ADD or Audiophile?

Whenever possible, I like to just close my eyes and listen.  I find having my eyes closed helps to widen my perception of the soundscape.  Having said that, the human mind likes to wander and really, we aren't in control of where it goes for the most part.  When it refuses to relax and focus on the music, then I too will read while listening.  As for dozing off for short intervals while listening, that's OK too. Just means I'm totally relaxed.  Another benefit of music.  IMHO.  Cheers.

I shoot pucks with with my youngest while jamming loud music through tidal. It’s a lot of fun and it introduces him to great music. It’s very rare I get to relax and really enjoy my system but it’s still worth every penny. Time is at a premium while kids are young and anytime I can listen I treasure it. 

I don't suffer this affliction. Doubt I ever will. I hate background music, makes me think of elevators.

@artemus_5  I’ll try to experiment with your theory. I have a Linn LP12 packed up (I only stream or play CDs these days) that i can set up after i can make room for it again. 
@bigtwin during those moments the music catches my attention, like you, I close my eyes which brings focus and adds the the enjoyment ( including roe-tapping but, for me no sleeping). 
The reason behind the premise of my post is after reading these forum posts over the years, I see so many members talking about spending hours enjoying their music with a glass of wine, tumbler of bourbon, a blunt, etc…but no mentions of reading like I do (usually Audiogon Forum, Stereophile, TAS, researching music or components, etc…). 
i THOROUGHLY enjoy reading these Forums and have learned so much from the experiences, opinions, and recommendations of contributing members.  I’m 67 and enjoy learning.  I’ll keep working until i stop learning and contributing to the company I’ve worked in for 42 years. However, I’m going on ~57 years enjoying music and learning about audio which will continue ad infinitum. 

I generally read when I am listening.  When I was a teenager in the early seventies I wanted some music in the background when I studied so I gravitated to the unplayed Classical Music in the home since my favorite what is now considered Classic Rock was distracting.  Eventually I began to love the Classical and then that became distracting.  When I had to really bear down and concentrate, particularly in undergrad and then Medical School, it was in a quiet library.  Now I listen to music constantly.  Internet Radio is playing in the background currently.  When we have guests staying with us my wife forbids the radio during breakfast and the house just sounds to quiet.

  I agree with @mickeyb that while the kids are growing it’s hard to relegate your listening to a dedicated time since we never have any personal time
