For me I need some background noise. Something to keep my mind from wandering.
I used to have a playlist of more relaxing songs I'd listen to when trying to fall asleep. But lately I honestly just put on a youtube video I've seen before. In particular videos where it's mostly just someone talking about something. Being the computer nerd I am vwestlife of cathode ray dude are my go tos
I fall asleep basically every night to a video essay on YouTube. Special thanks to Fern, Lemmino, and Tilted.
I do this in recent times, but I have to be honest, it's clearly less helpful and worse than the old days when I fell asleep to a book. And even now when I try substituting a paper book in for audio or video content I fall asleep faster.
So I guess that's a tip? Paper over audio over video?
