Just watched the programme on BBC about 10 things we should know about sleep. The jetlag bit was very interesting, not sure how many people could starve themselves for that long though. But perhaps the tip that could help more people is the gradual relaxation technique, I have heard of it before but was surprised how well it appeared to work the first time that comedian used it.
I meant to record that :wall: Guess I'll be having a look on iplayer tomorrow :rolleyes:

First load of washing will be out of the machine in a few minutes and will risk hanging it out as DD2 will be coming round later to be in when the freezer repair man gets here, so she will keep an eye on it.
