An Insight
This is to help anyone that may have the same experience as me and thus a way to get around it.
What I found was that when I got to bed I would get myself ready play the mp3 from my phone (connected to my speakers) and then try and get to sleep.
As we all know getting to sleep isn't as easy sometimes and there are these times when it can take many hours and many reasons to fall asleep.
In my case, the times I fell asleep were fine, id sleep and problem solved or no problem created but this post is about the times I didn't or couldnt sleep.
Those times I would then be disturbed either by that very phone I'm playing the mp3 through having text messages or youtube notifications or other such notifications disrupt the play. (This occurred initially until I fixed the issue so read on).
The other disruption for when I couldnt sleep would be to grab my 2nd phone (main phone) and end up watching youtube videos, which only later made me realise that I could be masking the sounds of the masked track from the speakers by doing this.
Another and the main disruption was the need to get up and out of bed. This mostly came as a desire to go to the toilet and some times just to get out of bed entirely.
The issues of the latter (get away or out of the room) is that it affects the actual mp3 since realistically you cannot always wait for a silent 5mins period if its 45mins away and other times you just aren't in the mood to hang around listening to ocean sounds (I played hybrid).
I have not played the mp3 now for many weeks, mainly due to being terribly ill for so long with a heavy chest infection.
Over this period I tried to think of a solution to the latter.
What I now present are solutions I applied to the former and the solution I hope will work for the latter and thus help anyone else.
1) Always put your phone on flight mode. This will remove any calls or notifications or disruptions to the playing of mp3s.
2) I found on youtube videos/tracks of 1hour of silence. I downloaded this via free online youtube to mp3 software (nothing is to be downloaded, can be done entirely online via your web browser).
I realised that the issues of wanting to watch youtube or get out of my room or even go to the bathroom to urinate usually all occur because I'm awake.
It was very silly of me to play such an mp3, that needed continuous play without ANY pausing or stoppage, immediately upon entering my bed.
I realised that if I start the mp3 whenever and have the first track of my playlist be the 1 hour silence then during this 1 hour I have the means to get to sleep.
If I don't sleep during this time then sure I can get out of bed or wait and watch youtube or whatever I want to do without fearing that I've wasted a days worth of MLS goodness.
If however I do fall asleep within 59mins of playing this track then awesome because the MLS tracks will continue straight after in this playlist created and thus I will get the benefit while sleeping.
Only thing to remember is set the volume of MLS first by playing the track and quickly adjusting volume controls quickly and then stop and reset to start from the silent track.
As long as you have the volume set every night and you do the above as I will hope to do again once I restart then I'm sure we will all get the benefits we need.
