‘Sleep’ing with Max Richter: Month 9

So, this whole project is just part of my life now,, and it feels really nice. I think I have sleep down to a science. I guess you could say I'm "sleepmaxxing", but not in a douchey way. Which is good, because I'm about to take 4 trips in 31…

‘Sleep’ing with Max Richter: Month 8

Some things happened this month, y'all: One night the speaker died mid-sleep. One night my watch wasn't charged enough to wear to bed. I had the lowest Sleep Score of my friggin' LIFE. The night my speaker died mid-sleep was a restless one. I kept waking up and lying there…

‘Sleep’ing with Max Richter: Month 7

I know this is kind of late. That's partly because I've had a lot of stuff going on this month already. There's more where that came from, too. Yesterday, I took myself out to the Baller game. (yes, I mean BALLER game.) (and also, if we're being honest, Mickey bought…

‘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.…

Heathers, Widows, Merritt, Litt (Things I Loved: June 2026)

First off, the title of this blog post sounds like a very prestigious law firm. One that probably specializes in creative divorces, I'm thinking (that's where Widows comes in). However, a law firm is NOT among the things I loved this month. A singular lawyer or two might be, though.…

An Evening with Max Richter (No Sleeping Involved)

My musical love affair with Max Richter began with “The Leftovers”, which is a show that I watched multiple times during a time when my life changed in a big way. So, sometimes I say, “This show changed my life,” because it feels like it did. And a large part…

‘Sleep’ing with Max Richter: Month 5

In two weeks, I’ll be seeing Max Richter live, and I cannot believe it, y’all. It’s gonna feel so surreal. I listened to the two albums he’ll be conducting on my way down to Canton, Ohio. There are some pieces from “The Leftovers” as well as the incomparable “On the…

‘Sleep’ing with Max Richter: Month Three

Welp, this was a month for the books. I got my first 100% sleep score, and then the month went to shit. I’m still discovering more and more about this massive work of art every night as I wake up at different times in the night and hear different nuances…

‘Sleep’ing with Max Richter: Month Two

Two (well, two plus) months into this, and my sleep is going pretty wonderful, which you will see when I reveal my monthly sleep scores. There have been no perfect scores yet, but I feel like it'll happen soon enough. If you have no idea what is happening in this…
