How many of us fall asleep while

How many wake up as soon as the music stops? I do.

A while ago I had a pair of Stax F81F electrostats that sounded so soothing they would lull me to sleep, it was the Yin/Yang thing..I was so happy when awake, and so pissed that I fell asleap and shortchanged the listening session.

I, too fall asleep when listening late at night. Usually it's after a couple of Bombays on the rocks after a long day at work. My wife usually has retired to bed and I've got the volume set on the low side so as not to wake her. I can really get into the music, it's so relaxing that I fall to sleep like a baby. The only unfortunate thing is that I seem to be missing the best parts of the music I was so interested in listening to when I first sat down. As they say, "the night time is the right time".

And I thought I was the only one with this problem. I've fallen asleep in that "sweet spot" before the first track is done! I've finally traded my recliner for a wood rocking chair and I've heard a lot more of the music since. Hard to fall asleep in something you can fall out of! It's a trade-off between extreme comfort and staying awake to hear some music.

Yeah, falling asleep while listening in the sweet spot is great, but for a sure-fire, fast and efficient method to drift into a deep slumber nothing, and I mean NOTHING, beats listening to "Uncle Lou" Ruykeyser on "Wall Street Week" (even in mono)! His soothing monotone, combined with the utterly predictable format of his show, and the oh-so familiar panelists, lulls you into the reassuring belief that all is well with the world, no matter what the ups and down of the stock market. After a hard week at work, I appreciate this to no end. I wake up once the show is over, ready to go to bed.
