#137 The Washing Machine of Life

Sleep Better
About this episode

"Bathing is the washing machine of life!" - Misato Katsuragi

This episode is 30 minutes of the rhythmic movement and sound of a washing machine along with the end credit music for the anime "Neon Genesis Evangelion". I have taken the final credit music and blurred it into something peaceful and reflective to listen to while falling asleep. If you haven't seen the show before from 1995, I highly suggest checking it out. 

This line is a metaphorical expression that symbolizes the idea of cleansing and renewal. Misato suggests that taking a bath is not just about physical cleanliness but also a way to cleanse one's mind and soul. Similar to how a washing machine cleanses and refreshes clothes, bathing is portrayed as a rejuvenating process for the individual. It reflects the series' focus on personal growth, healing, and finding solace amidst the emotional turmoil experienced by the characters.

Music and sound was recorded by Matt Ridenour exclusively for Sleep Better
