I usually have a hard time sleeping in because I live in a busy apartment complex. So pretty much what this means to me is that I work hard all week, and come Saturday, there is always someone outside of my window slamming their car door, talking, or laughing with their friends – at nine in the morning! This is completely unacceptable to me for the weekend time, which is the only time that I have to sleep excessively late and waste my day.
One thing that a friend of mine suggested to try is to download ambient music to my iPod and put it on my iPod dock in my room so that I could have a sleep time playlist. At first, I thought that this would never work for me since I am a pretty light sleeper who loves complete quiet and complete darkness. I even sleep with a sleep mask on! But I was proved completely wrong because I got used to the spa-like environment, and now I can hardly sleep without the tinkling of wind chimes and the sound of babbling brooks. If you too are a skeptic, then this is something that you must try since listening to a sleep time playlist has helped me to add hours to sleeping in on the weekend. So worthwhile!
