Nothing. As close to silence as possible.
Tinnitus gang hates this comment.
Mawp
I can’t do silence, my thoughts are too loud. Rain sounds work well for me.
And dark as possible!
Technology Connections doing a deep dive into something like how a VHS cassette tape works. I’m interested, but if it’s late, the topic also knocks me out in about 15 min.
This is mine too. Half the time my brain records bits and pieces when I’m asleep and I wake up knowing a few facts about how street lamps work or some shit.
Technology Connections: REAL SHIT
Technology Connextras: I sleep
A fan and total darkness.
Audiobooks.
Mostly the one I’m currently reading, but I have to listen to that part again the next day.
If that’s too engaging I listen to Nothing much happens, Bedtime stories where as it says, not much is happening, read in a soothing voice.
Darkness and a home server fan
Classic movies, usually from TCM. I love classics but they’re often fantastic to fall asleep to with their slower stories and quieter dialog.
I’ve been listening to Fall of Civilizations, with some Kosmo before that.
I used to try to put on ocean things, but the animals were all too pretty, so I’d end up watching it instead of sleeping.
Fall of civilisations is my go-to as well!
Nice! Those videos last me forever, too! They’re 2-3 hours, but knock me out in 5-10 minutes, and they’re interesting enough I keep going back until I get through it.
I finished the Sumerians last week and am 1/4 into the Songhai now.
Oh I didn’t even know there were videos haha
Math class
Great Lectures are so fantastic too. Interesting stuff but the production quality is so great and soothing and excellent speakers. I don’t stand a chance haha.
For sure
Good sleep hygene ie dark quiet cold is incredibly good for you. It makes you 5-10% better at literally everything. Falling asleep to content is incredibly bad for this its literally making ur dumber and more distracted.
The I cant sleep podcast. Just a guy reading random wikipedia articles.
A book.
Almost all the suggestions here are videos. Who wants light from a screen keeping them awake when they are trying to sleep? Put on some very quiet music instead. Best for me is when it’s something I know pretty well.

Futurama. used to be Dan Carlin podcasts
This is the way.
Over the last year or so I’ve conditioned myself to fall asleep to “Seasons” by Chris Cornell. It’s the first song on my sleep playlist and I realized I was conditioned a few weeks ago when my wife was watching the movie Singles (which features the song repeatedly) and every time a bit of the song was played I would yawn.
Used to watch Forrest Gump and Harry Potter to fall asleep quite a few years ago.
