I use Futurama. It’s my comfort show and I’ve watched it so much it makes me sleepy now haha
Hell yeah Futurama sleepers ftw. There used to be a sub for it.
Anything but jurassic bark 😭
I always wake up when Jurassic Bark comes on and it’s a real bummer. So I don’t watch Futurama going to bed anymore.
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.
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.
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
Darkness and a home server fan
Fucking quiet. Which is damn near impossible to get, which is what gives me insomnia
The I cant sleep podcast. Just a guy reading random wikipedia articles.
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
Classic movies, usually from TCM. I love classics but they’re often fantastic to fall asleep to with their slower stories and quieter dialog.
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.

Used to watch Forrest Gump and Harry Potter to fall asleep quite a few years ago.
Cosmos with Carl Sagan
