The issue I’ve always had is that I can’t sleep without noise. Without a show/podcast, my brain just won’t stop…wanting to think? But with something on, it’s like it goes into passive mode and falls asleep. It’s the difference between falling asleep in 15 minutes versus staying awake until 3AM 🤷🏻♀️
Are you me? XD I still have a lot of sleep problems, but I've noticed I can get to sleep a lot sooner if I put on a show or podcast that I've listened to before. If it's new, I'm paying too much attention to it. Otherwise, it's just good vibes into slumberland.
The same for me, except it has to be white noise/a fan, something that's bland and blocks out all the things my brain could jump on board with thinking about. Falling asleep in a completely silent room is almost impossible...
