People need noise to sleep? To me that seems counterproductive to sleep.
Gotta remember not everyone is wired the same way or responds to stimuli the same way.
Some sounds work great for sleeping, while others not so much. It might sound paradoxical, but silence also has a noise to it. For me, the noise of silence is hit or miss for sleeping, white noise is too sharp and annoying, and nature sounds are often a bit too distracting. What I’ve found works best for me is rounded brown noise.I like the rain and thunder sounds, it helps drown out my girlfriend’s snoring lol
That is exactly what I also do :)
It’s either music or my thoughts, and my brain is a real asshole without something to keep it occupied
There will be noise anyways ( washing machine / highway / tinnitus ) might as well put on something else of my own choosing.
In bed, I listen to podcasts of people talking about shitty movies. It drowns out the “party” in my head.
I listen to audiobooks, usually of a book I’ve already read so that I’m not too interested in what happens next.
I have a timer set to turn off after an hour. But I often have to rewind about 55 minutes the next day to find what I can remember before I fell asleep.
I listen creepypastas
Honestly, I’d say this depends more on the narration than the content. A good narrator can make any topic interesting, a great narrator can do that and make it soothing enough to fall asleep to.
Casefile and Dan Carlin are perfect for this.
Anything read by LeVar Burton.

"Welcome to my 8 hour video essay on the origins of the Salamander space marine faction. "
Scholar’s Lore is crazy good for that. I don’t listen to anything during a night’s sleep, but I love settling in for a nap with his channel going. Listening to the horrors of an unforgiving universe is so calming… Then I wake up and listen for real.
Ladies and gentlemen, my wife, every night. She’s onto some TV show that seems to be nothing but white trash committing white trash crimes. Half the show seems to be that same trash confessing to the cops. They just happily run their mouths for hours on end.
I can see how that would be oddly comforting. Shitty criminals failing spectacularly to get away with it.
Lowest panel should be the wake up alarm. My mornings have been so much better since using a talk radio station as a morning alarm. This is so much gentler than waking up to a blaring alarm noise. It’s quite pleasant having soft vocal sounds for waking up, and then lying in bed for 5 min listening to the radio rather than bashing snooze and sleeping again to wake up groggy to a blaring bell in 5min. Highly recommended.
Do not use a song as the morning alarm. You’ll end up hating the song.
What if I use Don’t Stop (Wiggle Wiggle) by The Outhere Brothers?
(Sorry I don’t use pipe tube and stuff. I’m working on it)
See my alarm is so purposefully blaring loud just so that I can’t go back to sleep after it’s went off
Purchasing a white noise machine was one of the greatest decisions of my life.
This is my wife
I had a coworker in the room adjacent to my computer who would play true crime docs without headphones during his lunch. It’s hard to focus on spreadsheets and stuff when you hear lines like “They found the body three days later, covered in blood and feces”.
