I am having a headache due to broken sleep

I am constantly bothered by noises at night. I am not sure it is from upstairs or not. I did some research on the possible causes of noises. Some articles say the noises may not be caused by people, instead, they are generated by the pipes hitting nearby objects, making it sound like marbles dropped onto the ground. I believe this may be the cause. But when I hear the noises, I can’t help thinking it is made by people living above me.

But the strange thing is that my girlfriend never seems to be bothered by the noises,while I am suffering a lot. And the apartment we used to live in downtown was rented by another couple. They told me they are never disturbed by upstairs noises. But when I lived there, I heard constant noises,especially at night.

So it seems it is probably my problem. Last night I slept on the balcony in my sleeping bag. But still I can hear the footsteps and thumping and all. I guess I need to learn to dull my senses.

Also I sometimes think too much and too much thoughts are no good for me. And I learned that people who think too much are prone to be schizophrenia or depression because even tiny things in life can leave a deep impression on their mind and it takes a long time to fade away.

Well, I wish I could live in a little cabin by a river, just like Henry Thoreau. I only long for peace of mind.

Wish everybody sleep well and early and peace of mind.
