When I was working (I retired a few months ago) at the end of a long day I would sit in my recliner, start enjoying music and frustratingly fall asleep as my enjoyment was starting to peak. Something about removing stress that allows fatigue to emerge. Retirement has solved that problem. I highly recommend it.
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.

@mahler123 I have 5 years and 10 months till retirement and I think about it every single day. Can;t wait to join the ranks. |
I am 67 with no plans of retiring. I don't think I've ever felt like napping when I listen. If I am that tired, I will usually refrain from listening, or keep it short. Also, most of the music I listen to is not really conducive to falling asleep to. It tends to require a certain level of focus, and concentration. Much of it is not exactly 'easy listening'. |
@simonmoon I certainly get that. Usually when I sit down for a real listening session it involves content that I would never have on while doing the aforementioned. Like Jazz.
I'm 66 and no plans to retire either. |
