I actually listen to a relaxation tape every night. Not this one, though. It's one from the early 1980s. I pretty much have it memorized and usually I just have to listen to the first 2 minutes and I'm out. "Begin today by settling back comfortably, get as comfortable as you can, and shut off the tension, all over your body." and so on. After listening to this, I may never sleep again.Your tension has been exterminated. EXTERMINATED!!
HA. Sorry. I don't listen to a "relaxation tape," but per cW's suggestion I have been listening to this guided meditation 3-4 times a week. I love it. I highly recommend trying it out
Is the one you use available on Youtube? Promising beginning. I've become dependent on this, 5 mg of melatonin and 3 benadryl:
Speaking of YouTube relaxation and sleep inducers, I'll often put on an Alan Watts lecture. This has to be one of the most recorded guys of his time. Must be 1000's of them. Well worth listening to while alert I'm sure, but I find I drift off pretty quickly if reclining.
