    "Do you lay awake wondering what FCC compliance entails?"

    I guessing FCC compliance doesn't involve knowing the difference between lay and lie. Or maybe they fell asleep in English class. X-p

    fastsleep.app does kinda similar thing... but instead of long podcasts, you are given something to imagine at a time interval.

    Like if you hear "calm river", imagine that. If you hear "heavy rain over a tree", imagine that.

    In short → Close your eyes, listen & imagine.

    > It's a sleep podcast wherein we read you the boring documents essential to our jobs, in the hopes we might lull you into slumber.

    One of my greatest memories is performing at the Chinati Foundation. Marfa is such a gem with tons of cool people just being creative out in the desert.

    I am using https://www.youtube.com/@EpicNate for the same purpose. Works like a charm.

    another is "Sleep With Me" by Dearest Scooter which are nonsensical steam of consciousness monologues.

    Am I the only one that can't fall asleep to music? I need human voice rhythms, so podcasts, or whatever. The downside is not learning anything from the podcast because I'm asleep and it works its way into dreams sporadically

      I can't fall asleep to either. I can tolerate noise, like a thunderstorm, but even construction sounds are interesting enough to keep me up with questions like: "I wonder what tool makes that sound."
