help. addicted!

[ssingh0]

hello. I can't stop listening to my headphones. i have finals next week. the past month or so, whenever I come home I put my headphones on and soon enough it's a good time to sleep so I can get up on time. I go brush my teeth come back outside of the bathroom. Decide to have a final appeasing listen, and I ending spending another hour or two, then I wake up late, swearing that I need to get to sleep earlier. Then I turn on my computer and decide to get energized and grab my headphones... aaaahhh!. WHat do I do???? I don't want to sell my headphones because I got a good deal, I just got into headfi and bought my stuff recently and I can't stand the feeling. I downloaded a progam that forcibly shuts off my computer after a half hour and doesn't let you start it again (some child use controller), but I just end up entering the administrator settings and uninstalling it. Anyone else been in the same situation and have a solution?

I am another hard-working, addicted student and I have faced the same problem that you have described. I'd recommend not listening to them AT ALL or, if you are able of exercising self-discipline, designating a one hour period every day when you are allowed to listen to them (as time permits).

For the past three weeks, I have successfully restrained myself from listening to my ATH-A900s due to academic demands. The only time I ever listen to music right now is in the gym (w/my KSC75s). That is usually enough to appease me....

I suffer from the same thing, except the MS-2s are (supposedly) more engaging with more energy. STAY AWAY!

Give me your headphones. Problem solved

Have a friend, relative, neighbor lock your headphones away for a week until your finals are over?

Listen while you study!

I have somewhat of a similar problem only with music and the computer. I cant seem to find time to do my homework or study. And I find myself staying up late everyday and then half asleep at school. I keep telling myself I need to study but its just not working. Any suggestions for me?
