I am a very light sleeper and awake by people walking around the house. I go to bed at 10:30-11:pm and am usually woken up by someone walking around upstairs at 12:00am, then 1am, then 2am..then it takes me another hours to fall asleep again. I wake up in the morning at 6:30 am and am completely exhausted..I cant keep going on like this. Any one have any ideas on how I can sleep a whole night through without waking up from everyone walking around.

Have you tried an over the counter sleep aid, such as diphenhydramine (commonly found in Benadryl, etc.)? Even taking half a tablet may make a difference in helping you stay asleep through the night. It has helped me in the past.
I have also heard that Melatonin, which is a supplement, works wonders for a good night's rest.

I live right next to a major road where people are always driving at night and playing loud music or squealling their tires, so I use a fan. I point it away from me so the wind doesn't bother me or my wife, but the white noise from the fan really drowns out the other noises.

i'm a very light sleeper like you are, so i know exactly what you are experiencing. The people that lived in the apartment above us galloped around between 3 and 4AM every morning, very annoying. You can ask them to please not gallop around upstairs, move, or take something to put you into a slightly deeper sleep.....we moved

play some sounds like music or waves or creek in your room.
that way it will mask some of the noise. get off all caffeine as
that contributes (coffee, colas, tea, chocolate, etc.) learn to breathe and relax so you can get back to sleep. consider getting a sleep hypnosis CD you can play whenever you wake up.

See a counselor. You have unresloved issues.
