Those who know me know that I listen to a wide range of music. Everyday. The iPod is probably the most used thing I own. I like everything from Classic Rock, to Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Folk Metal, Punk, Rap, and everything in between. Bands like Queen, Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, Rammstein, Korpiklaani, Flogging Molly, DMX, Marilyn Manson and Metallica. Of course, I like certain bands more then others but I generally listen to my iPod on 'Shuffle'.
Pandora.com has helped me discover bands too. I discovred Korpiklaani and The Dropkick Murphys through listening to the Flogging Molly station, for instance. I listen to certain music when I am doing certain things. My 'Irish' Music helps me write. My 'Heavy' Music helps me when I'm playing video-games.
I have trouble trying to sleep. I'll lay in bed for hours before sleep finally claims me, no matter how tired I am. I've tried all sorts of things to try and correct it. The activity of the day, the food i eat, none of that effects my sleep, so its not like i'm eating sugar right before I'm going to bed. I just can't sleep. I think its some sort of chemical imbalance, and the brief time I took Ambien, it still took me about an hour to fall asleep but i was at least able to sleep a good solid 6 - 8 hours with out waking up.
Thats the other thing, you see. I have trouble falling alseep and I have trouble staying asleep. The slightest noise, the slightest light change, anything, will wake me up. Its why I can't sleep in in the morning. Once the sunrises, I might as well get out of bed too. I also don't like wasting the day away by staying in bed until noon, like some people I know. By the time you get up, the day is half over and you've missed out on a lot.
But music, i think, helps me. I listen to it as I lay in bed and sometimes fall asleep with it going on. The only bad thing about this is that i'll wake up an hour or two later because the music is still playing. It helps me focus, and I listen to it all day on the weekends, whenever I am sitting at my computer. I can't deal with quiet when I am awake.
The Dropkick Murphys, the most recent band I've discovered, are pretty awesome. Love the lyrics, love the music. Heres a sample of what they're all about, though this song is rather calm compared to the rest:

My name is Cherise Kenner and i would like to show you my personal experience with Ambien.
I have taken for 1 years. I am 57 years old. Works great if I take it on an empty stomach, and get right into bed. If you take it and try to keep yourself awake, you can override the pill and be up all night.
Side Effects :
None.
I hope this information will be useful to others,
