It has been working nearly every night lately, and it’s engaging to listen if you’re awake as well! I love the Orb and this is my favorite thing they’ve done in a while. So, relax and throw this in your headphones, close your eyes and see if this helps ease you into sleepytime. Enjoy~

Diet Pepsi has animated my bones. Everything is grating, nails on chalkboard, annoying me. People I like are making me cringe, toes curl, fists and jaw clenched. Why is everything making me mad? Sometimes it feels like it’s not because I’m tired but because everybody is going out of their way to make me angry. Why are you doing that annoying thing? What business is it of yours? Stop fucking talking. Leave me alone. What the fuck!?! … Oh. Maybe I should sleep. I get like that when I’m hungry but it’s more of a dazed, glassy eyed, push people outta my way to get to the food, best gang way! kinda annoyed. I’m not at that irrational point yet but if I don’t nap soon there the grouch will be in full effect.

It’s an iPhone app that helps me when I’m wound down enough to lie still. It’s undergone a lot of changes but all have been a huge improvement from one version to the next. I think it was 2.99 and it has been well worth it IMO. You can DL sounds ranging from traditional rainstorms and waves to an infinite number of static noises and weird ones like boiler room and busy city street (wouldn’t that stress a person out?) You can designate favorites and even make playlists. I usually put in my go to thunder storm sound “slow rolling thunder” and set a timer for 25min. If it works, when it stops I snap awake but can usually get back to sleep. It won’t run in the background though, so if you want to mess around with twitter or whatever while listening to the rainforests of Brazil, you can’t. You just have to set it and put the damned thing down for a minute. Anyway, for those of you with an iPhone I highly recommend Ambience. It may just do the trick.

Remedies - Old laughable ones, newer actual ones, tapes, etc that are working for some of us?
Dreams - When we DO sleep, what do we dream about? What does it mean?
Pics - related to sleep, dreams, insomnia, stress relief (can we do this here?)
Stress Reduction - Share articles, personal stories/techniques, hobbies…
Drugs - Does anyone take anything to sleep? Prescribed/non… If so what works, what doesn’t, WHY?
Productive things to do when you can’t sleep - ???
I’m awake. Why? - Stream of consciousness style word association entries, timed at 5 minutes?

Ideas, thoughts??
