For several nights, I tried to listen to Pride and Prejudice, Uncle Tom’s Cabin and Emma. Every time, I fall asleep before the first chapter is finished, I dreamed that our family were characters in each of the novels. This was rather frightening, since most of my dreams consist of task related chores like grocery shopping, etc., so I haven’t listened to it anymore. On a better note, tho….

Our 8 year old, who also has trouble turning off his brain to go to sleep, used the Zen for two nights, listening to some Native American Music. He went out like a light. There are now 3 Zens on the list for Christmas and we’ve already gotten the MP3 Speaker Pillows for them to hold. We aren’t going to put any books on the players, just soft music, as I don’t want them fearful to go to sleep because of a visit from a wolf or something.
