I used to have a lot of trouble with insomnia, but a few years ago I discovered Drachinifel's YouTube channel about naval history https://m.youtube.com/@Drachinifel

Now I fall asleep listening to his 'drydock' Q&A episodes or lectures on historical campaigns, technologies, etc. & it's not really a problem at all anymore. It's been amazingly helpful.

I find the content interesting enough that I don't feel bored & restless, but not so urgent or exciting that it keeps me up. And I get multiple nights out of each episode by falling asleep fairly quickly

Just thought I'd share in case it works for anyone else

Mine is Mindscape podcast. The AMA episodes are multi hour and filled with intelligent information. I do worry that on bad nights I might not be getting the sleep my brain needs because there’s a feed of input unrelated to my life.
