RLS: using music to get to sleep

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

There are a group of people from this list who are going to be working with

the sound pillow, during the next few weeks, to see if they can use it as a

tool to get to sleep. In the process of trying out the pillows, they will

also be trying to apply very basic self hypnosis techniques. Whether you

use a sound pillow or earphones, the same techniques and thinking will apply.

I've written up some thoughts, suggestions, and guidelines for making music

(with a pillow OR with earphones) work as a tool to get to sleep, even

during RLS attacks. If you are interested, I posted them for viewing on my

RLS website. You can access it from the main page (go right to the last

link on the page), or you can go right to the page with the music tips:

I know the techniques will not work for everyone. Many have already tried

and discovered it will not work for them, for one reason or another.

PLEASE, do not feel badly if it doesn't work for you. We each find our own

therapies. This is just one that has worked for me, and I've taken the

time to analyze how I've used it and applied it, so I might help others use

it, too.

I just hope something on the website becomes the jem that helps someone out

there get more sleep.
