    Can you really not sleep without music?

    I CAN, it's just sufficiently unpleasant that I'd rather not.

    And gyro, the only good white noise I have is a fan, it's 23 F outside, so that's out.

    I'm not looking for a way to sleep, I'm looking for something interesting to do while awake.

    How do you feel when you wake up?
    I've always heard that falling asleep with some attention grabbing noise like music or the television actually robs you of restfulness because your brain ends up paying attention to it while you snooze.
    I don't know the science behind it, but I always feel terrible and tired if I fall asleep with the TV/music on.

    Hi Dave,

    no computer with a sound output device or a computer and an mp3 playing device at hand? You can model a noise signal source and an mp3 decoder with scilab or matlab to spend your time.

    Regards

    Just don't point the fan at yourself.
    I use a fan year round, when it gets really cold I just point it away from me.

    it's more restful with music, also, my dreams get a nice compressed time soundtrack (as you do not dream in real time) sometimes the music that will play the hole length of the dream loops (unless I've not heard the song before, in which case, it repeats what has happened, in longer and longer loops)

    or it plays the music real time, so it sounds VERY slow (this happens more with streets of laredo than any other song)

    If I don't go to sleep with like a fan, music or tv on I get this awful ringing in my ears that just gets louder and louder.

    I prefer music, though. I always wake up fine unless sometimes turns it off. That wakes me up.

    I fall asleep to music too.
    Mostly because music is louder than my thoughts and that's good.
