RIP indeed, though I can't help but think of this passage from The Catcher in the Rye: That's the whole trouble. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there,

Heh, sorry to state the obvious. I had such a good time in the tank that I tend to be a bit of an evangelist. If you trust them at all, it's also been studied by the National Institute of Mental Health and they think it's safe.

One thing about renting a tank for an hour that makes it quite different from what's done at Gitmo is that you're free to get out of the tank at any time. If you're curious, I'd recommend doing it.

Interesting. That makes me want to try an anechoic chamber :-). However, the flotation tank also has body temp air and water, no light, good soundproofing (I've also always gone in wearing earplugs). It's true that if I were splash insid

I've had sleep paralysis pretty frequently over the years during afternoon naps. For me it's always the same: someone is calling out to me, but I can't respond or get up because I'm paralyzed. Usually I realize what's going on before too
