This requires a bit of explanation, but have you ever been in a functional sensory deprivation chamber? I had an apartment in college where when you went to bed, there was no light coming from outside, courtesy of a very good curtain, the bedroom door let no light in from the rest of the apartment and unless people were screaming or the central air was on, no sound entered the room. It got trippy!

Anybody ever find themselves in a location like that?

Not quite, but the house we've been renting has windows and walls that do block out most sound other than the very loud bus that passes by intermittently, as we're on a bus line. I don't mind absolute quiet. A lot better than TV or music in the background. The noises I do fall asleep beautifully to are summer/meadow insects and heavy rains with thunder.

What sounds, smells, or physical sensations are most relaxing or mood uplifting for you?
