Try this approach: (#3 is different from the original instructions, also see the suggestions at the end)

  1. Turn off your TV/Monitor
  2. Get yourself a damp washcloth, so that you don't scratch your screen.
  3. Take a household pen, pencil, or some other sort of instrument with a focused, but relatively dull, point. A very good tool would be a PDA stylus.
  4. Fold the washcloth to make sure you don't accidentally puncture it and scratch the screen.
  5. Apply pressure through the folded washcloth with the instrument to exactly where the stuck pixel is. Try not to put pressure anywhere else 5. While applying pressure, turn on your screen.
  6. Remove pressure and the stuck pixel should be gone.

*This works as the liquid in the liquid crystal has not spread into each little pixel. The liquid is used with the backlight on your screen allowing different amounts of light through, which creates the different colors.

Here's a suggestion I pulled of a tech support forum:

If the pressure doesn't work directly on the stuck pixel, start moving outward around the stuck pixel. If you see the pixel flicker while doing this then you know where you can focus the pressure rather than directly on the pixel.

Many people report success with this technique, but these instructions won't work in every case. It may take a few attempts to make sure you are pressing exactly on the stuck pixel. An alternative, but similar technique involves gently massaging the stuck pixel with a warm damp (not wet) soft cloth.

Holy fucking shit this whole thread makes me happy about tipping culture where I live. Here tipping is a "thanks" for a job well done, not something mandatory and expected even before service. OP sounds like other peoples food temperature is the only thing he has control of in his life.

You’re fighting an uphill battle. Dealing with the symptoms of minimal sleep will never be as effective as addressing the underlying issue.

I suggest the following:

Exercise 4-6 hours before you want to fall asleep. Only lay on your bed when going to sleep. Instead of counting sheep or thinking about anything, practice taking deep breaths, as many as are necessary. Quit caffeinated beverages 8-12 hours before bed.

Best of luck

To save 3000£ in 12 months you need to generate 250£ a month. If you were living with your parents and working 50 hours a week for I assume minimum wage... how in the world did you manage to only generate 250£ if I may ask? (I assume you live in the UK)

It also means he might have narcissistic tendencies or fully is one and can put yourself at risk of an abusive relationship especially when stressed out if that person doesn’t seek out therapy to learn to better self-reflect on how their actions can affect others.
