Hmmm this is interesting. I stopped playing music or the news in the background when I got ready for work since the summer because I felt like it muddled my already tired brain. And no longer turn on tv or play music as part of my post work decompression; and this really put this perfectly! Who knew playing background sound unsettled the mind.
I also find if I’m already struggling to sleep, no amount of relaxing music helps me fall asleep - I think about the music scales etc. So like you, I’ve been rawdogging sleep 😂
“I also find if I’m already struggling to sleep, no amount of relaxing music helps me fall asleep…” 😅. I feel you—music that has now turn to stress, what’s the point? Lol
But love this, glad you’re reaping tangible benefits from the new habit.
Such a nice read Ed. I stopped going for walks with earphones. I don't know if I am as strong as MJ to get ready for the day without any back ground noise. I rawdog my sleep though😂.
If only you could both see my Popeye mental muscles 😅 (brain on rawdogging spinach)
Re: music and sleep stress - I read a research paper about how certain types of music (or unfamiliar music specifically) can become a focal point and prevent you from sleeping.

Thank you! That’s still dope. Hopefully you’re seeing the benefits of rawdogging your sleep lol.
And yeah, MJ is on something 😅. It seems we’re both learning from her lol

😂, send MRI scan lol.
Also, please share the research paper if you’re able to find it. Sounds insightful. Thanks!
