Morning, how's your day going so far?

Today (well last night) I broke my iPad by falling asleep on it the screen is completely shattered, like a spider web pattern shatter.

I took out insurance when I purchased it so the excess is £39 to get it fixed so not the end of the world, but annoying! At least I get a trip to the nearest city and maybe will buy some new shoes and spend a John Lewis voucher I got for Christmas.

The issue I have is that I need my iPad (for YouTube/music/podcast etc.) to get to sleep to combat my obsessive thoughts which keep me awake. I need it right up until the point I drift into sleep and by that time I'm too asleep to put it away on the table so I sometimes end up falling asleep on it.

Any solutions are appreciated if anyone has had a similar problem!

@66Mustang oh no, can you watch them on your phone till its fixed? Or use a TV in your room to watch. I think be handy if your bed is by a wall to fix a device on the wall that holds your ipad

So when u fall asleep it won't drop i might get 1 these my self

66Mustang

That's a brilliant idea, thanks, I will definitely look into something like that

I have my laptop while the iPad is getting fixed so that's OK, and long as I don't break that haha!!!

I'll put me rain coat on with a hood. Its 4 cast all day on and off.  It is like that with night shifts, your days off get muddled up too.

Morning @Sandy_123, good morning @lisathomas50 (or is it afternoon, depending on your shift and sleep patterns?)

Hope you're both doing OK and looking forward to a nice day after you've done whatever jobs you've got to do?

Good morning @Sandy_123

What are you up to today?

I am currently at the dentist waiting to go in for a check up

Ross_Alumni

Morning all! 

Hope the check up goes well @66Mustang

66Mustang

Thank you @Ross_Scope

Sandy_123

@66Mustang I having coffee at the moment, then be tottering about the house putting things away, then pop to the shop. Then afternoons mine. 
Good luck at your check up

66Mustang

That sounds like a nice day @Sandy_123

My check up went well but I have been advised to buy an electric toothbrush. There seems to be loads of them on the market all with different features - it is quite daunting to choose one. I will have to do some research into it!
