(OT) Sleeping Better!
I got a birthday present for myself!
The old-timers to this ng know I've suffered from insomnia for years. Valerian Root capsules seem to help. Melatonin tablets work but give me very vivid sometimes disturbing dreams. Years ago I had a "sound machine". I won a gift certificate from some drawing at work to Sharper Image. So I went there and got a sound machine. It had about 6 sounds... the ocean, rain, outdoors (crickets and frogs), yada yada yada. (There was also a heartbeat, but that was meant for babies or puppies or something.) I had the machine back in 1998 or so. Fast forward to my having to move here. The sound machine sat there, unused, for a couple of years. There used to be frequent power outages when I lived in TN. The power would go off for no reason at all on a bright, sunny day. And while I remembered to unplug all my little appliances I completely forgot about that one. So at some point the sound machine got zapped. I ordered a new one for myself for my birthday. Oh this thing is so cool! It has more sounds, and you can add to the complexity of the sound (or just go with the basic sound). For example, if you select "rain" you can add distant rumblings of thunder. I don't know about you, but I sleep very well during a thunderstorm! If you select "ocean", you can add a foghorn off in the distance. Last night I chose "meadow". It's the sound of peepers (small frogs) and crickets. But if you up the anty, you also get the sound of wind blowing through tall grasses and the occasional call of a loon or a whipoorwill http://www.google.com/products/catal...d=0CFcQ8gIwAA# http://tinyurl.com/3jynyg6 I have slept better in the last two nights than I have in the last 30 years. I love this sound machine! Jill |
