Sleeping with the Dis (G-rated)

[PA.DISNEY.FAN]

I love listening to the podcasts, but I have actually reached the point where I NEED to listen to fall asleep. My husband finds this amusing and calls That Guy ( Pete) my "second husband". I am obviously enjoying the archives, I just hope I don't run out of material. Luckily, we are vacationing in the World from June 13-24, and I can listen to my favorite podcast in my favorite place. Thanks for adding a little "magic" to our lives.

I too am trying to keep up wih podcasts. I'm going back to the archives after I listen to the current weeks podcast. I'm actually listening to the 2/20/07 podcast right now.

You are certainly not the only one to "sleep with the DIS"!

I set my iPod to turn off in 15 or 30 minutes. The familiar voices lull me to sleep. Yes, even Pete's rants! The next morning, I rewind and often find that only heard five minutes of the show before I fell asleep.

I then go for a two mile morning walk and catch up on what I missed.

Time to get my iPod and earbuds. It is time for bed!

I also "sleep" with the podcast playing. I am going back and listening to the archive shows as well.

Are you saying the podcast puts you to sleep

 

[Gigi22]

Me too! I just start playing the podcast on my computer at night, and I fall asleep. Just soooo relaxing.

Add me to the list.

So funny...I've done the same on occassion and it's hilarious for me when I start laughing in the dark...not so funny for DH, though!

so your saying they bore you to sleep

 

[DebbieT11]

Wow! I was afraid that I was the only person that did this... didn't wanna offend the gang by telling them that they quite *literally* put me to sleep.... but it's in such a good way! The entire podcast lasts me about a week.... so it works out just right.

so your saying they bore you to sleep

No, no!
Not at all!
I am so tired at night, but sometimes too tired to fall asleep.
So I listen. And five - ten minutes later, I am usually asleep.

Are you saying the podcast puts you to sleep

Well, yes.
They are familiar and soothing voices at the end of the night.
Then I listen again on my morning walk.

Never listen to them in the car, in case they put me to sleep while I am driving.

Just to clarify, I listen to the DIS often (car rides, cleaning, and sometimes even while I'm reading- love to multi-task). I, in no way, meant to imply that it was boring- actually the opposite- (doubt you can be addicted to something that's boring). I equate the DIS podcasts to a security blanket that allows me RELAX and return to my "happy place" every night.
Sorry If I offended anyone

BTW: Geez, you'd have thought that I wanted to lend my annual pass to a friend; who was going to park at a resort (remembering to fill up her refillable cup from 2003); before taking a bus over to Disney World (Magic Kingdom), to lead a Tour Group of breast-feeding moms through the fast pass line while taunting people in the stand-by lines. (Yes, I do read the boards WAY TOO OFTEN!)

Gotta love the DIS!

i do this too! it's not so much that they are *boring*, it's more that hearing the talk about Disney and focusing ON Disney helps me shut my brain off from everything else, and finally relax & sleep! i also think the DISUnplugged podcasters have the best tone & pacing out of all of them.

my other favorite "go-to-sleep"cast is Stuff You Should Know, by HowStuffWorks.com

Count me in! I had a roommate last year who thought it was acceptable to yell at her boyfriend over the phone in our room while I was trying to sleep. I put on the podcast to drown her out, but now I can't sleep without out! I like to listen to the older episodes because I love hearing Bob. My roommates accuse me of giggling in my sleep- I think it's from the podcast!

I'm relieved to hear that someone else listens to the Pods at night as I do. I was reluctant to say!
