Sleeping pills and Trance

[ukeboi]

Okay so I like have sleeping problems and such. So I sometimes take sleeping pills, I also have been using my files on repeat over night in addition to listening to them during the day.

My question is will they like effect each other at all, and shou8ld I like not trance the nights I take them?

I want you to immediately discontinue using your files on repeat overnight.

Stop it.

Let your sleep be sleep. And that means EVERY night, regardless of the medication you take.

Having a bedtime "ritual" is important. A bedtime ritual is a consistent set of actions that preceed bedtime. Ritual is important because it establishes habit... a signal to your subconscious mind that it's time for sleep.

You're free to incorporate anything you like into a bedtime ritual - like 3/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i minutes of trance. But then switch it off and give sleeping your full attention.

I would agree that it is a very bad idea to ruin your sleep with a constantly playing loop. That would be especially true if you already have problems sleeping, but I believe it to be good advise for everyone. If you are sleeping soundly enough that a constantly playing file doesn't disturb your sleep it is probably not doing anything anyway.

If you are trying to overcome a sleep disorder then it is very good advise to have a "bedtime ritual" so as to create a "habit."

If you have no trouble sleeping I would not recommend that. Creating a ritual and habit could very well make you dependent on that ritual and habit. You could develop a sleep disorder where you did not have one before. Should you find yourself in a situation where you cannot adhere to your ritual your habit may prevent you from going to sleep.

Seems to me that those with no problem sleeping are better off leaving well enough alone. Just a thought.
