apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I remember summer 05 - fall 05, I had a graveyard schedule. Of course a quiet room, a pitch black room and telemarketer off-hours were luxuries I didn't even think of being able to afford, so I did the next big thing. I went to sleep with music, in particular Ministry of Sound: The Chillout Sessions Volume 7, Disc 1. For a good 5 months I'd just do whatever I needed to do in the morning, popped the disc in repeat and as soon as I hit song #5-7 I was deep asleep. Also during winter, for a few nights I'd put my iTunes to Coldplay in very low volume and drift to sleep. I don't think it was a miraculous change or the best way to sleep for everyone for eternity, but it worked and strangely enough I still hear a few of the songs in the MOS COSV7 cd and feel VERY VERY sleepy and relaxed. I can't help but being reminded of the dog/meat/bell behavioral experiment, but when you don't have any other choice, a good night (or day's) sleep is so much more delicious than meat. I'll try the software and see how it worked.
