Thanks for the link to the downloadable versions. I have the Feynman Lectures loaded on an old iPod and I find them to be an amazing sleep aid. This is not a criticism, they are engaging enough to take my mind off of whatever is keeping me up while also being baffling enough that I fall asleep during the extended sections of blackboard writing sounds. My current set of files is not as good as the recently re-edited Caltech set but I don't want an active Internet device by my bed. Unfortunately they occasionally lead to somewhat stressful dreams of being in college again. It's a risk I am generally willing to take.
- metalliqaz 5y agoI do this with astronomy youtube channels. SEA... mmmmmm
- erigonk 5y agoSEA is great, I would also recommend Cool Worlds [1] his videos are amazing and his voice is so soothing that I've reached a point where I can't sleep without having one of his videos playing.

- metalliqaz 5y agoYes I follow him as well. Also Astrum.
- dreadlordbone 5y agoI do this too, but with long form video game analysis (Joseph Anderson, Action Button). I wonder how much of a crutch it's creating for me however.
- beastman82 5y agoYeah I would stress dream regularly if I did this. Better to read a beach novel IMO
- stodor89 5y agoI love learning math or physics when it's past 11pm and sleep doesn't come. Either I'd fall asleep like normal people, or become a genius. So far it's been the former.
- eerikkivistik 5y agoI do the exact same thing. Listen to the lectures, they are fun and engaging and at some point I doze off.
