‘Sleep’ing with Max Richter: Month 6

It’s been six months since I started this project and a lot has changed:

• I have no shame about it at all anymore.
  • I just head to bed, turn on my speaker, and hit “play” on “Sleep” by Max Richter.
    • Most nights, Spotify has it already cued up for me.
  • Not even on the OOO OOO OOOs.
    • I don’t brace for them anymore.
    • I don’t try to fall asleep before them.
    • I just flow with them
• It’s not a novelty anymore.
  • It’s just part of my life.
  • I don’t think this playlist will unbecome part of my life after this year-long project is over.
  • It’s staying, y’all.
• I have deep, long dreams now.
  • I have deep, long trouble remembering them once I wake up, though.
  • Sometimes I try to go back to sleep “real quick” so I can get back to the dream.
  • I will have to work on a method for better remembering these dreams.
    • Do you have any suggestions?
• Quiet volumes make me sleep better.
• I try not to wake up until the playlist is complete.
  • I often fail at
