Liz McGarty, Ritual

When ritual I perform daily is listening to my I-pod at nite. I cannot fall asleep unless I am listening to my music, though it has to be through my headphones. If music is playing through a radio or Tv it annoys me, and I won't be able to fall asleep. I have been practicing this ritual for a good five years. Whenever I am in the situation without my I-pod and I am trying to sleep, I usually will have a very difficult time doing so. I don't believe that listeing to my I-pod leads to any consequences. I suppose it could damage my hearing in the future. I don't know what started this ritual, but I know that it would take alot of effort for me to stop.
