Nothing. By separating sleep time and TV time, I’m less likely to fall asleep before I’m ready, and I fall asleep much faster when it’s bedtime.
I read to sleep.
Futurama
Futurama for me originally, then Rick and Morty for a while until they released the episode where a character says “Hey Siri Call 911” and after being woken up to my device confirming a call to emergency services I had to switch back to Futurama.
Shout out to Futurama Sleepers, I hope it picks up on Lemmy.
Bad habit, your brain needs a lack of talking heads when you sleep.
If silence doesn’t work for you, try something with steady noise. Some use white noise generators, for me it’s the whir from an air purifier.
This was how I felt until the tinnitus started to get more noticeable. Variable soft sounds are great now.
This is ideal, some people can’t shut off the voice in their head, so the next best thing to silence is listening to someone else who isn’t talking about whether you’ll find a job tomorrow or a boyfriend or ask about that growth you just noticed on your leg…
My thoughts would overwhelm the silence, and well, we can’t have that.
Background noise can really help people with PTSD sleep through the night. Give it a go if this applies to you
Star Trek: Voyager
I can’t sleep if there’s any sort of talking. For some reason I can’t tune it out and my mind latches onto every word
My ex would go to sleep to those CSI and true crime murder porn shows and I’d be laying there, mad, exhausted, with a pillow over my head, but still invested in whether or not the over-helpful neighbor was the real killer.
Adventure Time
Any long run laugh track sitcom ie Mike & Molly or Mom (Netflix).
“Hey I’m Grump, I’m not-so Grump, AND WE’RE THE GAME GRUMPS!”
10 hours of the Wii Weather Channel music
How the Universe Works
I don’t often, but Drifting off with Joe Pera.
Joe Pera is mine too, both the podcast and some episodes of the show too.
If you stay up long enough, you can also catch Dr. Brule
Thank you Mr. huqrugus. To your health!
I’m a doctor too you dingus!
I know.
So there’s this Youtube channel called Astrum
He now specifically has Astrum Sleep for this specifically.
i just pick a folder or an existing playlist and hit random. but the best things for me because they help mask noises (yes, the ones in my head mainly) are musicals (such as annie) or movies with lots of background music (disney movies are good for this) or old-school multi-camera sitcoms for the laugh track (newhart, mary tyler moore, patty duke, etc)… the other common thing between them is it’s all stuff i’ve watched a lot so it’s very familiar. if it isn’t–i’m more apt to try to watch than to doze off.
Same here. I pretty much know every line from bobs burgers
