Two things come to mind, bro:
One is a post that a sister had shared on Ruqyashariah Forum a long time ago in which she'd shared this advice when jinn had been troubling her family, especially her son, a lot, and I'm posting her words so that you can benefit from therein:
Being Thankful as a method to seek help from Allah
Salam,
I was wondering if anyone here inflicted are thanking of his/her blessings on a regular basis? One example of this in the Quran is Al-E-Imran Whoso desireth the reward of the world, We bestow on him thereof; and whoso desireth the reward of the Hereafter, We bestow on him thereof. We shall reward the thankful. (145)
I have been thanking Allah a lot lately and focusing on my blessings. THe less attention I have given the "EVIL" the less it will seek my attention. I do prayers every night and morning just like before and my husband prays on my son everyday, but I am not thinking about why we are doing them (meaning the problem at hand). I am doing it because it brings my heart peace and brings me closer to Allah! Try not to think or do anything that gives them attention which I KNOW THEY FEED OFF OF. Please learn from my mistakes over and over....do NOT linger on the evil going on and focus on your blessings!! THe more of your energy you give it, the more it will take. Yes, it may take time to change your way of thinking, but trust me, if you spend more time thinking of your blessings and thanking Allah everytime you see something good it will be better for you. After awhile, Inshallah, the evil will just disinigrate of course with your prayers as well. Because it is not worth their time to be with you or in you if they can't get anything from you...meaning attention, fear or loss of your faith! Their purpose is to bring you down, so by losing it and becoming fearful and desperate and depressed they have won!!! Therefore they will be with you because they are getting what they want from you! Be strong!!! When it attacks, stop and thank Allah for something amazing in your life right at that moment!! Even if it is just the fact that you are breathing or have a roof over your head! Be thankful! I want to hear what happens! Lets try this and see what we can learn from each other!
Also, what about the verse we say twice a day in the House Protection Dua...
Albaqurah 256: Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error:
whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.
Let's REJECT evil by not letting it take us away from our lives because they are really powerless. Remember we have Allah on our side so how can we despair. It is them who are the losers! Believe me, I know how easy it is to get caught up in their trap of this consuming your life!!! I wasted precious time enjoying my child because of this. I prayed and prayed and finally Allah gave me the realization that as long as I let it consume my life it WILL. And it was as simple as changing my mind set to focus on the good and ignore the bad that things started to improve! In fact I thank Allah for healing my son even when he has a fit. I close my eyes and think of when he is superb and I smile and thank God and you know what?? My son stops his fit! Be thankful!! Allah loves those who thank him. And not just saying it, MEANING it!!
Salam

Hopefully, the above benefits you and you realize you should reject the evil, which in your case means seriously stopping yourself from focusing on your neighbors, as the more you try to focus on them and their actions, the less you'll be able to focus on Allah SWT and being thankful to Allah SWT for your blessings. To use an analogy, in New Age Philosophy, the idea is that focusing on the negative attracts the negative more into our lives. And to attract positive into our lives, we need to focus more on the positives. This New Age Philosophy has a direct basis in Islam as we're told in the Quran that thankfulness is related to having more favors from Allah SWT in our lives.
Also, please remember the
hadith (prophetic tradition):
Gratitude’s importance was emphasized by the Prophet when he took the hand of Mu’aadh ibn Jabal and said: “O Mu’aadh, by Allah I love you, by Allah I love you.” Then he said, “I advise you, O Mu’aadh, do not fail to say this after every prayer:
O Allah help me to remember You, to thank You and to worship You properly.” The Arabic version of this Hadith is the following. Let’s ensure that we memorize it and recite it after every prayer.
Allahumma A’inni Ala dhikrika wa shukrika wa husni ibadatika
Also, secondly, there's a natural vegetarian sleeping capsules called
Luna that you might want to take to help you sleep. I know that the door slamming is bad in your neighbors' house and utilizing one thing doesn't work. However, maybe a combination of all techniques should help: For example, I'd recommend that you take natural sleeping capsules like Luna, wear the best earplugs available on the market, and also use something like
pillow to place on your eyes by tying it with a satin cloth around your head so that no light is able to penetrate, and additionally also sleep having recited and blown on your body 4 Quls, Ayatul-Kursi, and Surah Mulk and Surah Sajda. Then, believe in your heart of hearts that you will get a good night sleep because there's also a thing such as self-fulfilling prophecy that I think is also hampering you from being able to win in this struggle and of course keep making
duas as
duas are the weapon of the believer. And the trick is that once you make
dua, you sincerely believe that the
dua is in the domain of Allah's Court and will be answered, and try not to doubt on whether Allah SWT will answer or not as that will ruin your positive focus and you need to simply believe that Allah SWT has the best timing and will answer your
dua in the best way and Allah SWT's timing is best. Remember the
Hadith Qudsi in which Allah SWT reminds, "I am as My servant thinks I am" and also remember the
hadith in which Prophet
salllalahu alayhi wasallam reminded that having an excellent opinion of Allah is part of excellent worship.
Hope that helps, bro.
And remember, steady. You have to be steady in keeping up the good fight, and I think your good fight is not external as you seem to believe but also internal, and
In-sha-Allah once you take care of the internal struggle, the external situation will turn around for the better as well.
