Back in my days of driving home late at night from gigs, I always tried to stay away from listening to the Public Radio program Echoes – if there’s something to put you asleep, that’s it! So the other night I get home late from work (pledge drive, uck), and Adrienne’s in bed, with the squeezebox tuned in to none other than Echoes (“with John DiLiberto”). See, she’s trying to drown out the street noise/bands/stupid people and get to sleep. Wouldn’t you know it, they start doing an interview, so instead of the spacey quiet music, it’s talky-talk. Not too conducive to sleep. So I go to the extras section of the squeezebox, and pull up, in the ‘natural sounds’ category, some ocean waves. The last couple of nights we put the squeezebox on sleep mode (just like your clock radio), playing ocean waves or thunderstorm. It’s quite relaxing. Hmm, I think I need to budget for a squeezbox in the bedroom…
