    NGL, in a pinch get a good nature sound app and pop in the earbuds and just crash out on the sofa and listen.

    I have been using one called Naturespace for a decade and it’s glorious. Best track is called The Imaginarium. Whoa.

      I’ve been using a mix of nature sounds to help fall asleep for years. If I’m having a particularly rough night, I’ll play some repetitive calm music I’m super familiar with as well, EQ’d to just be barely audible through the nature sounds. ADHD brain uses all the extra energy that would be keeping me up spinning ideas around to tune one or the other of the “two” audios out and I’m out pretty quick.

      I use a version 1.3.3 of an app from F-Droid, Noice, for the nature sounds. Later versions added premium features and load the audio from a remote server. That’s the last version with everything local.

      PowerAmp for the music. Took the “Soft” EQ preset to keep any “sharp” sounds from coming through and lowered the overall volume of it, then applied it to a specific “chill/sleep” playlist I made.

      Both apps have sleep timers so they can shut off automatically after a set time.

    It’s definitely good for people who struggle with a wide array of mental health issues, and is good prophylaxis against the same.

        My immediate assumption is that any observations made by me are meaningless noise and that I should avoid making them unless I see something really weird. But that could also be a problem because then it looks like shiny Caterpie is really common in this area while the regular one is rare. Do you know what behavior the creators of the app prefer?

    My stand mixer would cry trying to make 48 cookies in a go. I’ll stick with 24 and eating them all up then making more!

      I read it as 48-hour chocolate chip cookies. I make those often actually. I find with my recipe especially the 48-hour rest really helps the cookies flavor. It’s been fun. Experimenting.
