  I'll have to agree. If I get interrupted 3 or more times in 
short succession (be it the cats insisting I put more food down, 
scratching at the door, phone calls, or someone asking me to get 
them a glass of water because they don't feel like getting up) 
I'm ready to call it quits for the day.

  I don't really think I can stand to sit in one spot for as long 
as 40 minutes anyways. Maybe my chairs are too flat, but I end up 
shifting quite often or going to get a drink of water when I feel 
like it, rather than a mandatory every 60 minutes. I'll then 
wander for several minutes before finally going back to my chair. 
Being forced to reset or press play on a CD player is just an 
annoyance, I'm more likely to put it on auto-repeat, as I can 
listen to the same album several times or the same song for a few 
hours straight before I need to change it.

  There's always the possibility you won't notice the music 
stopped either and go for another half hour or an hour before you 
realize it, especially when you're in the groove.
