A friend of mine listens to various sounds to help her fall asleep in an app that has various "sleep sounds" (ocean, wildlife, etc.)

As a former semi-serious sailor, she was excited to see that there were sailing sounds, so she started them up and immediately fell asleep. She then had rigging-related sailing nightmares all night because the soundtrack has the sounds ropes make when they're under an unsafe level of tension.

@danluu @negative12dollarbill those apps are a hazard. A friend started using rain sounds to fall asleep. Now they have trouble not falling asleep at their desk when it’s raining outside
