I live in a condo, I own it, I am on the top floor, below me are a fairly nice couple who just got married. Our floor plan is exactly the same. In the morning their alarm goes off and they hit snooze every 10 min for 2 hours until one of them gets up. Then the other one's alarm goes off and stays on loud for like 30 minutes until she gets up. Help!!! I work full-time just not the the same hours they do. How should I approach the this, just talk with them? And how do I position it it in a nice way? Thanks in advance!!!

My best advice would be to get a sound machine, that plays ocean sounds and stuff like that, the have a pretty cheap one at Babys r us that has like 7 different sounds, my son has one and i haer it on the baby monitor every night, it is actually soothing, but it keeps all the other noise away. you really cant say anything to them, unless you want to have awkward living arrangements with them. Never ever tick off a neighbor...they can make your life miserable. you never know how people are. once you become closer to them and u feel comfortable saying things to them then maybe you can mention it. until then dont say anything.

I'm sorry to say this but there is nothing you can do except for talk to them about it.
Sounds like the typical noise you would hear in a living arrangement like that (apartment/condo style places).
Try earplugs? Put a fan on in the room?

what is your floor made of- tile, wood? Perhaps putting some sort of area rug, or even wall to wall could buffer the sound. I'd consider leaving them a note asking them to please turn their alarm volume down, since sounds carry thru the ceiling and it wakes you up. Thanks, from Jenn, upstairs.
Do they rent from the owner? If they rent you could perhaps report them to their landlord or the condo board, but that should be a last resort. I'd even conside a white noise machine or earplugs before becoming confrontational.

Buy a few Ear plugs, they could honestly paintings! incidentally I'm deaf, so sure I'm blessed! :p I can honestly sleep at night time like a little one if I received teach monitor external of the apartment! Might desire to check out Police and they will ask them to reduce their drum/song... at specific time, certainly for the duration of week day (Work). Don't pass over the following door by myself, cuz you haven't any concept what they are equipped of!!!
