I turn it on at night and listen to 8-10 hours of sleep sounds.

What are "sleep sounds"? Like sounds of others sleeping? Do you experience silence anything during the day or any other time? I couldn't imagine having sounds while trying to sleep, it's my quiet time when I can fully focus on what's inside my head, and outside sounds tend to be distracting. But still interesting how we all are very different, no right or wrong :)

  ocean waves, the soft noises of a train moving, etc. I used to live very close to a subway station and the sound of it rattling became familiar and comforting eventually, so when I'm out in the countryside now it feels very quiet and I supplement with a white noise machine. It seems popular to use YouTube for a bespoke version of this - there's tons of 8 hour looping videos of rain storms, oceans, etc.

  Yes, the sounds of intense sleep apnea. Typically recording 4 or 5 people snoring overlaid into a harmony of sleep sound

    Understandable! I have my wife to reproduce the same setup so I guess I'm lucky to not having to depend on extra technology for the same thing.

      Completely off-grid, organic, no ads, completely private, no planned-obsolence, reproducible, reliable... the list goes on, lucky indeed!

  I throw on video game let's plays or long form retrospectives. If I'm left to myself, I'll end up keeping myself awake thinking about stuff. Funny enough, I usually spend more time picking what to sleep to than I actually spend awake once it starts playing. Most times I'm dead asleep within the first minute or two after spending five minutes making selections. If it goes quiet, I wake up.

    > If I'm left to myself, I'll end up keeping myself awake thinking about stuff That's the best part of disconnecting and going to bed, being cozy in the darkness with nothing but your thoughts and emotions. Interesting that others try to avoid that, thanks for sharing :)

      > the best part Depends on the type of thoughts that frequent your mind. Dozing off to sleep thinking about chatting with friends is quite different from worrying about your ailing family member. I assure you that the latter isn't something to look forward to for most people.

  lawn mowers, fans, fireplaces, rippling creeks, waves, snow storms, rain storms, and weird hums at various wavelengths.
