Problem: I’m being driven mad by voices speaking to me thru white noise. Need white noise to sleep
Psychiatrist today suggested:
- normal human speech has typical rhythm, cadence
- fans, white noise audio files are always looped, rhythms in it
- brain is hearing those patterns as human voices
- I need to introduce staggered rhythms to disrupt
Possibilities:
- Willie Nelson, William Shatner speak with atypical cadence. Play at same time as white noise
- phone app that vibrates atypically
- machine in room that generates atypical rhythms, vibrations
Options, ideas? I’d like not to go further insane
Documentaries. I used to play How Stuff Works at bed time.
Audiobooks, especially text-to-speech ones. I use Pocketbook to read novels to me.
Physical activity. Something strenuous enough to physically exhaust myself once or twice a week makes it a lot easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.
Will check out pocketbook, and how stuff works. Tks
