    Last time my girlfriend and I had the flu at the same time, we spent our days on the couch, snoozing in and out of consciousness, with Bob’s Burgers on the TV. We felt so shitty, but Bob’s Burgers made it all a little less shitty.

    What ever interesting but too long video YouTube happens to be recommending at the time. Though if the title tells me to go to sleep watching it, I’ll pick another.

      Futurama for me originally, then Rick and Morty for a while until they released the episode where a character says “Hey Siri Call 911” and after being woken up to my device confirming a call to emergency services I had to switch back to Futurama.

    I have a few that I put in rotation. Unbreakable kimmy schmidt, superstore, my name is earl and raising hope. I just like the noise they make while I close my eyes then at some point i pass out.

    SpongeBob. Only the early seasons though, before it got “gross” when it changed production.

    I know every episode off by heart. Stuff is always happening, but the humour is kind of low key, y’know? Like there’s a lot of talking and calm music. Even the yelling and creepy episodes are pretty tame, like a campfire story.

    Nothing. By separating sleep time and TV time, I’m less likely to fall asleep before I’m ready, and I fall asleep much faster when it’s bedtime.

    Not a show but a movie, And I use it to take afternoon naps.

    U571. I really like the movie.

    There is a scene right in the beginning of the movie where Matthew McConaughey greets a family at a wedding/ball I generally fall asleep right there and wake up 45 minutes later with the first torpedo attack.

    It’s wild. It’s almost like a Timer, I used to take a nap.

    Bad habit, your brain needs a lack of talking heads when you sleep.

    If silence doesn’t work for you, try something with steady noise. Some use white noise generators, for me it’s the whir from an air purifier.

      Background noise can really help people with PTSD sleep through the night. Give it a go if this applies to you

      This is ideal, some people can’t shut off the voice in their head, so the next best thing to silence is listening to someone else who isn’t talking about whether you’ll find a job tomorrow or a boyfriend or ask about that growth you just noticed on your leg…

        Yep can confirm. The best thing is having a calm voice talk about something I don’t care about, so the voice in my head shuts up and I can sleep
