We spend 16 hours a day within 3 feet of each other.
Really, it's really, really okay if we're on different floors.
Really. It's okay.

At least you two halves of a very comfortable bed to sleep it off. The curse of a F/O: even when you sleep... not a king.

Those who believe it can't happen to them for landing at the wrong airport with all the goo goo phonics, paper charts, and operating NAVs on their aircraft

Don't you love being on the same floor with the drunken guests from the wedding that's being held in the hotel -- people that stay in a hotel maybe once every five years, and hoot and holler up and down the hall all night?
Or maybe even worse, being on the same floor with the 15 different youth soccer teams in town for a tournament, who run back and forth all night among all their friends' rooms?
"Knock, knock..."
"Slam!"
"Knock, knock..."
"Slam!"

The best thing for me is white noise... turn any fans on full. I really need to get one of those white noise sleep machines.
As for kids screwing around in the hallway... I've lost all patience with that crap. I'll stick my scary old-man face out into the hall and tell them to keep it down. And if that doesn't work, calling the front desk usually does.
