Are you one of those people who lies awake for hours trying to getting to sleep?
Do you toss and turn for hours each night trying to seize just a few idyllic hours in dreamland before the alarm clock wakes you from your forty winks?
If the above sounds like you then read-on as I have a highly original and entertaining solution for you.
And now for the best news of all! It isn’t chemical-based. It’s not illegal. It’s not addictive. Sounds too good to be true doesn’t it?
What is this magical cure for insomnia?
It is the wonderfully enjoyable world of old time radio.. Once I explain a little bit more about old-time radio you’ll understand just why it is so amazingly effective.
One of the reasons many insomniacs struggle to get to sleep is that their mind is too active and can’t reach a restful state. For example, they might be replaying what happened at work that day. It could be worrying about events, past and present. It might be fretting over something coming up. It could be worrying about a loved one or a relationship that has gone bad. There are a thousand reasons and these will vary from person to person.
That’s where old-time radio comes in with a wonderful solution.
The old-time radio shows of the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s quickly take your mind off of whatever is bothering it. Do you remember when you were a young child and your parents would read to you. It is just the same.
You might scoff at this non-scientific solution, but don’t. Give it a try and you’re likely to discover for yourself how effective it is. Before you can count five sheep, you’ll be zzz’ing away.
There are many reasons why old-time radio shows from bygone days are far better than listening to things such as talk radio stations, news radio or even conventional audiobooks.
Firstly, old radio shows have an innocence that makes them like an audio version of chicken soup for the sleepless.
Secondly, the storylines of these radio shows are not too complex and so give your brain a chance to relax.
Thirdly, old radio shows are not dissimilar to meditiation. The brain struggles to hold two thoughts at the same time, so if your mental energy is taken up by the radio show you are listening to, then there’s just no room for worry about events at the office, or other mental distrations.
Fourthly, a typical old time radio show is just thirty minutes long. If you nod off half way through (which is the objective) it’s easy enough to pick up where you left off.
Finally, old-time radio offers something for everyone. It doesn’t matter whether you enjoy a thriller, a slushy romance, a family drama, a comedy or a brain challenging game show. There is just so much to choose from.
So, if you have tried everything and are still finding yourself tossing and turning all night why not give it a go. Get your hands on a selection of old-time radio shows today and put them to the test when you go to bed tonight. What have you got to lose.
Oh, and we can’t forget the one massive benefit over the usual insomnia cures. If these wonderful old time radio shows don’t cure your insomnia at least you’ll be entertained all night.
