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)

    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.

    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.

    I have three go to genres. Old westerns, old martial arts movies, and the old Godzillas. Run them at low volume and off I go…

    Podcasts, all running at 70% speed:

    • The Empty Bowl
    • Sawbones
    • Bake On
    • What Roman Mars Can Learn About Con Law
    • Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me

    Bonus: I created shortcut that runs this playlist, sets the volume low, turns the speed down, and sets a sleep timer. I also have an automation that runs the shortcut whenever my phone connects to my Bluetooth speaker and my phone is in sleep focus.

    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.

    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

    I listen to a bunch of movies critics riffing on movies. It’s called adum and pals.

    it has a lot of volume changes but it’s been my main sleeping background for so long the screaming that occasionally comes up doesn’t wake me anymore.

    For years it was 30 Rock. Them Bob’s Burgers (good, but the songs are always louder than the show) and now back to 30 Rock

    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.
