A book.
ASMR videos. I know some people associate them with fetish stuff but they’re really varied and most are just about relaxing.
I listen to a small fan generating white noise and sometimes my cat purring
Darkness and a home server fan
Almost all the suggestions here are videos. Who wants light from a screen keeping them awake when they are trying to sleep? Put on some very quiet music instead. Best for me is when it’s something I know pretty well.
I usually just have an earbud in and face the screen of my phone/tablet down on the nightstand.
I have a giant monitor and just press two buttons and it turns the brightness and contrast all the way down to where it’s just visible enough to watch and barely illuminate the room, but dark enough to have hella darkness with my eyes closed.
Whatever book I’m currently reading.
Classic movies, usually from TCM. I love classics but they’re often fantastic to fall asleep to with their slower stories and quieter dialog.
Dr Roy Casagranda lectures on YouTube lately.

D&D lore, or any other fictional lore is really good for this. It’s not nearly interesting enough to really keep my attention, but just interesting enough that I kinda half listen.
Put this on, and just try to stay awake at night, I dare you.
For background listening while I’m winding down in the evening I like something a little more interesting, and my best for that is probably SEA. One of the best astronomy channels around.
Silence. It’s not uncommon for me to fall asleep watching a Jaws or Alien movie, either.
As I transition to being an old man I’m increasingly falling asleep on the couch while my wife and I watch through the Alone show again. It’s quite relaxing.
I use Futurama. It’s my comfort show and I’ve watched it so much it makes me sleepy now haha
Hell yeah Futurama sleepers ftw. There used to be a sub for it.
Anything but jurassic bark 😭
I always wake up when Jurassic Bark comes on and it’s a real bummer. So I don’t watch Futurama going to bed anymore.
Feldup, the French version of scare theater or other channels like that.
If it is really noisy or I need to sleep during the day (working shifts), waves sound from my Ozlo sleepbuds.
