Give this user a cats butt for being correct.

I was a big fan of the body modification scene when I was younger. Now I'm approaching my 40 my piercings have all been removed except these ear stretches.

Do I regret them? No I still quite like em.

I shined a torch in my wife's sleeping face this morning at 5am.

I didn't mean to, I was looking for my ear tunnel, it had fallen out in the night and I didn't want to go a day at work with a cats arsehole for an ear lobe.

I looked for my spare ones first, I really didn't want to be that guy, I'm a night person.

Anyway I sent her this and she had to remind me I was a bastard.

She's right.

I've done all the shifts and it fucking sucks.

We did week about shifts. That meant earlies for a week, nights, then lates. Every week you had to change your sleep pattern.

I liked earlies to nights because long weekend (finish 11am Fri start 10am Mon) and a fun "adaptation" that required me to stay up as late as I possibly could on Sunday night. I'd drink, smoke and play games with US chums (UK here) until 3 or 4am and then sleep as late as possible.

It fucking sucked but I did it for a good decade. Then managed to wangle permanent 6-2 shift.

It was a revelation.

Suddenly I had a regular sleep pattern. It was hard to train, but I managed to get a good 6 hours a night most nights. Which was good, I've always suffered insomnia for lots of reasons, so I managed to become one of those people that survives on minimal sleep. More sleep was amazing.

I've kind of got it down nowadays, thanks in no small part to some pills I was given for my restless legs. They make me drowsy, so if I take them at the right time I can force a sleep pattern, and they stop me kicking my wife up the arse when I'm asleep.

Back to your point after a trip through the weeds, I now do 2 week late shift and 2 week early shift, there's a permanent night shift at this new place.

When I'm on the early shift I wake up at 5am on the Saturday and Sunday without fail. Once I forgot to set my alarm for work and woke up a minute before it should have gone off. Years of the early shift have honed my wake up time to a knife edge.

Sometimes on the weekend I can't get back to sleep for various reasons, so it's not an uncommon sight to find me gaming on my PC at 7am on a Sunday morning. I don't want to be there, but it's kinda nice having the peace and quiet of being a night owl with the sun up and a sleep cycle behind instead of in front of you.

Was he wealthy or wise?

The whole family was adamant it was possession, then at the end one brother casually revealed his mum was drugging them throughout their childhood for a bit of peace and quiet, and that he had looked into the affects and it was hallucinations and shit. Other kids denied it all

Yeah I may have got the name wrong lol. It was a documentary about the only murder trial in US history that tried to use possession as a defence

I'm sure this was the story line to "The Demon Within" or whatever it was called on Netflix. Kids thought they were possessed by the devil and one of them murdered somebody, but it turned out Mum was drugging them all with sleeping aids in their dinner every night and the cumulative effects were possession by the Devil

I just upgraded mine from an old Apple one to a newer Pixel one, which has a sturdier loop on it.
