...stop the smell waking me up? I live in an apartment complex, 1 bedroom. I have complained numerous times against my downstairs neighbor hitting on walls and the ceiling to wake me up on purpose (long story). I sometimes have to sleep during the day due to a night job. Now, a new strategy he is employing is cooking fish with some spices early in the morning (done that twice in the past week). I need to sleep in the living room area. I wanted to throw up this morning. His apartment was full of smoke and the smell was killing me. I am not sure how the smell came so much into my apartment. Do I have to turn on my vent hood fan to reduce the effect. Any suggestions?
