IF you have never had to deal with a nosy neighbour before, count yourself lucky.
It seems that lots of people are revealing stories about their strange neighbours recently, with some having arguments over fences and others complaining about noise.
But one woman has revealed there’s something a bit strange going on with her neighbour and she’s not sure what to do about it.
The anonymous woman claimed that she has been left concerned after her odd neighbour has become ‘obsessed’ with her sleep routine.
Yes, you heard that correctly, the woman claimed she has overheard her neighbour discussing her sleep habits and often talks about what time she wakes up.
The unnamed woman took to Mumsnet yesterday to explain her unique situation.

She goes by the username ‘Mississipi71’ and revealed that her anti-anxiety medication makes it difficult for her to enter into a deep sleep, so she doesn't always feel like getting up at the crack of dawn.
She explained that she is retired with no dependents, and so doesn't really see the issue with having a relaxing lie-in.
However, her neighbour doesn’t agree and seems to be keeping a very close eye on the woman’s bedroom window.
The woman explained: "I overheard my neighbour talking about what time I get up in the day.

“I don't go into deep sleeps (side effects of anxiety meds) so I never really feel I have had a full night's sleep.
“ I am early retired, with no kids so what time I get up is down to me.
“I just read in bed, don't play music or watch tv, until I finally drift off.
“She also has no idea whether I have reasons for sleeping patterns and I don't need to justify anything to her.”
Many Mumsnet users were left shocked at the situation, with many sympathising with the woman.
Lots of people shared their own stories of nosy neighbours who also made them feel uneasy.
One person commented: “What time you wake up is none of her business. To spite her I’d deliberately leave them closed from now on.”
Another said: "My housemate can see into my bedroom as our rooms are at a right angle to each other.
“He commented when I put a new photo up on the pin board and when I was in the kitchen looking for my headphones he told me they were on my bed. Creeped me out a bit, I bought some window film.”
