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.

Our wings are not tired.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Sounds like I should definitely try binaural beats.

Hope I won't be too tired to remember what they're called.

What is even happening?

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!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

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.

Cherry juice, eh? Intriguing.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Mmmm...cherry juice.

Haven't tried binaural, but melatonin at bedtime (and that means last thing as I turn out the light) helps. I can't always sleep, but at least I can rest.
