I had an idea while I was outside thinking about this:
Do you have a long lease contract with your management company / landlord? If so, and I"ll pretend it"s a year for sake of argument, it may be a sheer act of genius for her. Let me explain.
If she is relatively new on the lease, again I"ll pretend she is on month three of a one year contract, instead of working with the management company/landlord to pay exit fees or work through the court system to be absolved of her lease contract, she may be meticulously documenting a "medical" problem which is relatively unverifiable in order to pester her way out of a lease.
For me, I was planning on studying abroad in Japan last quarter because I was accepted to a rather prestigious program in Yokohama through UCSB, but I did not go because I still had 7 months left on my lease contract that I couldn"t get out of. I would have ended up paying for my apartment while I was in Japan which would have been a huge waste of money.
Applying this or similar ideas to her, if something has come up in her life that altered her short term plan (she is moving in with someone else around month 7 of the lease, or wants to go to a different city, whatever) she may just be trying to pester her way out of her lease through this "medical" problem of sleep / vibration. If she continues it long enough, your landlord would probably be happy to see her go and let her out of the lease in order to stop dealing with the headache or avoid going to court.
Anyway, I defininately agree that you should invite your landlord into your unit, turn on your computer, then have him go upstairs to check into this alleged "vibration". Then, I would go as far as to tell him you are considering a form of vigilantism or verbal confrontation with your neighbor, because she is obviously spying on you (as shown through the email stating you and your wife went to bed at 12:45), or seems to know exactly what you are doing.
Tell him it is causing you and your wife to be fearful about the mental stability of the woman, to cry wolf over something so trivial and to be scrutinizing your daily life, and therefore feel obligated to protect yourself in some way whether through confrontation, civil courts, or police intervention because of late night phone calls or emails.
Anyway, I wish I had thought of trying something along these lines to get out of my lease. I"d have had one happy quarter abroad.
