Right now I prefer reading, but for a while it was Star Trek: The Next Generation.

They used to do episodes of How It's Made for the UK with a nice soothing accent that seemed tailor made to send me to sleep. They stopped showing them so I tried to watch the original American versions but (and I apologise) but the voice is horrible so I switched to reruns of Bullseye from the 80s but now I don't watch TV before bed.

Bad habit, your brain needs a lack of talking heads when you sleep.

If silence doesn't work for you, try something with steady noise. Some use white noise generators, for me it's the whir from an air purifier.

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.

This is ideal, some people can't shut off the voice in their head, so the next best thing to silence is listening to someone else who isn't talking about whether you'll find a job tomorrow or a boyfriend or ask about that growth you just noticed on your leg....

This was how I felt until the tinnitus started to get more noticeable. Variable soft sounds are great now.

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.

I do not watch TV to fall asleep, too stimulating. I read for a little bit, but mostly just try to close my eyes in silence.

Futurama

Futurama for me originally, then Rick and Morty for a while until they released the episode where a character says "Hey Siri Call 911" and after being woken up to my device confirming a call to emergency services I had to switch back to Futurama.

What ever interesting but too long video YouTube happens to be recommending at the time. Though if the title tells me to go to sleep watching it, I'll pick another.

Background noise can really help people with PTSD sleep through the night. Give it a go if this applies to you

SpongeBob. Only the early seasons though, before it got "gross" when it changed production.

I know every episode off by heart. Stuff is always happening, but the humour is kind of low key, y'know? Like there's a lot of talking and calm music. Even the yelling and creepy episodes are pretty tame, like a campfire story.

Yep can confirm. The best thing is having a calm voice talk about something I don't care about, so the voice in my head shuts up and I can sleep

Last time my girlfriend and I had the flu at the same time, we spent our days on the couch, snoozing in and out of consciousness, with Bob's Burgers on the TV.
We felt so shitty, but Bob's Burgers made it all a little less shitty.

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.

Only for napping on the Couch: Everybody hates Chris.

That Show was there when I was deep into my depression. It just Ran on tv. Didn't Like it at first, but it grew onto me. Now I know it very well and that comforts me.

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.

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
