Town Hall on Monday.
Her notes, written in the middle of the night, describe how loud music from the Upper Street bar keeps her awake at the flat she shares with her husband Cesar. She has taken sleeping pills and spends part of the night on a sofa to escape the noise.
Bar owner Habib Eldebs maintains he has done everything he can to keep the noise down.
Ms Soriano said: “We’re moving out. We can’t take it any more. We want him to run a business and don’t care if he’s open till 4am, we just don’t want to hear it.”
