OT: Sleep

[rvltion909]

It may sound crazy but download Mindwave for your iPod touch or iPhone. I haven't been using it alot lately but it plays binaural tones which trigger specific brain waves. I believe the type of brain waves being emitted during REM is Theta or Delta waves. I noticed when I started listening to it I would wake up earlier then normal. Which was huge for me cause I would sleep in for hours. Wikipedia binaural tones.

You know... these tones have been known to be heard in Tiesto's sets....

i stand corrected.
but wait... no side affects? didnt you start this post? couldnt this suggest a dependence on the melatonin? when did you stop taking them?

Well...yes and no.

It is definitely a choice...sort of. I started this thread as a sort of addict wondering how others cope. I become active at night...I rarely actually have trouble sleeping......since the melatonin. I just DONT initiate the process. I become creatively and mentally active at night...staying up until the wee hours.

I've not stopped the melatonin nor will I...unless I want to stay up tossing, turning and THINKING all night...which is why I started taking them in the 1st place.


but I digress...for now I initiate the sleep process (11:27 PM PST)
