Nothing. As close to silence as possible.
Tinnitus gang hates this comment.
I can’t do silence, my thoughts are too loud. Rain sounds work well for me.
…white noise drowns out the ringing in my ears and calms the voices in my head…

…at some level i secretly suspect that sleeping under omnipresent white noise has only made my tinnitus worse over time, but that could also be a natural consequence of my ears aging-out…
(could also come from driving a convertible at speed while blasting music on a three-hour commute every day, if i’m honest)
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 😭
Cutting Edge Engineering. Aussie machinist who fixes large mining equipment parts
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.
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.
The crickets and frogs outside through an open window.
Any sitcom made by Greg Daniels or Michael Schur.
The inside of my eyelids have this weird shapes and light show, work every time.

This guy’s videos. He has the perfect cadence and voice for it, and the right video length too. To be perfectly honest I have no idea if the content of the videos is good, but they’re very useful.
This… JMG is the best. Him and Isaac Arthur…
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.
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.
My kid swears by train-crossing channels on YT.
Same. I’ve listened to so many I have a playlist pared down to just Japanese trains and specific crossings I found on YT. okok, Imma nerd. But still.
A book.
Adventure time
