• I find listening to (already listened to—this part is important) stuff is like a sleeping pill. Rip YouTube videos and put just the audio on your phone. Play it at bed time—I use earbuds and throw it under my pillow.

    Right now, I’m listening to Kings & Generals and Operations Room audio. In the past, I’ve done Futurama audio.

      This is exactly a trick of mine. It has to be already listened to, so that it’s a more passive listening experience.

      Sometimes it also helps if the content of the audio does not clue me in to how far through the video I am. That’s just one less “I’m not falling asleep fast enough” indicator to keep me awake longer.
