Your son was me once. I’d let him know its effect on you and ask him if he has any win-win suggestions so he can continue and you can sleep. Earplugs seems like an easy solution, but this conversation may bear greater fruit.
My beautiful wife gets up to let the dog out twice a night, and sometimes gets into a chat with herself while she sleeps. I basically put in ear plugs, then headphones, and an eye mask, and okay white noise or soothing sleeping stories, and that is quite effective. You just need good pillow arrangement to make the headphones work. But helps with getting back ti sleep and staying asleep. And some foam edging where the door closes to stop any actual wood on wood.

I have a 15 year old son and I know what you are dealing with! I let him use my studio, covered with sound block foam and a two doors.
