Yeah, I have a different sleep schedule too. But, it doesn't mean that I can't live in apartment. It just means I can't live in a poorly built apartment with bad sound isolation between floors.

I've been in high quality apartments where you could never hear the neighbours at all. The problem is, there's no requirement to build them like that, and it's much cheaper not to, so they don't tend to do it. If I could be guaranteed not to be disturbed, I'd probably prefer a high-rise. But, I've had too many bad experiences with loud neighbours, or with air leakage so I could smell it when my neighbours were smoking.
