Sleeping problems? FF Music CAN Help!

I've got problems sleeping and something I tried the other night helped quite a bit.. I opened up winamp and loaded all FF9 songs into the playlist. I deleted all the ones I found too loud and non-relaxing.

This was my list.

Jesters of the Moon
Memories Erased from the Storm
Vivi's Theme
Vamo Alla' Flamenco
Stolen Eyes
Your Warmth
Awakened Forest*
Memories of that Day*
Eternal Harvest
Frontier Village Dali*
Ice Caverns*
Limited Time*
Song of Memories*
Aloha De Chocobo
At South Gate Border
Fairy Battle
Burmecian Kingdom
A Face Forgotten*
Garnet's Theme*
Cleyra Settlement
Extraction
Loss of Me
Fossil Roo*

These songs all helped me sleep but the ones I found most effective are the ones with * beside them

My Favourite 2 would have to be Awakened Forest as that was like a constant lullaby to me, and helped me drift off quite suddenly.
Memories of that Day also calmed and relaxed me.

I know it may sound strange but if you have these songs and do find trouble sleeping, it may be worth a shot. There are some songs like this in all final fantasies, you just have to find which ones relax you most :)

I used to do that all the time when I had sleeping problems.

It does work doesn't it :) Relaxes you.

I dont do it with FF music because it makes me want to stay up to hear the whole song. I just use nature sounds, native American flute music, and such.

I do have some FF music mixed into my Sleep Library on my iPod. "Sandy Badlands" from FFVII OST, and "Fisherman's Horizon" from FFVIII: Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec is a lethal sleep combination. :)

When I was stressed out in college, I used to listen to those to help me fall asleep. Very effective. :)

Glad I'm not the only one who likes it then.. I was afraid some one was gonna call me a freak for doing it lol. *waits for insults to arise on this thread* mmmm *shoots insults with a Bubble gun :D

Yeah, Fishermans Horizon in the Fithos soundtrack is incredibly relaxing. It's still not as good of a stress reliever when compared to GTA: San Andreas ;)

Yuna's Ballad from X-2 is preety good
