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.
There’s this Dutch fella who has a huge library of videos on YouTube where he plays these incredibly difficult custom levels for Doom. Despite the difficulty of playing them pistol start on the hardest difficulty, he’s (almost) always very calm, narrating his experiences live with a low, calming voice. Game volume is also set low, so even with tons of explosions and screaming revenants his voice takes center stage.
While he isn’t uploading gameplay videos anymore, save for user submitted levels, he was uploading daily videos for the better part of five years. There’s plenty of material. I like to put a video or two on while unwinding for bed, and once I start feeling sleepy enough I just lock my phone screen, drop the volume til I can juuuust clearly hear his voice, and fall asleep.
The girlfriend masturbating. Wish she would keep it down though…
I also say this guy’s girlfriend masturbating.
I’m not your guy, pal.
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.
I like to listen to podcasts/youtube videos about religion. The two I use the most are Religion for Breakfast and Let’s Talk Religion. I also sometimes listen to “Fall of Civilizations Podcast”. I always get bored if I do nothing but listen to podcast, which helps me sleep.
I do wish I could listen to that last one though, since I like history and the production quality is good. A video can hold my attention for longer than a podcast for some reason.
I have a playlist of meditation/yoga music I put on when I go to bed.
Y’all got an addiction
To what, sleep?
Constant stimulation
More Kitboga for the last few months.
Extremely longform videos where an incredibly talented voice actor/software engineer/performance artist/ADHD dad calls scammers and wastes their time, collecting things like bank accounts to report as compromised, BTC wallet addresses to investigate, and the like. Streams all of his calls live, uses a physical voice transformer, and plays like 12 different characters on the fly. Sometimes plays four characters AT A TIME.
The relaxing sound of scammers just screaming obscenities in other languages.
The Office (US). I’ve seen them all a million times but there’s still enough to distract my mind. It’s using the ubiquity of all the one liners and memes to advantage.
Over the last year or so I’ve conditioned myself to fall asleep to “Seasons” by Chris Cornell. It’s the first song on my sleep playlist and I realized I was conditioned a few weeks ago when my wife was watching the movie Singles (which features the song repeatedly) and every time a bit of the song was played I would yawn.
Fucking quiet. Which is damn near impossible to get, which is what gives me insomnia
If you haven’t tried already: use earplugs. I realized embarrassingly late that my sensitivity to sound wakes me up quite often and earplugs have been a life changer.
Anything presented by Simon Whistler.
Am I married to you?
Reading paper books.
Machining or lathe work videos. For some reason, it’s very satisfying for some reason.
