listening at home shile sitting down or laying down on a bed are always the best time, when operating heavy machinery a car or any kind of power tools whether gasoline or elctric or even deisel powered machinery, is always a bad idea as it puts you into harm's way and you are not going to be alert enough to take action in oder to avoid something serious, ie. a car accident, cutting off a limb, getting stuck or even killed inside of machinery with moving parts, etc... when at home or even in a hotel room, you are not putting yourself in danger, at work, even if sitting at a computer, you may not get your work done in time and risk being fired, specially if caught as to everyone else, you may appear to be sleeping on the job. those on this site are giving you those warnings for your own good. trust me. i do not even listen when i am going under a car to make repairs as i need to be wide awake and alert in case the car falls off its supports so i can catch it to keep it from crushing me as the cars i repair here at the house weigh 1 3/4 - 2 metric tons, and if i am not awake to put my hands up and hold the car off me long enough to yell for help so someone will put a jack under the thing to remove it from me due to being tranced by a file, then i would most certainly die from being crushed, and a 2 metric ton vehicle is not something you want to go off the road and wake up in the top of a tree bleeding to death because you were in trance and lost control.
as for the radio, yeah, i listen to the radio in my car, if not, the humming sound of that slant-six will put me to sleep behind the wheel, the radio drownds out the engine's humming.
