What do people who float say about floating?
In their own words
To preface, I’m an engineer, I’m pretty high strung (stress, organizing - think typical engineer) so facts and logic play a pretty big role in my thinking. I’m not very crunchy granola, I mentioned to my wife I like to try weird stuff like this, so she bought me a session for Christmas.
I also take LOTS of sleep aids. Melatonin, Tylenol PM and others - if I’m lucky I can get to sleep in under an hour most nights.
I went, I floated, I have a bad back, it was Ok. I enjoy it. I dozed, I had some dreams, I phased in and out. It was cool, it wasn’t mind altering, it wasn’t life changing, it was good.
NOW: The weird part. I come out thinking, “That was ok, I’ll try it again.” I’m pretty relaxed even for me. I get home, I hug my family, I sit on the couch and I sink down into a relaxed state I have not felt in YEARS. It lowered my floor for the ability to relax WAY WAY down there. The relaxed where you sink into the couch and you do not give a shit about anything. Life is great, and then I immediately fell asleep sitting on the couch. “Damn I must have been relaxed, maybe I’ll just go lay down in bed.” I fell asleep in...I would estimate under 3 minutes. That does not happen to me. Ever.”
