I'm going to try the music/audio book on my creative microzen tonight. What do you listen to if you use this method to fall asleep? Does it work?
Listening to my tapes should work. Sincerely, Spoiler I kid! I never have tried this. Please report back on what works and what doesn't, sir.
I can't do it. It makes my mind active which results in no sleep. I'll sleep with the TV on but the volume has to be low enough so that all I hear are mumbles and I can't actually make out what's being said.
My college roomate swore up and down that if he listened to a new music album while he slept, he would learn all the lyrics in a couple days. I tried it but it never worked for me.
My ideal sleep environment is no t.v. or lights on! I hate light and sound when i'm trying to fall asleep. Once i'm asleep I don't care.
Ditto. Though watching action movies or cop movies aren't generally a good idea - the flashing always keeps me up.
Medic Wade: Actually, the trick to falling asleep is trying to stay awake. - Saving Private Ryan truer words have never been spoken. i fall asleep within minutes when i'm trying to stay awake to read a book or watch a show.
I'm also a no light, no sound guy. I usually read random CNN articles on my phone if I can't fall asleep. It usually does the trick in 5-10 minutes.
I like leaving the the tv on, but I know it delays my sleep. Personally, reading a book (in complete silence) will put me in the most relaxed/likely to sleep mood. Even if it's a good book, I'll still feel sleepy, and then the only choice is to force myself to keep reading or just go to sleep.
for the last 15+ years i've always gone to sleep listening to sports talk radio... i can'f fall asleep without it anymore...
Get a Sleep Number bed. Now that I have one, I go to sleep instantly and wake up feeling like I have been drugged... it is that good!
it has gotten to the point where i can't just jump into the bed and fall asleep right away...i have to read something or watch tv...amazingly, i can fall asleep watching tv, even when watching csi miami. i guess every person is different when it comes to falling asleep.
I fell asleep last night watching TV. Which I hardly ever do because I hate waking up to infomercials in the middle of the night. So, I'm having a dream about fishing. Of course, since it's a dream, it doesn't really make much sense, but I'm fishing for salmon at this guy's ranch in Missouri and he suggests trying some lures he has in a tackle box. I grab the ones he suggests and then he says I can have them for 3 easy payments of $57.95. I look at him like he's crazy, then I wake up an see some infomercial trying to sell me something for 3 easy payments of whatever the amount was. Damn infomercials.
