Usually a science video on yt

The crickets and frogs outside through an open window.

Long form gaming videos like 8 hour review of Morrowind, 12 hour review of Oblivion, or 20 hour review of Skyrim.

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.

The non musical family guy episodes.

It's the only comedy show where there's no laugh track, loud noises, and they explain every scene as it's happening.

Luetin09 more Warhammer Lore then you can poke a stick at.

Usually nothing but silence, but if I can not sleep or am thinking to loud I try to distract myself with some glitch in the matrix or anything by as the Raven dreams.

"Words for granted" podcast

Cutting Edge Engineering. Aussie machinist who fixes large mining equipment parts

Horror movie soundtracks

Silence. It's not uncommon for me to fall asleep watching a Jaws or Alien movie, either.

Dr Roy Casagranda lectures on YouTube lately.

"Content"

Machining or lathe work videos. For some reason, it's very satisfying for some reason.

My kid swears by train-crossing channels on YT.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia or Seinfeld. I know they are always yelling but it soothes me. I think me visualizing the scenes as I listen helps.

Occasionally I fall asleep reading but I'm usually too interested in what I'm reading to sleep. Same with music it's either too interesting or too boring.

Astrum and or SEA. calm space documentaries. interesting enough to hold my attention and keep my mind from racing, not critical enough that I'm afraid to miss it.

Any video on WWII

Oliech. Belgian streamer who plays the Battleground mode of Hearthstone. I don't play that game but I watch his videos on Youtube and whenever I do, I fell asleep and usually sleep well.

Otherwise, silence.

I go to sleep listening to music. Some of my favorite sleep time artist:

Carbon based lifeform, Solar fields, Aes Dana, Emancipator, Album leaf, Random Rab, Sync 24, Ulrich Schnauss

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.

The inside of my eyelids have this weird shapes and light show, work every time.

Any sitcom made by Greg Daniels or Michael Schur.
