For the last six weeks I have suffered from pretty serious insomnia, I can never get to sleep before 3.30 or 4. Its starting to drive me nuts. I have tried alcohol, herbal tea, valerian root and medicinal "smoking mixtures" but nothing has worked for me. So I thought I would kill two birds with one stone make a mixtape and try to listen to some tunes that would help me drift off. Fingers Crossed!

No sleep mix would be complete without a track from Chill Out. Maybe I should forget about the mix and just stick this on instead?

Acupuncture for the ears. Sometimes when I cant sleep I hit myself on the head with a big hammer. Four Tet and Nancy and Lee.

Insomnia mixes, like study time mixes, have to be instrumentals that have no "history" associated with them, or the wheels spin even worse and I get distracted from the task at hand.
Great mix. I still have KLF's The White Room on tape. Luv Goldfrapp.

Nice mix. When I can't sleep, I like to read random wikipedia articles -- like unusual first names. Good stuff.

I thought no one remembered KLF! I would play this a lot. I try and use MTC as a sedative as I have a big insomnia problem. It doesn't work, but at least it is something to do.
