. to sleep?

When I moved in here I asked if I could put up a curtain rod and the landlord said yes, but I have to have maintenance put it up. (The reason was never clarified)
I put in my request a month ago and don't have any inkling of when they're coming by. They were supposed to on Monday but that didn't happen.
I bought blackout curtains that should also make the room a little quieter and cooler. I live downtown in a city with essentially hospital lights on the street outside, a lot of other insomniacs that scream and talk loudly on the street of all hours of the night and day, and we're at the 2nd most 90+F days ever recorded here in a summer already. I don't have A/C. We're heading into another stretch of potentially 5+ days of 90+F heat. I've slept so little this summer I'm pretty sure I've been having seizures the past few days and I'm convinced I'm going to have dementia before I'm 45. I'm also fking sick of my CM asking every week "when you getting your curtains up?" like a fking broken record,, swear to God we've wasted 2 hours talking about curtains in the past month instead of, idk, treatment?


Which is worse from a landlord's perspective: intentionally/knowingly putting up a curtain rod against the rules or spending every night screaming on and off and yelling incoherently for hours when my head goes numb, I throw up, and think I'm being amputated by myself or whatever kind of delirious on goings happen only to wake up and have to spend 3 hours cleaning up whatever I threw?
