Youtube to the Rescue

I have had a terrible time trying to sleep lately. I am worried about those pesky possums getting in and destroying my kitchen. I worry about ailing family members and my kids heading for disaster. I found an app on Youtube. It is rain sounds, ten hours of steady rain. Hidden in it are affirmations about losing weight. I found that the soothing white noise of the rain masks noises coming from outside and I can sleep. There is another with rain and the affirmations are about getting what you want and possibly more for other things. I wonder if it will help me lose weight. Only time will tell.

Something like that. I need to sleep sometimes. Some nights I play Christian music all night or sometimes, some of each.

Hm, they don't sound like something that would lull you off to sleep. I hope they have happy endings.

@Shivram59 Hey, you should go with how you feel about it. There is nothing wrong with these stories if they reduce stress and make you feel good.

I have seen ASMR and I don't understand it at all. It is annoying to me. I don't get the thrill from it that other people get. I don't know why, it is just me.
