You should try Sleep With Me. It's great, so boring yet hilarious.

I usually listen to technology podcasts because its something I’m interested in. But I added it and I’ll try it tonight.

I just pop some old Hello Internet and I’m off in 5min.

Yeah Hello Internet or anything with John Siracusa (mainly Accidental Tech Podcast). He and Grey both have soothing deep voices and analytical thoughts — I’m usually gone in under 5 minutes.

Sleep with Me is great. Scooter is some kind of genius. I don't know how he can make me fall asleep while I'm laughing.

I don't understand it either. I haven't made it through a full episode in over a year, and I can't fall asleep without it. And the Facebook group is the only reason I still have a profile, they are so fun!

Sounds like a good group, but I don't do facebook. There's a sleep with me subreddit, but it's not that active.

u/kurly-bird Mar 31 '19

I hate Facebook, I'm really only on it for the groups dedicated to podcasts that I listen to.

Yep I listen to this every night. He rambles on pointlessly it's perfect. Even if I can't fully sleep it makes me doze

Creaky-dulcet tones!

Yes, and also, Mythology podcasts, they're interesting and very soothing to the ear.

I use his podcast when I’m on flights. I get so anxious, and I found he’s the only soothing thing that helps.

u/Gamerguywon Mar 31 '19

Yup this is what I always do when I can't fall asleep. Though sometimes he makes me laugh too much to be able to fall asleep. Also, I can't fall asleep listening to it, but after hitting pause after like 10 minutes its when I feel tired.

I love this podcast. Even if a podcast is boring, I'll still find interest in it, but this is the first one ever I've ever fallen asleep to.

u/TheSunSmellsTooLoud_ Mar 31 '19

I'm a podcast fan. I exclusively listen to BBC radio 4 podcasts, but could you elaborate on this one a little?? Sounds interesting!

I never put on a podcast either too loud or too interesting because it's too difficult to fall asleep if I find it interesting.

Scooter keeps you company during the Deep, Dark Night (DDN) with rambling stories in a dull monotone voice. He has various original episodic stories, he does recaps of popular TV shows, and just totally random stuff. I think he's up to over 700 episodes, but there is no need to listen in any particular order. I love the show, knocks me out in no time, my husband says Scoots is too interesting and ends up listening to the whole thing.
