One morning when I lived in Queens, in a confused half-awake state, I thought that the world must be ending in thermonuclear holocaust from the US's having pissed off the wrong people. And then I woke up a little more, and realized it was just the destruction elves assaulting the apartment next to mine.
So, imagine them doing it while you sleep, in the next room, apparently directly to the other side of the very wall that separates your bedroom from their spree of chaos. Earplugs helped, but not so much against the earth-shaking god-knows-what that could be felt through the bed.
Yes, I know, I'd have missed all the fun by getting up and leaving at a common hour. As in fact I may have done at least one morning when the din forbade rest.
