Has the opposite effect for my roomie and I; our brains latch onto the narrative and wont let go.

White noise like the dishwasher, or laundry going is what works best here. Just something that is without demanding your attention.

Addon to this: listen to something that you’ve listened to before. That way you’re not that intrigued to know what happens next.

Ya listen to horror stories before sleeping so you dream about it and have a more hard time sleeping after

For everyone who grew up with Reading Rainbow or just enjoy short stories, I highly suggest checking out Lavar Burton Reads. I listen to it on long car rides and and when going to sleep and it’s great.

The History of English Podcast puts me to sleep in 15 minutes or less every time. It's interesting content too, but delivered so calmly.

I listen to T90Official on YouTube commenting Age Of Empires 2 DE matches, helps me fall asleep.

I fall asleep to Dateline LOL! It’s weird but it does put me to sleep.

There are collections of old radio shows (mystery, adventure, scifi) in YouTube that I use for this. I like them because many have just black screens, and there's nothing tempting to watch.

I have been doing this from past 3 years. I hope these help people to sleep faster. YT channels:

  1. Lew Later
  2. John Michael godier
  3. Michael Sealey
  4. Motivational stories

HorrorBabble works for me. I’m a big fan of Ian Gordon and his voice.

My partner loves The Empty Bowl podcast. Two dudes talking about breakfast cereal in very calm even voices.

I really like listening to a podcast called Sigrdrifa to fall asleep, she has such a nice and calming voice and tells stories of Norse mythology

Also, headphones meant to wear while laying down and sleeping helps too. I listen to talk radio every night on mine and I am out within 5 minutes.

I never want to fall asleep, so this tip is not for me

best is to look my old collage mathematical analysis e lectures, max 5 minutes needed

I do this too, except with cult podcasts. My partner thought it was funny when we first started dating but he’s a witness to how it knocks me out within 5 min every time.

I like deeper voices to lull me to sleep so I listen to LeVar Burton Reads, Sean Carroll's Mindscape, or Startalk. Those podcasts put me out like a light in minutes. I am hopeful I'll learn some physics in my sleep, but I don't seem to be any smarter yet. Bummer! Bonus is that the podcasts also drown out the tinnitus.

Yep. This helped me for a while. But then I started working out and running long, slow runs, and there was never a day I ran in which I didn't sleep after 11. My eye shuts by itself.

The "Nothing Much Happens" podcast is perfect for this! Soft voice, soothing daily life style stories. The aurhor/host Kathryn Nicolai describes it as bedtime stories for grown ups.
