Star Trek Voyager. I was never a fan, but it has soft sounds and the volume never gets too loud unlike a lot of other shows. That said, I’m hoping to find new suggestions here :)

serial experiments lain

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.

Game Gumps has been my background noise/sleep noise for a decade now. I started watching them right before Jon left and after rediscovering them a year later and loving Danny, I just started falling asleep with them on.

And now 10 years later they are almost always on my TV if I’m not actively watching something. I’ve just been watching them for so long that their voices are very comfortable and soothing (even when they’re both screaming their asses off lol)

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.

• robot chicken
• tales from the bus tour
• friends
• archer

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…

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

Cinnamon Toast Ken has been my latest addition. And Papa Meat, but he has a tendency to yell.

Almost any space, or nature documentary. Narration has that soporific element.

I really love watching Insym and Drawfee on YouTube to sleep :)

Mystery diagnosis.

Usually space videos on the astrum YouTube channel

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.

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.
