    Road cycling races. In particular sprint stages from the grand tours from Eurosport or TNT/Max streaming. The coverage for these races is typically over two hours long, and there are no commercial breaks. There’s very little action until the final 10 minutes or so, so the commentary is fairly monotonous until then. I just make sure to set my TV’s sleep timer to shut it off before then.

    I find a random 3 hour youtube video and put it on.

    If its something I’m interested in I’m gonna watch it instead of falling asleep.

    Not shows but YT videos. Starts with a couple of fig tree vids where she recaps Gilgamesh, Oedipus, Madea, and then goes in to Mike’s Mic Appropriately Unhinged Lost Season 1-4 Recap.

    Highly recommend both for entertainment but they’re easy to sleep by as well.

    I don’t, but I’ll listen to a podcast or audio book before I settle down to sleep.

    I’ve never really had a TV in my bedroom so never got into the habit of having the TV on while I’m sleeping

    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.

    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.

    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.
