I recently realized that listening to a "boring" podcast or youtube videos while trying to fall asleep will shut down all those voices and thoughts.
- sillysaurus3 9y agoIt does. But now it's almost impossible to sleep without it. I'm not sure which is worse.
- probablybroken 9y agoYes - I've used ASMR videos for the same purpose; Gently varying sounds seem to be enough to suppress the internal dialogue for me.
- BurningFrog 9y agoThere is a window between "interesting enough that it keeps my attention" and "not interesting enough that I need to hear the whole thing" that works for me. It can't have a narrative arc that makes you want to hear the end, so mostly it's witty but aimless conversations, and newscasts type programs.
