My sleep is being disturbed..............

I live in Calgary Alberta as some of you may or may not know, for you who don't it's a city of about 1.1 million people, anywayz onSaturday I was woken up late at night by a low flying fighter, I was shocked for a moment, then just thought it was a one time thing, now there are a few air bases, but the f18's usually stay away. Then the next day I was working on my car in my alley and I see two fighter fly by really low, I quickly realize it's just the fly over for the big football game. but they have been doing constant flying since then, you can see them literally everywhere in the city all day, I have learned they are British RAF tornados getting mountain flying training.

My question to you is, does air traffic keep you up at night? or in my case fighter jets.....

There's no ground traffic here let alone air traffic.The_Zoid

Ditto, I live on top of a hill near SF. no one goes in, no one goes out.

What, they have no mountains in the UK? They have to conduct mountain flying training here in Canada? To answer your question, no...my sleep doesn't get disturbed by air traffic.Aznsilvrboy

Canada has let british forces train here since WWII, in alberta we have a tank facility they use and well the rocky mountains are pretty much the mountains to learn.

I'm used to hearing traffic at night, doesn't bother me.Mumbles527

Yeah same, but the jets take it to a whole new level.

I live on a hill in Alaska :o

I'm kept awake by loud drunk girls...but that's what I get for living in a town where 50% of the population is college students (and an apartment complex that's about 99% college students).dgbiker1

Not usually.

Occasionally I'll get woken up for a second by the Blue Angels flyingby, but like I said, that's generally just a second. You hear that really quick scream, and then it's immediately gone so that I can go back to sleep.

There was only one time that air traffic ever pissed me off. See, I live on the same street as an elementary (or grade) school. The actual school building is a ways down the road, but the actual school yard is only about 300 feet from my home.

So anyway, one day there's all kinds of chaos going on outside my window. And it's 7 AM so I'm still asleep. But for a good 20 minutes, I hear helicopter sounds coming from right outside my ****ing bedroom. Eventually I decide to get up and see what's going on.

So I get up, walk to my front door, and look out. And I see a helicopter in the schoolyard. Blades still running. A crowd of people standing around it.

And I'm thinking "this better be ****ing good. I'd better see them lift some dead kid out of there. "

So I'm standing around waiting to see what happens. Then Santa Claus steps out of the helicopter.

Yes, ****ing Santa Claus.

And I swear, it's a good thing I didn't own any guns because otherwise I would probably be on death row right now. That **** pissed me off more than you can imagine. If those kids wanted to see Santa Claus, they can go to the ****ing mall. Meanwhile I'm working 75 ****ing hours a week, I get about 3 hours of sleep a day at most, and I have to wake up to that **** just because I live in the ghetto? Would anyone EVER authorize that kind of **** to happen at 7 AM in a well-to-do upper middle class neighborhood?

Man, **** Santa Claus. Santa Claus can go to hell.

:D

eheheh there is an airbase in Eskişehir/TUrkey...people there got used to planes but newcomers can't.It's like there'll be a war soon.

One time I was sleeping and I heard this big noise.With the mood of just getting up I thought something big was about to happen, ran at window looked around and it was 3 F-16s/this was in Istanbul though

I get woken up every day by A HUGE FRICKIN BALL OF FIRE!!!!

SOMEBODY KILL ME SO I CAN FINALLY SLEEP!!!!

Sorry, I take that back. I have a lot to live for. Too bad it just doesn't include sleep.

I'm used to hearing traffic at night, doesn't bother me.Mumbles527

Road traffic is one thing. We're talking about a jet fighter here.

Comforting to know that British tax payers' money are spent on disturbing the sleep of fellow Canadians...

Any plane that dares come near my town gets shot down...MindFreeze

*he says as he writes replys to OT from his al queda cave :P

awe they probably changed their flight patterns. say hello to even more sleep disturbed nightsMichaeltheCM

meh, supposedly they're here for a few weeks, but honestly giant 747's don't bother me, but if these fly low enoughthey can break glass, just so you know how loud it can be.....

I live like 4 minutes from LAX, so calm down.cool_baller

Then again LAX doesin't have these shooting around.... http://youtube.com/watch?v=XVrhNpeV-k0

not all hours of the day and night at least.
