Hey guys I am trying to build a "sleep" timer that would basically set an output high as soon as a momentary pushbutton is pressed and hold it high for 6 hours, then releasing the output and remaining low until the pushbutton is pressed again.
After some research I came up with the 4060 timer IC however all I can seem to figure out is how to make the thing go high after the timed interval, IE high after 6 hours as opposed to what I need high straight away (on pushing "sleep button") and then back to low after the "sleep" time has elapsed.

any ideas or assistance is greatly appreciated. Cheers
