Why not just try and stay awake all night?

Mrs Deanetta is very good at providing all-night entertainment, apparently - or so my mates back home tell me..............

You could always try singing...to drown out the A/C noise, not as a replacement to being screwed.
It actually says in my rental contract that singing is not allowed- so make sure you read the small print before you have a kareoke night! Not that I'm personally that worried as the ammount of ridiculous do's and don'ts in my contract are hysterical! plus I know what I sound like singing so I don't actually blame them at all- wouldn't put anyone to sleep but may result in me being thrown off a balcony!

Standard Green Form tenancy agreement--only prohibition is subletting. Our full-blown office is on the same form--one page, half of which is Arabic (presumably says the same as the English). Don't suppose Law of Landlord and Tenant is too well established here.

Right, off the evening. 10 pints of 1664 should send me to sleep tonight, either that or try to find a Chinese lady with big hands.

that is exactly what we do.

Oh, be warned a Chinese girl with big hands might not be all what they seem. You might be in for an unexpected bonus.

A/C can be a nightmare, right enough. When I stayed in a site camp in Qatar I had one of those ancient in-the-window units right over the bed and it was like having Concorde in the room. Even ear plugs did little to help.

Regenerated Noise. Not much you can do about that, except move, or ask really nicely to put PUR damper mats under the mounts for the AC's. You'll get a lot of blank looks....

unfortunately over here all apartment buildings seem to have split A/C so it can be a bit noisy. it also means we only run A/C in the bedroom at night otherwise our electricity bill would be huge

Both, regrettably. Slept like a baby--woke up every 60 minutes crying.
