Made between April 22nd and 27th, 2021

I've had a long history of troubles with sleep; insomnia, night terrors, paralysis, nightmares, sleep apnea, and I've been known to do experiments to see how far I could reduce my weekly sleep amounts.

At one point I got it down to an average of 16 hours a week sleep over the course of a 6 month period. Yes I know that's mega unhealthy, but I have a strange brain and I worked a lot, and had a lot I wanted to do / achieve back then (we're talking mid to late 90s), so I wanted to see how far I could push myself.

It stood me in good stead for later in life when I would be constantly working 2 or 3 jobs, often being night shifts, playing in bands, maintaining relationships (or trying to!), and promoting music and gigs.

Add in decades of alcoholism into this mix, and my sleep definitely suffered, in turn my mental health suffered extremely, so I have been trying to improve this over the last few years (now sober, meditating, keeping check on mental health conditions constantly, lost a lot of weight).

I still have some sleep problems, mostly just because I struggle to switch my brain off from 'Productive Mode' (he says writing this at 3am whilst adding text to all releases, processing a music video and uploading a new album!), but have noticed a lot of the problems ease considerably, so I will continue to make adjustments and focus on this much more.

This album was an interesting study for me, and if you want to read more, whilst listening to the album of course, then here you go:
