iPod ShuffleI've been having some sleep trouble lately. Mainly drifting off to sleep. It's been a while now, and it's been made more problematic since I've been sick. Years ago I used to listen to music on a timer, but now I don't want to bother SWMBO and possibly keep her awake, so what to do? I decided that a tiny (and they are tiny) iPod Shuffle with 2 Gigs of memory would be all I would need. It's small, the earbuds are no worse than earplugs, and I can choose what music I want to listen to. There's a huge price jump from the Shuffle to the Nano, but I want the music to lull me to sleep, not keep me up watching music videos, so I chose the Shuffle. Besides, I've still got my iPod Touch for real work.
I think it was a good idea... (Can a new Apple product be a bad idea? I got a blue one. Why? Why not?)

That's a good idea. I have a shuffle too (couldn't afford a nano). I've been using it for dog walking and listening to books in the car but the sleep idea is a good one. Don't the ear things hurt your ears, though, when you sleep?
I think they might, a bit, as they're not flexible like earplugs, but given the trouble getting to sleep has been giving me, I'll go with just lying on my back. I don't generally sleep that way, but it may make it easier to relax anyway. (For me the nano was too expensive as well. The difference between $69 and $159 is too wide. Besides, I have no desire to watch a music video or tv program/movie on a 1"x1" screen. It's my aging eyes...) :-)
