Your whole generation is fucked if there are enough people who require media to sleep to relate to a post like this. No wonder ya'lls mental illness statistics are through the roof.

"Doctor, I hear voices all the time!"

"What do you do during the day?"

"At work surrounded by people."

"What do you do at home?"

"Watch people converse on TV"

"What about when you sleep?"

"Yeah, I leave it on."

Your generation had to be told not to eat paint chips.

It's their fault for making the paint actually taste like candy.

Lead tastes sweet. Romans added it to wine.

I don't think babies have gotten any smarter over the years. They still eat whatever they get their hands on.

To be fair the generations before us made paint out of lead, so there is that.

It stops the looping thoughts and relaxes me.

I just need media to play as I fall asleep to block out my tinnitus man, my mental health problems are irrelevant to that fact.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago

I'm sure they are, bud.

clinician here, there's no link that I know of between hearing real voices and developing psychosis

But there is a huge correlation between Schizophrenia and Sleep Disorders.

For me it's less a case of 'I need this ambient music to fall asleep', and more a case of 'I enjoy listening to this ambient music and also I can fall asleep to it'.

It's changed a bit for me now, but when I was a teen I used to just whack on whatever I was listening to/enjoying at the time to fall asleep to, be it ambient, death metal, jazz, classical etc.

And as far as listening to people talking goes, that's nowhere near a 'this generation' thing. The sound of quiet voices murmuring on is just a naturally relaxing thing, think of a parent talking to their baby to get them to go to sleep.

I do agree, can't argue there. I don't actually fall asleep to media, but I know people that do.

What we need is some outdoor activity, like hiking, cycling, whatever. I don't think the gym is the right place, it's still indoors. I think we've just lost touch with nature with all these smart devices.
