Title: App of the Day

binaural beats for brain entrainment

3 modes: focus, relax, sleep

works best with headphones/buds.

About to try it out after hearing an agency guy makes 100 mins/day for focus mandatory for employees. Reading around, sounds pretty good.

I'll update at some point.

Does any of this stuff actually work? I've always been skeptical, but never really given it a go myself.

We bought a white noise Sleep cd years ago (now ripped). The cover said something about "D Waves" or somesuch. It damn near knocks Louise out. She has to struggle to wake up if it's still on in the morning. She likes sleeping with white noise, but she avoids that one because it makes here feel so groggy.

Me, maybe a little better sleep, but I do feel weirdly groggy after using it.  We've moved on to stock stuff in the android apps now.

Reading this, I cannot help but think of this, from one of my favorite novels, Deepness in the Sky, but Vernor Vinge
