Retired 8 months now at age 69. I find music a potent tranquilizer for the soul and and escape from mundane pressures. I have napping , or falling to sleep I have been napping, been between the two worlds described by @ghdprentice, or outright falling into a dead sleep since the late 60’s and early 70’s listening to Alison Steel sultry voice discussing and playing classic rock late night on WNEW NY on a pair of Koss Pro 4AAs driven by a Pioneer SX 828. I rarely made it through her program it hear Flying/Beatles before being in dreamland. Fond memories of a simpler time.
Napping while listening
I got this thing where I feel like need a nap so I lay on the floor where I am not to comfortable to fall dead asleep, turn on the rig and usually fire up radio paradise as they have a good eclectic stream. If a track has a good enough hook I can kinda hang and ride on it in this half in/out state. Really fun. Tonight ,Tomorrow Never Knows comes on. Wow , best ride yet, Ringo’s drums. I guess I never realized how he just keeps that same tom/snare beat going through the entire track without a fill or any change. Totally makes the track for me and so trippy hearing it in a dream like state.
