WILDing with morning news?

WILDing with morning news ?

Hi friends !

Have you tried to WILD while listening to radio news?

I thought this might be a good experiment because lately i have experienced a few accidental LDs after waking up to hear morning news ( WBTB ? ) and then returning slowly to sleepiness while adjusting the radio volume accordingly, always remaining in bed.

It seems that listening someone talking on the radio ( not to mention TV  ) makes me sleepy, i just found out  :D . I think most people have the same tendency... and so this might work for people who have a hard time falling back asleep after WBTB.

See ya  ;)

I've noticed that I sometimes incorporate radio into my dreams in the morning. Never had a WILD from that though. NPR (National Public Radio) is perfect for this. The bumper music and the way they talk puts me to sleep.

Where I dreaming lay amazed
When the secrets all are told
And the petals all unfold
When there was no dream of mine
You dreamed of me.

I'm too nosy to think this would work for me.  Have turned my alarm into my watch alarm, as it is annoying enough to get me moving, instead of listening to the CBC(think public radio) morning news, like I used to as I would continue to listen instead of getting up immediately...

I cannot stand the music they play on NPR. first thing in the morning, its like the most obnoxious things you could possibly here Hear.

It's not music I would choose to listen to for enjoyment purposes.

Used to pick that up sometimes when I lived close to the Canadian border. It is similar to public radio in the US.

That does happen sometimes. Depends on what they're talking about and how sleepy I am.
