I highly recommend the podcast Sleep With Me. It’s extremely weird and the guy’s voice isn’t exactly “comforting” the way most sleep-inducing things try to be, but give it a few tries.
It’s basically bedtime “stories” that are more like improvised narrative mazes that are just interesting enough to keep your interest (and exhaust your brain) but not interesting or meaningful enough to keep you awake.
I went from laying awake for hours and hours as a general nightly routine to falling asleep reliably in 10-20 minutes. I didn’t even know it was possible to fall asleep that fast.
As a tip: There’s nothing to “get” about the podcast. It’s just a treadmill for the overactive parts of your brain.

- Hard_Space 3y ago> just interesting enough to keep your interest (and exhaust your brain) but not interesting or meaningful enough to keep you awake Exactly. Back when I read more, I would have books to stimulate (daytime/commute reading) and 'bedtime books', which had to be interesting enough to read, but also effortful and ultimately tiring enough to promote sleep. Now I do the same with TV shows in Plex, late at night. Unusually, it's the documentaries that stop me sleeping, and the classic US TV shows (that I like) that help me drift away.
- Waterluvian 3y agoI’m loving this podcast. The only thing I wish is that I could turn on an effect to make it sound like he’s on a medium quality FM radio signal as I’m driving.
