#ADHD #AuDHD and #ActuallyAutistic people, I have a question.

Do you listen to music to wind down or fall asleep, if so what kind?

My favorite music types to wind down and fall asleep to are, for some reason, very energetic, high bpm genres, with 90s jungle taking the lead.

For the uninitiated, this is jungle: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DWTv94Wk9KTkJ?si=uO72w4IjS0mHZB4q2a4BZg

I’d like to hear your experience with music and its calming effects on you, so feel free to share.

@dan @actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd @CynAq my second child (now 18) always fell asleep to Megadeth or early Pink Floyd. She's 18 now and still falls asleep to Megadeth. I've been falling asleep to music for 35 years and one of the best things is I get a stronger emotional reaction to songs I've fallen asleep to next time I hear it. It has both waking world and sleeping world associations. at that point. I fall asleep to any type of music, from Apex Twin and The Clash, to Stravinsky and Beethoven. If I like it, it's relaxing
