Actaully, I don't know why I didn't remember my experiences with sensory depravation tanks years ago. I remember after spending an hour in the tank feeling amazingly refreshed and significantly more able to concentrate on stuff.

I've thought about trying sensory deprivation before! Is it hard to get access to the tanks?

you can do a poorman's isolation tank by cutting a ping pong ball in half and taping them over your eyes, then turning the radio to static and lying down.

set the static to be just loud enough to muffle the sound of your own breathing.

I rented one in Austin from a hippie couple. It was fun.
