The only reason I wanted MIDIs was because I like to use my keyboard to play the music for me, as I don’t have any PCs or Hi-Fis in my room (might get a laptop soon though). The music would usually wake me in the night though, and I’d wake up tired in the morning because it prevented me from going into a deep sleep.
I used earphones because my brother kept complaining about the music. On my wireless earphones though (infra-red ones), White Noise is almost as loud as the tune. My brother then told me that white noise is known to be good for going to sleep. I’ve tried it, and am giving it the big thumbs up . I just switch of my keyboard and infra-red transmitter, and listen the the quiet white noise from the earphones. Very relaxing.
It’s true that white noise can relax you fairly effectivly. I use a fan to achieve the same results. I wonder why people seem to be able to sleep easier when there is some abmbient noise in the room?
I think it’s because it helps block your hearing senses, i.e if you hear a constant noise, it blocks out other noises, plus as it is constant you eventually don’t know it’s there. The less senses you have operating, the easier it is to get to sleep.
You should try some psychedelic ambient. Some tracks really make my skin crawl. Solar Quest - Trisine is BY FAR the most relaxing sound I’ve ever heard, but it’s hard to find.
Psytrance is also very good for chilling.
