Boys boys boys, my father's name is William, my middle name is William, my first born son's middle name is William and I'm pretty sure I met a dude called William down the pub once.

 

I'm sure young W Puff is doing just fine.

I want to "upgrade" to the holder and the mirror - and get the L/R mirrors with blinkers - the pox things on the front guards look lame.
 
Want to get a sunroof - can do the others then, but the mirrors need new connectors :(


Sounds like you need to buy a G6ET

Pretty happy with my new roof lining.
But this is making me smile a whole lot more.
My NBN with TPG Just came online

So I previously mentioned that I was going to see a sleep specialist about my inability to sleep normally. I've now had two appointments with her and apparently I have what's called Advanced Sleep Phase Disorder...which basically means my circadian rhythm is farked.

So instead of being tired and ready for bed at normal times my brain defaulted to like midnight to 8am sorta thing, which when my work schedule involves me needing to wake up at 4:30am kinda threw me. Plus then I'd sleep in on break to compensate, which didn't help either. Not to mention it all screwed me over when the missus would stay over, coz I wouldn't sleep the first night she stayed, then sleep in the following night when she wasn't there to compensate, then wouldn't be tired the next night she stays...and tone and round the cycle goes.

Sleep specialist gave me some light glasses that I have to use for half an hour each morning when I wake up at home and at that same time when I'm on site. So currently I've been doing that at 6:30am till 7am. The idea behind it is that it shines real bright green light into your eyes (brighter than you'd generally otherwise experience) to kick start your brain to go "ok, time to be awake. Don't need to be sleepy anymore so stop producing melatonin". Then she has me taking melatonin a couple of hours before going to bed.

She's also got me trying to stick to waking up at the same time on break (6:30am), so that's it's not such a large disparity between when I'm getting up at home and at work. This in turn also helps me be more tired earlier in the night so I can go to sleep earlier both at home and on site.

I've now been doing this for a week and have started noticing a surprising difference already. I'm not as sluggish first thing in the morning and I'm falling asleep much easier at night, and generally earlier. An encouraging thing for me too was that last night I actually slept with the missus there and I didn't need to take a sleeping tablet to do so. So I'm flying back to work this morning not feeling completely shattered and actually feeling pretty positive
