Pink Floyd: Dark side of the moon

Usually nothing but silence, but if I can not sleep or am thinking to loud I try to distract myself with some glitch in the matrix or anything by as the Raven dreams.

Long edits of Jerma streams :D

This guy's videos. He has the perfect cadence and voice for it, and the right video length too. To be perfectly honest I have no idea if the content of the videos is good, but they're very useful.

This... JMG is the best. Him and Isaac Arthur...

"Words for granted" podcast

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

The non musical family guy episodes.

It's the only comedy show where there's no laugh track, loud noises, and they explain every scene as it's happening.

I like to listen to podcasts/youtube videos about religion. The two I use the most are Religion for Breakfast and Let's Talk Religion. I also sometimes listen to "Fall of Civilizations Podcast". I always get bored if I do nothing but listen to podcast, which helps me sleep.

I do wish I could listen to that last one though, since I like history and the production quality is good. A video can hold my attention for longer than a podcast for some reason.

Cutting Edge Engineering. Aussie machinist who fixes large mining equipment parts

Long form gaming videos like 8 hour review of Morrowind, 12 hour review of Oblivion, or 20 hour review of Skyrim.

My kid swears by train-crossing channels on YT.

Astrum and or SEA. calm space documentaries. interesting enough to hold my attention and keep my mind from racing, not critical enough that I'm afraid to miss it.

Horror movie soundtracks

Silence. It's not uncommon for me to fall asleep watching a Jaws or Alien movie, either.

Dr Roy Casagranda lectures on YouTube lately.

Zelda OOT or Majora's Mask speed runs.

Machining or lathe work videos. For some reason, it's very satisfying for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia or Seinfeld. I know they are always yelling but it soothes me. I think me visualizing the scenes as I listen helps.

Occasionally I fall asleep reading but I'm usually too interested in what I'm reading to sleep. Same with music it's either too interesting or too boring.

Spraycan artists videos on mute will put me to sleep. Could be someone on the street or at home.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Any video on WWII

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Oliech. Belgian streamer who plays the Battleground mode of Hearthstone. I don't play that game but I watch his videos on Youtube and whenever I do, I fell asleep and usually sleep well.

Otherwise, silence.

Dreamscape ASMR (YouTube channel)

Every vid is a thoroughly thought out and immersive artistic experience, unlike many ASMR channels with regular soft talking in the room.
