    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.

      Same. Whatever I’m currently listening to I add a bookmark before bed and go back to that point the next time I listen.

        My audiobook player has a sleep timer that after it expires, will gradually fade out to nothing.

        Best part is if you’re still awake enough that you notice it happening you can just shake your phone (with an adjustable intensity) without turning the screen on or anything and it resets the sleep timer.

        My ability to fall asleep has never been better.

    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.

    D&D lore, or any other fictional lore is really good for this. It’s not nearly interesting enough to really keep my attention, but just interesting enough that I kinda half listen.

    Put this on, and just try to stay awake at night, I dare you.

    For background listening while I’m winding down in the evening I like something a little more interesting, and my best for that is probably SEA. One of the best astronomy channels around.

            …at some level i secretly suspect that sleeping under omnipresent white noise has only made my tinnitus worse over time, but that could also be a natural consequence of my ears aging-out…

            (could also come from driving a convertible at speed while blasting music on a three-hour commute every day, if i’m honest)

    Dreamscape ASMR (YouTube channel)

    Every vid is a thoroughly thought out and immersive artistic experience, unlike many ASMR channels with regular soft talking in the room.

      Same. I’ve listened to so many I have a playlist pared down to just Japanese trains and specific crossings I found on YT. okok, Imma nerd. But still.

        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.

    When not in the mood for talking, singing bowls for sure.

    When my brain can’t stop and I need a distraction, either the sleep with me podcast or welcome to nightvale. Sometimes Sleep Whispers but that one can be over stimulating for my lil ASMR brain.
