Well of course listening to monkeys makes you fall asleep faster. Every time I turn on C-Span, I immediately get drowsy. Bunch of screeching howler monkeys...

Birds chirping just reminds of my younger days when I would just be coming in as the sun was coming up AND the birds would be chirping!! Chirping birds just reminds me of bad judgment and hangovers...glad those days are over.

When I'm in bed I prefer to listen for the sound of beaver.

lol..

Birds chirping actually is what always wakes me up and makes it hard for me to fall asleep

Their close on their findings but I think they meant you want to pet the monkey at night and not listen to it.

Monkees?? The old saying is to 'count sheep', but why do that when you can talk to the Shepherd?

Uhhh, no thanks. I'd rather listen to Beatles.

Sorry, couldn't resist that one! LOL

Having had three children in five years, I can attest to the fact that hearing the noise of the little monkeys all day long did a wonderful job of putting me to sleep at night.

Since they were birthed from and live on an island, wonder why the sounds of some distant jungle would be more soothing to an Englishman than the sea? Artificial or otherwise. Seems to me it would be as pacific and soothing to them as the very womb.

Try working hard that always makes me sleepy

"forget sheep, try monkeys" I'll just stick to my wife, thank you very much...

If you really wanna sleap faster, turn on FOX News....those neanderthals will have you sleeping with the remote still in your hand....I stumbled on the channel before going to bed, found my dog Spike with one foot on his ears and another on his eyes dead asleep on the couch the next morning....looking pissed with a note that read "dude, you put that channel one more time you are toast". That spooked me out a little...our cat Brutus was on one corner shaking his going "not cool dude"

I spent nearly three years in India... and the surest way for me NOT to fall asleep was when I could hear the monkeys calling and hooting, because it usually meant that a whole pack of them was about to settle in on the apartment balcony. And what that meant was a horrendous stench all night and piles of feces and puddles of urine to clean up the following morning, as well as wanton destruction of anything we were foolish enough to leave outside.

Anyway, that study is probably applicable only to those people who haven't actually had to live around monkeys.

Who gets paid to do these stupid surveys and WHO are they surveying anyway?

There is no one I know in the middle part of the U.S. that would have said "oh yes I love the sound of monkeys screaching and birds going crazy to help me fall asleep".

Get real. Maybe in N.Y where all the nuts live or in CA. where all the fruits live.

Last Train to Clarksville always puts me right out.

Listen to monkey's? You mean turn on CSPAN?

Monkeys? Oh, you mean rap music!

I have a "condition" where I just can't sleep in total silence.  All my life I've run fans and air filtration systems overnight to help me sleep.  I even bought a clock radio that has several "white noise" settings like rain, thunder, crickets, etc.  Some don't work because my brain starts anticipating certain sounds (like a certain bird chirp or a certain draindrop pattern) in the digitally recorded loops, but others work fine.  The crickets seem to be most effective.  When travelling I crack the window to listen to ambient outside noises of traffic, industrial plants working overnight, etc.  If I'm in a situation where it's too quiet, in a pinch, I turn a small radio to "dead" air and use that.  Hint:  stick to the FM band, because AM can pick up random electical noises (like lightning, field coils, power transofrmers, etc.) and even e-skips of distant stations fading in-and-out.

Nascar...I fall asleep everytime unless DW is announcing then I shoot the screen out. He makes too many pompous ass sounds.

The sound of Michelle Obama trying to sound important puts me to sleep every time.

I wish I knew how.

Huh?  We are talking about getting to sleep. Are you such a racist and misogynist that you can't help insulting the first Lady?  Maybe you are obsessed with her.  Apparently you are thinking of her when you go to bed.

Well... uh, uh, uh, uh uh... you could uh... listen uh... to uh Obama... uh... whenever he doesn't have his teleprompter and is doing a"one on one" with some Left-wing, lame stream media puppet?

WARNING: Just "listening to Obama: is HAZARDOUS to YOUR HEALTH!

DO NOT DRIVE or OPERATE HEAVY MACHINERY;

If and when you are stupid enough to waste your time LISTENING to Obama?

Note: If and when you are still "considering" listening to Obama, never do so "alone" and only under "adult supervision".

Adverse reactions: Obama listeners have reported Blank Stares, Zero Logic, Profuse Sweating, Nausea, Vomiting, Diarrhea, Fever, Chills, Tics, Heart problems, Chest Pain and Breathing Difficulty, Comatose-like symptoms, various Brain Disorders, Suicide and even voting for Democrats and of course, repeating things like "UH and You know" over and over?

Survivors: Those who had suffered from severe OBAMAITIS between 2008 and 2010, and were able to get IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION were able to prove "they had fully recovered" and voted hundreds and hundreds of Republicans in to city, county, state and Federal offices on November 2nd, 2010.
