3hrs 'babysitting' an 11yo (aka feeding and playing oculus with him)
1hr with his mum and adult sibling.
I feel like my brain is dripping out my ears, my skin is crawling, sound hurts and the heating smells.
I'm going to lie in the dark for a bit.
What do you folks do?
A dark room is good but it doesnt stop the brain. Ive found listening to a music track which sufficiently drowns out/overlays the "firing synapse" feeling is helpful. I discovered Bentley Rhythm Ace are good for this. The right level of repetitiveness, beat and intense noiseness. I found sometimes, rather than trying to sooth myself, to meet my brain's match head on by listening to music like this. Conversely I find classical music can help as it doesn't have words, I find it more soothing if I need it.
I remember their hit; from 1997.
Also, they remixed 'Sun hits the Sky' by Spuergrass; I have it from an LP reissue of 'In it for the Money.
I didn't know they had remixed supergrass. I have one of their albums from around that time. Sun Hits The Sky....takes me back! Good intro
