    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.

      Same. Whatever I’m currently listening to I add a bookmark before bed and go back to that point the next time I listen.

        My audiobook player has a sleep timer that after it expires, will gradually fade out to nothing.

        Best part is if you’re still awake enough that you notice it happening you can just shake your phone (with an adjustable intensity) without turning the screen on or anything and it resets the sleep timer.

        My ability to fall asleep has never been better.

    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.

    Dreamscape ASMR (YouTube channel)

    Every vid is a thoroughly thought out and immersive artistic experience, unlike many ASMR channels with regular soft talking in the room.

    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.

    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.
