Michelle O. in MO Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 She has a hard time settling down at night to sleep. I know there's music out there that is geared toward nature - like soft ocean sounds, breezes, water, etc.. It can be anything soothing. I went on our Library's website and there are 320 choices that might fit this. Will someone here help me narrow this down please? Do you have a favorite artist? Thanks so much.

elegantlion Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Could you take her to Wal-mart or Target and use their displays. See which sounds she likes better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 My friend's kids listen to Story of the World. At least some of the cds might work. OR, Jim Weiss has some cds that would work like Thomas Jefferson...etc. Sometimes just listening to something...can get you straight to sleep. :-) I think he also has some bedtime cds,too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumbledeb Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 My girls listen to Story of the World and that gets them straight off to sleep! They are bouncing around for at least a couple of hours if they have nothing to listen to. They enjoy listening and ask for Story of the World because they like it but I've noticed that it does have the effect of settling them down to sleep faster.

Tap Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 dd10 used to like to jazz. She loved Ella Fitzgerald :0) at 6yo. If you have a laptop you may try putting it in her room, on an online radio station site like Pandora or Rhapsody, and see if any of the stations do something for her. It would be a cheap way to see what she likes and it may surprise you. ds used to love to fall asleep to an audio book or a reading of the Bible.

Michelle O. in MO Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 for the ideas....I never thought of Walmart's "nature" cd's...although that's sort of what I have in mind. She loves Story of the World...but it doesn't relax her. It sort of has the opposite effect. I've also had her listen to very soothing classical without much success. She was at a sleepover a few months ago, and the little girl she stayed with had a fish tank in her room. dd came home and said it was really relaxing.

Mad Jenny Flint Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 but normally she uses story cd's to get to sleep. She loves Charlotte's Web and any of the Little House Series cd's. Cherry Jones' voice is very soothing to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
