Ours appear to be diurnal, but I am worried about their rising time. The birds here start before dawn, which is not promising.
Does their nesting look long term? Do you think they stand a chance of breeding? I'm afraid of what that could mean for your sleep patterns. Young jackhammers are less careful then their parents about when they crow and they tend to be quite ravenous. They tend to meet up with small piledrivers and form roaming gangs. Ruinous to most neighborhoods, unless there's good natural grazing, like an abandoned quarry. Though they are quite adorable if you catch them in an unguarded moment as they romp about in new ruins.
Oh, man. He has my greatest sympathies. That is not the worst alarm clock, but it's right up there.
The worst alarm clock I can think of is that something large and formidable deciding that you are breakfast. Biting insects are a close second. Explosions aren't a lot of fun either, but are thankfully, largely outside my personal experience. I hope you wake gently tomorrow or sleep soundly through.
