Insomnia Sleep Aid: 1922 Western Softwood Lumber Grading Rules (Deep Voice)
from Deeply Unimportant: Sleep Stories for Racing Minds · host Dallas Kachan
Sleep well to a deep, soothing voice — an alternative to sleep stories and white noise. This boring voice ASMR sleep aid is for relaxation, insomnia relief and racing minds that need to fall asleep. Travel to the U.S. Pacific Northwest of 1922 and be lulled by the definitive rules for classifying Ponderosa Pine and Sugar Pine. Achieve deep rest in the meticulous definition of the acceptable flaw. Find peace in the precise allowance for Grade C Select, which permits "small, seasonal checks" and "light blue stain." We categorize the exact dimensions of a "sound, tight knot" (not to exceed one inch) and review the limits for pitch pockets and wane. And don't miss a serene review of the rules of tally, where every board foot is measured, and all fractions of length are disregarded. Deeply Unimportant is a sleep ASMR sleeping aid for minds that need structure to drift off. An alternative to CBT therapy, it employs a form of what sleep scientists call cognitive shuffling that can overcome mind racing thoughts at night. No whispers or fairy tales; just an ordered, structured, boring voice of a real life former newscaster reading material that doesn't matter.
