'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
{{Buffistas}} May this Thursday be a better day.
So far today my biggest defeat is not being able to find a leash. Zoe was not amused when I had my shoes on and plastic bags in my pocket then told her we weren't going anywhere. It is surely in DH's truck, but can't find it. A couple more exist somewhere too. Most peculiar. I do have a fenced in yard so Zoe is okay, but I wanted to walk before it was too steamy.
Ugh, Suzi. What a mess.
I put on one of those binaural beats things to go to sleep last night, and it worked but I woke up as soon as it was over! With a little free-floating anxiety. So that's not the magic bullet for me, at least.
Good luck with all that, Suzi. What a mess.
Aw, poor Zoe.
Interesting, Jesse. I wonder if a different context would prove useful. Like, instead of trying to sleep you used them to relax during a break in the workday or some such.
There are a number of internet stations that stream binaural beats. There is also a YouTube video that goes 8 hours. Maybe look around. I just have it as background white noise while I am working.
eta: if you use YouTube you have to use an ad blocker too

Yeah, I just clicked on the first one that said it was for sleeping, and it was 90 minutes, so maybe I will try again.
Of course, I don't generally have trouble falling asleep anyway, but I hoped the brainwaves would stay settled or something? I can't figure out what to do about waking up at 4am.
Sounds like I should definitely try binaural beats.
Hope I won't be too tired to remember what they're called.
I was thinking the same thing and just marked your post, Theo.
I tried them yesterday too! I liked some of them better than others!
Unfortunately, binaural beats work by sending slightly different sound waves to each ear. And as only one of my ears works, that's not a useful thing for me. On the other hand, tart cherry juice concentrate in seltzer an hour or so before bedtime seems to be working well these days, so I'm good.
amych, I'm sorry about your dad and grandmother-in-law.
That's interesting; I really didn't do any research into the hows or whys of the binaural beats. Just trying anything that doesn't involve medication to get my BP where it should be.
