anyone else really enjoy it? I I can't live without an hour or two a day my wife thinks I am nuts but I find it so relaxing more so than sleep
-
Hmmm ...
I don't think I have ever found any, but not from lack of searching.
The closest I ever seem to get is a "back to nature" romp.

I would love to hit on the lotto and buy one of those isolation tanks or add-on and build a secret room.
I spent alot of time in the closet when I was younger, now I hide in the basement or a dark bedroom for awhile when I can. Probably the only thing that keeps me sane.

What exactly do you do Parts?
I keep meaning go do a floatation tank session. Sometimes I stick the ol' headphones on and listen to meditation cd's. :meditate:
-
I don't have a tank but would love one :) For now what I do is lay down in a dark quiet room with ear plugs. Also under covers with pillows all around me and over my head and my weighted blanket on me. I blot out everything and try and think about nothing at all

no cameras!!!

WOW. Sounds relaxing as hell. Its kind of weird that aspies like us consider death-like states comforting, but ehh.

I have deafening tinitus, earplugs would be hell.
I like trance-enducing music. Drones, anything "psychedelic", progressive/ambient electronica etc help me drift. :nicegear:
it's annoying though, when I'm trying to analyse a track and my mind keeps wondering, forcing several replays.

Make sure you aren't wearing a hat when you listen.
Hats fuck up your natural abilities in many ways.
Sorry to hear about your tinnitus. That SuX!

Don't wear hats.
The tinnitus comes and goes, it seems when I notice it it takes over more. Of course it becomes more noticeable in quiet environs. It's a meditation in itself to ignore it, which does alleviate it.

I probably should have some degree of tinnitus, due to all my history of rock-N-fucking-roll, gun play, sea diving, accidents to my head, but I have been lucky. I have lost some of my upper range of hearing, though.
I've known guys with serious tinnitus who were almost deaf when things got really quiet, but could hear OK-ish when in a loud environment like a rock stage.
I don't have a parallel understanding, but I can almost imagine what it would be like. I think of all the distractions I deal with at work as a "rining in my ears" which I have to constantly, physically, purposefully ignore, while I try to concentrate on what my job requires.
*empathy*

Dark quiet room, no ear plugs for me but I have my blanket on. Soft surroundings, comfortable all over and then I go to sleep. The ultimate sensory deprivation. I can only do this during the day though, at night I get tics and they keep me awake for a while.
I would like to try a sensory deprivation tank, it would be interesting to see whether I could cope with it.
