Does anyone else find absolute silence difficult to deal with? In particular difficult to sleep in complete silence?
I think it started from a young age, being obsessed with music. Falling asleep with music.
As an adult, I still struggle with this and need some form of audio to drift off, be it music or something else.
More recently, I find stand-up comedy works best - it's light-hearted and doesn't require too much thought.
I usually fall asleep to a podcast. One that is interesting, but not so interesting that it'll keep me up. A history podcast or something like that.
I do this too. Unmade Podcast is my sleeping podcast. 2 dudes talking podcast. It's a little hard without it.
I quite like We Have Ways podcast, although they never balance their mics so one of them ends up blasting my ears waking me up while you can't hear the other one at low volume ๐
