    I find listening to (already listened to—this part is important) stuff is like a sleeping pill. Rip YouTube videos and put just the audio on your phone. Play it at bed time—I use earbuds and throw it under my pillow.

    Right now, I’m listening to Kings & Generals and Operations Room audio. In the past, I’ve done Futurama audio.

      The sweet sweet, soothing voice of Robert Stack on “Unsolved Mysteries”. I’ve seen damn near every episode, so it’s become like a “comfort food”… puts me to sleep almost everytime

      Futurama has been my go-to for years at this point.

      I just let old Drawfee episodes play on low volume while I sleep. Multiple familiar voices seems to be more effective to me.

      This is exactly a trick of mine. It has to be already listened to, so that it’s a more passive listening experience.

      Sometimes it also helps if the content of the audio does not clue me in to how far through the video I am. That’s just one less “I’m not falling asleep fast enough” indicator to keep me awake longer.

      I’ve taken to listening to the Cobalt Core soundtrack, I never remember getting very far so I guess it works.

      I use one of those sleep masks with the built-in earphones to listen to different kinds of music and/or rain and thunder. Oddly I tend to like creepy and scary music or ambiance.
