My experience in similar situations has been that talking it over with  the
others  involved  is  the best solution.  They may not be aware that others
can hear them (and may be somewhat embarrassed when they  find  out).  They
probably don't realize they're causing you a significant problem.  I expect
they don't want to regulate your sleep any more than you want  to  regulate
their sex.  Working out some mutually acceptable compromise is probably the
best bet.
