I feel like I leave this comment every few months on HN but the podcast “Sleep with Me” has been so immensely helpful to me that I take every opportunity to share it. Something about Scooter’s voice and the way he talks about nothing gets my brain in just the right spot to turn off. It has been more effective for me than any sleep aid medication I’ve tried.
I know it won’t be a magic bullet for everyone but trying a podcast for a few nights is about as low-risk as a potential insomnia solution gets.
I’m not affiliated with the podcast at all other than being a very happy listener. Or maybe non-listener is a more accurate term? I’m usually asleep in the first ten minutes or so.
- chimen 6y agoI fall asleep too using podcasts but that only works for 1-2 hours then I wake up without being able to fall asleep again.
