    Bad habit, your brain needs a lack of talking heads when you sleep.

    If silence doesn’t work for you, try something with steady noise. Some use white noise generators, for me it’s the whir from an air purifier.

      Background noise can really help people with PTSD sleep through the night. Give it a go if this applies to you

      This is ideal, some people can’t shut off the voice in their head, so the next best thing to silence is listening to someone else who isn’t talking about whether you’ll find a job tomorrow or a boyfriend or ask about that growth you just noticed on your leg…

        Yep can confirm. The best thing is having a calm voice talk about something I don’t care about, so the voice in my head shuts up and I can sleep

    It’s been a while, but How It’s Made. That guy could put anyone to sleep

    Nothing. By separating sleep time and TV time, I’m less likely to fall asleep before I’m ready, and I fall asleep much faster when it’s bedtime.

    They used to do episodes of How It’s Made for the UK with a nice soothing accent that seemed tailor made to send me to sleep. They stopped showing them so I tried to watch the original American versions but (and I apologise) but the voice is horrible so I switched to reruns of Bullseye from the 80s but now I don’t watch TV before bed.

    Not a show but a movie, And I use it to take afternoon naps.

    U571. I really like the movie.

    There is a scene right in the beginning of the movie where Matthew McConaughey greets a family at a wedding/ball I generally fall asleep right there and wake up 45 minutes later with the first torpedo attack.

    It’s wild. It’s almost like a Timer, I used to take a nap.

      Futurama for me originally, then Rick and Morty for a while until they released the episode where a character says “Hey Siri Call 911” and after being woken up to my device confirming a call to emergency services I had to switch back to Futurama.
