If I don't overshoot my planned sleeping time by 1 hour doomscrolling, I'm usually sick.

If I don't put on a decent to good movie I've already seen several times AND brown noise (not to be confused with the theorized Brown Note), odds are I don't fall asleep for several hours if at all.
Sleep advice and other such "lifehacks" are seldom very ADHD-friendly and can be borderline ableist at times.
Yes, I usually watch tv or a movie in bed and it also has to be something I've seen before so I'm not kept awake wanting to see what happens next. Also it has to be not too funny, not too sad, or make me just too happy to see, etc. Interesting enough for me to want to watch it at all, boring enough for me to fall asleep quickly. It can be tricky sometimes.
I have this 1 have this one creator, The Exploring series covering mainly SCP who has just the right monotone with no special sound effects to perk you alert. He started on youtube but has 95% of his material on spotify as well. His stuff plus a dose of melatonin 2H before when I want to go sleep mode is what does it for me.I've solely used his material to sleep for more than 4 years now (uploads once a week so Ive gone through his whole production multiple times). Been trying to find a comparable podcaster but no luck so far. Either they have too much background music, use sound effects or too much variance in speech volume & tone. Any recomendations are welcome.
Mmmmmmm, brown noise <3
