What a great idea, I feel li... zzz

fastsleep.app does kinda similar thing... but instead of long podcasts, you are given something to imagine at a time interval.

Like if you hear "calm river", imagine that. If you hear "heavy rain over a tree", imagine that.

In short → Close your eyes, listen & imagine.

Am I the only one that can't fall asleep to music? I need human voice rhythms, so podcasts, or whatever. The downside is not learning anything from the podcast because I'm asleep and it works its way into dreams sporadically
I can't fall asleep to either. I can tolerate noise, like a thunderstorm, but even construction sounds are interesting enough to keep me up with questions like: "I wonder what tool makes that sound."
