Oh LOL Daz re sleeping with your bike!
No idea about the punctures you keep on getting, short of Ady's thought that something small may be embedded in the outer that causes it?
I have used Bontrager Kevlar lightweight tyres on the training bike for years and hardly ever get a puncture. As a matter of fact, less than once a year...
I now use Schwalbe Ultremo's on the Mavic's and same thing, rode over 3000 miles puncture free... then replaced them with some Stevio's, and got a puncture during the TdG... suppose I can't complain though, for lack of punctures... Not sure what caused the last puncture, tiny hole in the tube, no sign of anything in the tyre...
I need to however get a set of spare tubs and some old rims to put them onto, because I may just get a puncture in one of my tubs on the deep section carbon wheels... even though I only use them for racing and TT-ing...
Oh and like Ady, I ride my tyres at 100 psi for training and get them up to 120 ish for racing. I think if you have them too hard you are more prone to punctures. I also find it less comfortable...
