Got to admit the ad on the website for those bose sleepbuds is very good and I might invest in some so I don't have to keep waking the mrs every time shes snoring when I get to bed.

You weren't kidding.
What actual soothing sounds are they? Even though I don't find it soothing, but for some reason I immediately think of whale music.
Whilst they may seem expensive would you pay £200 to be able to sleep well at night? I'd pay 10 times that in a heartbeat. I was a bit sceptical about them as I'm a side sleeper but they're very comfortable and I don't notice I've got them in. It's made a huge improvement to my sleep pattern.
There's (I think) 9 different sounds. There's a couple of water sounds (waterfall and heavy rain shower), wind, camp fire, a 'soothin and a few others that I forget. I use the heavy rain shower one as I've always found it soothing to listen to the rain when I'm trying to sleep.

I'm technically a millionaire now.
I live in Vietnam, the technical term is that you have 'big dong'

Case delivered in January, hence the order with it.

Eventually upgraded to good old 4k, with USB type C for when the new mBP arrives in a week or so. Hooked up to the PC for now.
Only took 5 weeks to arrive.
I'll be taking the mug to work and wearing the top too, even though I'm a Cisco engineer at present.
Huh, a travel mug and polo shirt, what's special about 5 week wait for cheapo gear.

Got some new worktops for my desk and workbench type thing, as well as some new speakers and a better mount for my screen, and had a move around of some stuff.
Much better. Need to move some of the pictures around now though.

Looking good mate!
Bose Sleepbuds.
They're amazing! My partner is a very loud snorer and I can sleep through the night without being woken up. They're expensive but worth every penny as I've had a couple of weeks of amazing sleep.
What happens when you lay on your side?
3m disposable foam plugs are perfect btw 35Db reduction.

Nothing. They carry on working and I still can't tell I'm wearing them. I'm a side sleeper so it's something I was a bit concerned about but they're great.
Foam plugs aren't perfect for me. I'm yet to find a set of plugs that I don't find unbearably uncomfortable after a short while despite ordering a sample box of about 40 different foam plugs. I've got some custom moulded silicone plugs which are very comfortable but the sound isolation isn't good enough.

I think you should reevaluate your sleeping arrangements.

It’s just a bit of worktop space really, there’s probably almost a foot of space under it though and I trim off 3D print supports there and stuff. It keeps that stuff away from my actual desk and keeps the printer away too so I don’t have to worry about jogging it etc.
It’s a bit taller than the average desk, it’s ok to do odd bits while standing.
If it’s more involved I do it at the actual desk.
