White noise? A fan? Music? What genre? Videos?
I used to be an ASMR person. Then I'd watch league of legends games. Then I watched Binding of Isaac gameplay, now I watch Northernlion! I go back to ASMR if I'm having a particularly hard night, but I find the banter from games quiets my thoughts in way idle sounds don't
But that's enough about me, what about you?
two things awe me most: the starry sky above me, and the moral law within me" Uhm horror YT videos
For me it needs to be really dark and completely silent.
Depends on how I'm feeling. white or brown noise, thunderstorm and rain sounds, fireplace sounds. Sometimes an audiobook I want to listen to and sometimes a horrifically boring one on purpose. Lectures on youtube. Retro tv asmr. Or complete silence.
@xXMissParamourXx I'm learning there are lots of kinds of noise I'm not aware of... I should look into this!!
two things awe me most: the starry sky above me, and the moral law within me" i fall asleep to the ac on really loud but if its music, its usually modern baseball, alex g, or panic! at the disco but ONLY the pretty. odd. alternative versions
Silence. If there's noise, I won't fall asleep, or at least it'll take a lot longer.
The good old "Not tired enough" and passing out the next day middle of the day.
I can't sleep normally, I wake up too much and move a lot. So I just stay awake until break point. We could be listening to Hardstep or Uptempo and I wouldn't bat an eye while snoring. . .
ASMR or a podcast
my ceiling fan that sounds like a wind tunnel :)
Slapped Ham, mostly.
either the sally face soundtrack, Burzum, one of my chill playlists or my black metal playlist.
staring at the ceiling
It depends on the season:
Winter: silence (and a purring cat snuggling close)
Spring: wind, rain/storms and spring frogs (there’s a wetland nearby)
Summer: crickets, rain and/or storms, evening birds and frogs.
Fall: migratory birds and their flight calls, wind.
@Kommando Mutiliid that's so interesting! it's cool to think about knowing when the seasons change like that :)
two things awe me most: the starry sky above me, and the moral law within me" I simply cannot sleep without multiple fans going and when i get bad night anxiety i listen to silent hill ambient music
it rly depends for me tbh. for most of my life it's been nothing but the night breeze and whatever other sounds came in through my open windows, or the sound of the ac running. and i'm still perfectly happy to sleep that way and often do
but for the past couple years or so i've started falling asleep to whatever tv show or yt vid fits the mood that night. since i don't want to put on anything i'd actually want to pay attention to, i usually choose long time favorite/comfort tv shows (been on a personal nostalgia kick recently for some reason, tonight i've put on star trek tos to sleep to) or long edits of streamers i love (mostly jerma, sometimes game grumps or nothernlion)
when i'm having a lot of trouble sleeping i'll put on a mix of rain sounds and brown noise (similar idea to white noise but a different frequency). or if i'm really desperate i try those guided sleep meditations lol
no idea why i felt the need to ramble so much about this but there you go ;>w>
Well since my house is sadly located next to a road I mostly fall asleep to the sounds of passing cars and trucks :)
@(m)tropy real! they say you take stuff on while you sleep (or so those "reinforce language learning while you sleep" videos say), i feel like scary stuff would give me nightmares lol
two things awe me most: the starry sky above me, and the moral law within me" @xxPawlinaPoisonxx the Eternian princess interesting!! any kind of video? let's plays, multiplayer videos, speedbuilds?
two things awe me most: the starry sky above me, and the moral law within me" @Vodkuh Do you ever go back and watch them when you wake up if it's something you wanted to watch? sometimes I get picky about the videos I pick because I remember them just enough I get annoyed to rewatch, or don't wanna figure out where I fell asleep
