Pzizz!

I
recently found a cool program though my friend Matt - pzizz. The
weird name comes from its function: it induces sleep. Basically,
you start the program and it plays a randomly generated track of a
man talking quietly (and no, he isn't saying "buy coke" or "kill
the president", though one of those requires much less convincing)
and strange music. My gleanings from the website suggest that the
music is specifically designed with a frequency modulation that
stimulates the areas of the brain that are active during
sleep.
There are two versions, the basic powernap version, and the addon sleep version. Normally the former costs $40 and the latter, $20, but right now the website www.mydreamapp.com is holding a contest for ideas for cool Mac applications and if you sign up and vote BEFORE THE END OF FRIDAY you get a FREE copy of the nap version!
I have tried the nap version a couple times and have thought it was really cool. Recently I have been waking up earlier and doing more with my day, so I end up feeling exhausted. I have only had a couple chances to try the nap, but both times it make me really relaxed, though not quite asleep, as I didn't have a good place to really stretch out. The sleep module, however, can be downloaded as a trial, and it knocks me right out. Last night I was asleep in about 5 minutes, though in fairness, I rarely toss and turn longer than 10. The naps can also be exported as mp3, so you can listen on your ipod and sleep wherever.
Anyway, it looks cool and it available for Mac and lowly windows, so give it a shot. I'm off to bed.
