Glad you did that.<br /><br />I've never tried an audiobook as noise can be very irritating. <br /><br />So glad your eye is healing well.

Who knows?<br /><br />But you hit the nail on the head with what I wound up doing-- watching favorite movies and/or TV programs that I'd seen several times before so it didn't matter when I did nod off!

Ha! Yes, I do indeed know that some of us do well with audios and so do not. My daughter is almost entirely a auditory learner - she was tested in nursing school. That didn't surprise me. She loved to have me read to her when she was growing up and I did it even into her teens. She reads mostly by audiobooks. I am a visual and tactile learner, but...I do love my audios. It has taken practice though. And practice to learn to tolerate the earbuds. I'm very picky about them. <br /><br />Could you listen to movies or TV shows that you've watched before? And if you went to sleep, who cares?

I don't think any form of reading/experiencing books is for everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
