My upstairs neighbor got a new girlfriend. She "fakes" it every morning and is so loud. It has woken me up 3 days in a row now. I have never met these people before so it isn't like I can just ask them to stop. How do I be polite and neighborly while still getting my sleep in the morning?

They may not know you can hear them.
Depending on how brave you are, when they're done, you could shout out "IT WAS GOOD FOR ME TOO!"
Or you could do some variation on that... shout THANK YOU, or just make some noise so that they realize how thin the partitions are, and that if they can hear you, then ....!
Start there. If they keep it up, you can start saying more obvious things, more loudly, etc. If they're STILL ignoring you, it's time to take off the gloves.

Why be polite and neighborly?? They sure aren't! I'd find something to bang on the ceiling with. That should be enough to startle them and at least let them know that you can hear them. If that doesn't work you could get the landlord involved, go speak to them yourself, or have some fun and let the battles begin (you can be loud when they're trying to sleep)!

How would you like to be told about your noise from your neighbor? That is usually a good indication of how you should handle the situation.
Some suggestions:
Leave a note in the mailbox, taped to the door, or slipped under the door.
Be polite and not crude, saying that of late the noises coming into your bedroom have come to the point that you are able to hear more than you are comfortable hearing and that you thought he should know.

I had that happen to me. i had to move out. Every Saturday at 6 0r 7 in the morning they would go at it. Sometimes Sundays too. Durinf the week I had to get up at 3 in the morning, so I really wanted to sleep in on the week ends. So I can totally relate. Talk to your landlord. If that doesn't work. You will just have to move when your lease is up.

*Warning* Mildly/moderately graphic and definitely not polite.
I had this problem, too. Except the girlfriend wouldn't fake it. No woman ever should. How's he ever gonna learn if you're not honest with each other?
Anyways, I would wake up around 3 am every morning listening to their Cradle of Filth CD come through the wall (not bad, IMO) and then the CD would suddenly stop. Then I'd hear ...
"F**ck me, Nick!!! F**ck me!!!" at the top of her lungs. He yelled back, in sheer frustration, "I AM!!!"
The first time it happened, I rolled into my boyfriend's shoulder and did the muffled laugh.
The second time - slight annoyance.
The third time it happened I yelled back at the ceiling "Don't forget me, Nick!!!"
Never happened again, but my boyfriend is still trying to figure out who Nick is.

/still calls him "F*ck me Nick" to her boyfriend

Leave a note on the door congratulating your neighbor on a "successful" night. Or, kindly ask him to keep his "extra-curricular activities" to a more reasonable volume. Who cares if you haven't met him before...in all seriousness, it's your sleeping time.

I agree with the note. You dont have to sign it. I would be annoyed to and its not like you can just go up to them and ask them to keep it down. If it were music I could understand but this is a bit more difficult.

Take a broom handle and bang on your ceiling a few times. He will get the message.

Call your landlord and make a noise complaint.
