Anything to cover up the tinnitus, I can’t stand a quiet room.
I listen to Hardcore History to go to sleep, and yeah, descriptions of some horrific situations apparently don’t interfere with my relaxation.
Dan Carlin’s voice, though… it’s so relaxing and engaging.

I listen to history too!

I listen to podcasts about Tolkien works, nothing will put you to sleep faster than someone slow-talking their way through a bunch of first-age Valar and Elf nonsense.
If you haven’t heard them yet you’ve got to try the audio books when they had Andy Serkis read them. I tried to listen at work and I had to stop because all I wanted to do was nap
I recently finished a Silmarillion listen (not the Serkis version) so it might be a couple months before I start another round. Will definitely keep the Serkis ones top of mind!
I’m listening to the sounds of The Enterprise warp engines.
Now THAT is nice. The TNG background noise instantly makes me relax.

Those are some channels I listen to in order to fall asleep.
I listen to metal to fall asleep. Weird as it may sound, listening to something that’s higher energy than me is straight up exhausting to the point that it saps all my remaining energy and I just conk right out.
I especially like Japanese metal for it, because not being able to understand the words means I don’t get focused on the meaning of the song and stay up thinking about it.Wouldn’t any instrumental metal band do the trick then?
Probably, just haven’t found any I’m super fond of.
Check out Violet Cold. It’s pretty good stuff. And excellent for sleeping to!
Slayer the sed to knock me out as a teen. Super soothing somehow and I I’ve never considered myself a Slayer fan.
I just put my head down and I’m out in a minute or two at most. When I was stressed and not enjoying life it would take an hour or two.
I find you can often tell a person’s mental health by how easily they fall asleep and how rested they are when they awake.
Melatonin and a fan are cheap compared to therapy…
i do not believe i have ever felt more called out.
that said, History of Rome podcast is also phenomenal sleep ambiance.
History of Rome put me to sleep for a couple years.
Got to the point where I would wake up and be like "oh we’re on Aurelian, or “Oh it’s the Julian the apostate episode.”
Mike Duncan is tremendous.
impressive! i aspire to such heights as well.
a lot of people use true crime to fall asleep to. i didn’t get it but it works.
Firelink Shrine 10 Hours.
Been listening to Lovecraftian stories on YouTube to fall asleep. They’re always read in a soothing tone that instantly puts me out.
Thought this was a white girl thing. Nope. Crept into bed last week with my wife,
“And then he cut his sister’s throat because of the boy she was with and mom wouldn’t buy him a pistol…”
LOL, I think she’s doing it right now!
I listen to Kitboga slowly drive scammers into insanity. Theres something very soothing about grandma Edna drone on and on about her pecan sandies.
This was my Ex and listening to Forensic Files while she slept.
I personally am more drawn to youarelistenining.to
Ah, haven’t thought about youarelistening.to in a while. I should turn it on while working. It’s strangely relaxing and helps a lot with focus.
That dirty bum bum Bum BUM!
