Not sure how much of a thing this is but I like to have shows playing softly while I sleep, what are your shows you like to help you sleep?

Screen off of course

    Just found out a couple of weeks ago (am 41), so let me ask if this a typical thing for those affected?

    I have some go-to-topics for my documentaries:

    • Astronomy
    • Christian mythogy and Proto-Judaism (Atheist. Don’t ask!)
    • Antiquity and advanced civilizations
    • War (WW 1/2, Vietnam)
    • History
    • True Crime (Medical Detectives)

    Star Trek Voyager. I was never a fan, but it has soft sounds and the volume never gets too loud unlike a lot of other shows. That said, I’m hoping to find new suggestions here :)

    WW2 war documentaries. For some reason, all the narrators have voices that put me right to sleep.

    Used to be Futurama for years and years. Started putting Family Guy, American Dad, Bob’s Burgers, Sponge Bob, and King of the Hill into the mix. Basically anything animated.

    DnD podcasts. The Naddpod short rests after each episode specifically. Keeps my brain focused enough to fall asleep and I don’t miss any of the actual storylines!

    I hate sleeping with a TV on, and don’t have a TV in my bedroom. But if I can’t sleep I move to the couch and I can’t sleep on the couch if the TV isn’t on. I always put on RedLetterMedia. Specifically I shuffle all of the episodes of Best of the Worst.

    Anything from RedLetterMedia though I don’t think it’s a good suggestion for others to listen to. Rich Evans’ laugh is a wonderful thing, but it’ll wake you up

    Trailer Park Boys has a very relaxing theme song. I’ve had many nights watching it where the theme just puts me to sleep and I have to go back multiple episodes to pick the thread back up the next day. It’s not always a calm show but the theme song could open for Bob Ross.

    The Mommy, matrix, scorpion king, Firefly …

    We have a raspberry Pi I rigged up to play just the audio. We control it by our phones or a button attached to the headboard to choose a random one.
