I know the feeling, used to happen to me.

I got two jobs, work 7 days a week,go to gym 3 times a week and I study at home. Planning and time management is the key.

Drink plenty of water, seems to help me with the stress. And always keep reminding yourself that it will all be worth it at the end.

Seriously though - do more. I used to rarely sleep more than 5hrs a night. I quit recently and am now in the process of starting up my restaurant (a Squires Loft in Nunawading ) - and even though I'm

I love to sleep. Actually doctors advised that every person should sleep 7 to 8 hours daily at night. And child should sleep 11 to 12 hours daily at night. That was the most important to stay healthy and also good to keep your body fit. And if you want to gain weight then you should also sleep well and also eat well.

I'm a terrible sleeper. Should go to the doctor but it seems I'm happy enough to take medical advice from anonymous users on a car forum. Downloaded the app and will see how I go.

We seldom offer bad advice.

Now sign over your car collection to me; this will save you hours of headaches and servicing costs.

Birds I will gift you my Mazda6. I'm sure that's what you meant. New tyres, brakes and wheelbearings - cracking car. Sleep app worked well but at this stage is proving to be more of interest than help. It shows 5 points of deep sleep and 1 point of awake over 8 hours. Deepest sleep at 4.00 and a wake up time of 5.12. Alarm was spooky as it goes off just as you are waking anyhow....Seems like a coincidence until you remember how it works.

The acceleromiter dooby in the iPhone is very sensitive and I was impressed how well it worked on its test.

Can't get a screen dump or an image file off the phone so can't share. Will take technical assistance.

Above performance assisted by an over the counter sleeping pill.

Edit, found a way to get the image. Not sure about file format. See how we go.

what is the go with these sleep apps?

what are they meant to do? help you achieve? offer what adivce? are they bs like testosterone pills? how are they meant to work?

They just learn your usual sleeping pattern, then time the alarm appropriately to wake you outside of REM sleep.

That and you can use them to see your own sleeping pattern for insight.

they work via the accelerometer in the phone. so it need to be able to feel you tossing and turning. they are useful because it will wake you at 6.47am when you are at a lighter stage of sleep vs 7am when you may be going back into a deeper sleep. basically its less of a shock to the system and you dont feel as groggy when you wake

For the record Leesh, you don't need to have it right next to your head. There should be a "test" mode on the thing where you can trial different spots on your mattress. Just chuck it into test mode, put it on the other side of your bed from where you have your head, and move around a bit. It should make sounds to indicate it's picking up your movement.

Not a matter of worthy dear. This is sometimes due to burden of work that you have done for last few days or weeks. Or may be due to the style of sleeping that you have adopted. Sometimes you feel comfortable in new one but not your body organs. So, try to relax and calm down.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.

      @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html

      These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.

      The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
