Fifteen minutes after leaping into a huge tank of warm salted water, embellished with fluorescent lighting, I wrestled with random thoughts, mainly those that questioned why I was in this large tank. But the health benefits swiftly batted away any criticism. Approximately 30 minutes deep into my relaxation session, I began to embrace the silence and decided I would use the opportunity to take a quick power nap. My stomach had other ideas however, and decided to remind me (very rudely) that it needed food -- scaring me half to death. Luckily I was able to get past the grumbles caused by my hunger pangs and allowed this strange, but weirdly comforting environment to lull me into a sleepy relaxed state. But before I could go peacefully off into a deep slumber the sweet sounds of relaxation music (my 1-hour alarm) echoed through the tank halting my attempt.
