Nap MP3s

My friend Zach falls asleep waiting for his breakfast to be served.  I am not afforded this luxory.  I became increasingly more aware of this as I traveled on a red-eye flight delayed till early morning.  I sat in a groggy state for hours as I attempted to fall asleep but only nodded off once in a while.  I could’ve used some napping mp3s.

For those wondering how I manage to regulate the duration of my naps, and manage to sleep so soundly at work - I created the most invaluable mp3 I’ve ever possessed.

Dump it to your cellphone, mp3 player or wherever, plug some headphones in, and you have a distraction-less sleep that wakes you up at precisely the right time (or does a very good job at trying).

It consists of white,blue and brown noise followed by light chicken ‘clucking’ and soft rooster crowing. The rooster crowing repeats, getting louder each time. If you sleep through that then it resorts to nastier things like bugles, irish bagpipes, computer tones, explosions, fingers on a chalkboard and a voice telling you to wake up.

The mp3s are available in 5 thru 26 minute durations, so they are only good for a quick recharge.  Perhaps someone should make a 90 minute one for me.  Download the Polynap MP3 Soundtrack for free from Aequus.

    For some reason, I find the fact that they put ‘clucking’ in quotes rather funny.

    This sounds just crazy enough to work though.
