Humans need a relaxed mind, to induce sleep.

Sleep is said to be the foremost gift, by almighty, to humans.

Lack of sleep, is the origin of multiple diseases & causes detoriation, in existing diseases. Lack of sleep can, also not only harm organs, but can also cause, a near death scenario or death.

Also sudden loud sound, in regularity, more during natural hours of silence, can cause, heart or brain stroke.

Now days people sleep late. Specially in Large Cities, the engagement, is such that, early to bed & early to rise, is a challenge.

Even thousands are engaged, in offshore work requiring night shifts.

If Sleep is disturbed in regularity by irritating avoidable sounds, at avoidable natural hours of peace, the affected person over a period of time, would develop phobia & suffer from extreme loss of sleep. It's akin to a scenario, wherein someone is regularly pinched during sleep & woken up. As a consequence, over a time period, he/she, will tend to loose on sleep, fearing of the sudden pinch.

Ideally time for such, heavy noise generating, regular work, should be - PM.12 to PM. 02, when those who are engaged in normal day work or even offshore work, which requires night shifts, are not sleeping.
