Hi,

I was wondering that if I played information through speakers, at night, when I remember it in the morning?

Have any of you actually tried this?

Cheers,
Bozzy

Sounds incredibly, fricking, annoying. How would you sleep for one?

I don't know, I've heard of this sort of stuff before, but it seems like an outdated practice to me. It's not common anymore at all.

I've heard that if you sleep on a book, you'll learn its contents. That's true, because I slept on my workbook once during a math class and I didn't learn anything new. Which would make sense since I never wrote anything in it, and if I did, I would already know it.

Grandma that was so subtle.


It's been proven not to work, but I don't know who or when they did it. I think it was probably Mythbusters.

I've always been afraid to try this kind of stuff.
What if you wake up in the middle of the night and the lights are out. The tape is still running.. but BACKWARDS! AWWWW.

And you can't move, but is fully conscious.
Also the machine is turned off, yet the sound is still playing.
And you could swear you saw something that shouldn't really have been there.

I see. Lukas W, I have got to ask in the name of your own mental health. Have you ever experimented with narcotics?

It would be dangerous to have sound playing in your ears overnight...

Good if it did work though.

I always fall asleep listening to music, never done me any harm.

By way of demonstration, he emitted a batlike squeak that was indeed bothersome.

Lucid dreams is the stuff that really freaks me out. But then again it also sounds pretty cool.

Lucid dreams are cool, sleep paralysis is not.

Shut up. I'm tired. You're making me want to go to sleep, thus making me endure another day of life, thus torture.

Lucid Dreams are indeed cool, but I tend to unintentionally get them and so end up waking up from surprise/excitement which is annoying I tried the MILD thing a while ago but didn't have the consistency to see it through.
