I'm about halfway through a contract at an adult hagwon.  So far, it's an awesome job.  I can dress casually, design my own material, and there are no student reports.  I basically develop current event discussion materials and guide the conversation.

 

Of course the splits are hard but I accidentally (thanks to the constant noise in my neighborhood... adjacent a university AND ridiculously obnoxious neighbors) had a week where I could only sleep 4 hours a night, then 4 hours the following day between classes.  And, it actually wasn't that bad.  I think I could manage for quite some time on that schedule.

 

But, the neighborhood and obnoxious neighbors make maintaining any semblance of a regular sleep schedule impossible.  So, after loads of complaints to the landlord and my manager they are going to get me a new room.  

 

The only place we have looked at so far is on the 9th floor of Daehyeon Art-room in Dangni, facing the main street with no adjacent neighbors BUT it is adjacent the elevator.  What do you think, would the 9th floor be far enough from the street to get sleep during the day.  The building is solid concrete old school Korean residential construction.  

 

By comparison, the place I'm in now is converted office space with paper thin walls (and screaming neighbors adjacent the entrance of a university... kinda ridiculous they put me here and expected me to be able to sleep).
