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.
I read to sleep.
Right now I prefer reading, but for a while it was Star Trek: The Next Generation.
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.
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
My thoughts would overwhelm the silence, and well, we can’t have that.
Background noise can really help people with PTSD sleep through the night. Give it a go if this applies to you
It’s been a while, but How It’s Made. That guy could put anyone to sleep
He can also get you pretty drunk if you take a drink every time he says “a worker”.
I can’t sleep if there’s any sort of talking. For some reason I can’t tune it out and my mind latches onto every word
My ex would go to sleep to those CSI and true crime murder porn shows and I’d be laying there, mad, exhausted, with a pillow over my head, but still invested in whether or not the over-helpful neighbor was the real killer.
PBS spacetime. The concepts get me tired and sleepy
Any long run laugh track sitcom ie Mike & Molly or Mom (Netflix).
Star Trek: Voyager
None. Can’t do it. If there are voices some FOMO bit of my brain has to listen to what they’re saying and I can’t sleep.
I do listen to music sometimes, for some reason lyrics don’t have the same effect on me as speech.

Adventure Time
I don’t often, but Drifting off with Joe Pera.
Joe Pera is mine too, both the podcast and some episodes of the show too.
If you stay up long enough, you can also catch Dr. Brule
Thank you Mr. huqrugus. To your health!
I’m a doctor too you dingus!
I know.
They used to do episodes of How It’s Made for the UK with a nice soothing accent that seemed tailor made to send me to sleep. They stopped showing them so I tried to watch the original American versions but (and I apologise) but the voice is horrible so I switched to reruns of Bullseye from the 80s but now I don’t watch TV before bed.
