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.

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.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
