Does anyone else struggle to fall asleep without sound? What do you listen to?

My insomnia is quite severe so I’m open to checking out what helps you guys + any suggestions!


  • For audiobooks I have my favourite story: War of the worlds, Lovecraft stories, Thomas Ligotti stories, between two fires, man after man, journey to the west and Dracula with some distant thunderstorm SFX.

  • For podcasts I have this past weekend with Theo Von, RIP Jordan Jensen, the soder podcast and the steph infection podcast (probably my favourite comedy podcast right now for the medical theme)

  • For let’s plays i stick to oneyplays (there are compilations with distant thunderstorm SFX added) and the consolation guys.

  • For music at a low volume I’ll do the Rolling Stones, iggy pop, David Bowie or a low-fi black metal mix. I also have “sounds of the humpback whale” on vinyl I’ll leave spinning.

  • The light bothers me from the television… but sometimes I’ll run old Showa era Kamen Rider v3, Ultra Q or Ultraseven episodes.
