I have lived under similar conditions. It is really annoying and awful. The problem, as I see it, is poor building, not noisy people usually. I would tackle the nonsense of folk having laminate flooring down as an exception. I moved into a low down flat, gosh, nightmare. The person upstairs worked nights and came in at 7.10 am on the dot. It got to the stage if I woke up around 6ish for the loo, I used to just stay up. No point in going back to bed to be woken up an hour later. I ended up having to speak to the neighbour, nicely and said please be aware when you come in, I am under you sleeping. Even on Sundays, I felt I was being dictated to as and when I got out of bed. I ended up moving out.
