Dark room, turn on something boring/soothing on TV, turn sleep timer on 30 min, turn tv screen off, lay in a cozy comfortable position and close my eyes and listen.

My technique as well. I need a distraction from my own thoughts so I turn on something that's not too stimulating. Definitely no news. Often something I've seen before though right now it's Unsooolved Mysteries. LOTR is a soothing choice

I tend to pick things with no sudden loud noises or music, like documentaries or standup comedy. Some shows like Seinfeld work pretty well too.
