It did not work. I had to get up and pee every fifteen minutes.

Gawd! I need some sleep.

It's so frustrating, I can't do anything to get back to sleep sometimes.

It made all the difference in the world back when I worked 3rd shift and had to sleep during the day. I've gotten so used to it however, that I can't sleep nights without it. Not a problem at home, but if I'm travelling and staying overnight in a hotel or in someone else's home as a house guest, I have a hard as hell time sleeping. Really quiet venues are the worst, ironically.

The guy that wrote the code for that web site is a local Las Vegan.

For greater convenience, I built my own custom link from information found on his new Facebook Group page.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/radio.jukebox/

Instead of 30 sleep sounds, I just wanted too see my favorites. I also wanted a button for ESPN radio, TWiT After Hours, two ambient radio stations, a British Blues station, NPR News Summary, and a few other music stations.

I wrote down my button choices from the main radio jukebox site - http://www.gooplusplus.com/jukebox

Now my custom link looks something like this:

http://www.gooplusplus.com/presets=A1-A9-B9-N1-T1-T2-Z2-Z4-Z7-Z9-ZC-ZF-ZW-etc

Try the link. I think you'll find that this custom presentation is a lot more practical.
