I can't get a full nights rest at my own apartment

Raise hell with the poperty manager. She will either take care of the problem or release you from the lease. Then you will be free to move.

Can you move? I got out of a lease once because the people above me had kids that made a lot of noise. Or ask your leasing office for a different apt. I'm now a top floor renter.

I had the same problem. I bought a house. Love the quiet.

Earplugs,

Really loud white noise with earplugs does in fact work.

If the foam earplugs are uncomfortable, try Radians custom molded earplugs, they are on amazon. You mix the two materials together, push them into your ears, leave em for 1 hour and they harden / solidy to your ears shape.

And as far as white noise you might need a bluetooth speaker that has decent volume / bass. I recommend whitenoise.com on the brown setting, or on Android the app "Noise Machine".

Register complaints with the building manager. That is the obvious first step. You can't assume nothing will happen because you don't actually know. Think long term on this: if you register multiple complains, then you have data to backup more extreme measures, such as breaking the lease and moving out without penalty.

Earplugs. Night shift taught me well.

Squeaky wheel'll get the grease. Complain politely but consistently; like make a schedule of it. Hopefully she will relocate you in the building just so you stop bugging her.
