One of my greatest memories is performing at the Chinati Foundation. Marfa is such a gem with tons of cool people just being creative out in the desert.

#82short of this radio, you can also play Stellardrone https://stellardrone.bandcamp.com/
Anything works really. I think whatever music you enjoy works. I have fallen asleep to Morbid Angel and Vader, so I assume those who like this type of music would also fall asleep to Stellardrone.

#83There is a similar podcast, "Boring Books for Bedtime": https://www.boringbookspod.com/episodes . The problem with that podcast is that most of their selections are genuinely interesting - I even listened to them on long drives (e.g. "Origin of Species"). Even something I thought would boring like or "Farm Engines and how to Run" them turned out to be fascinating. This one, on the other hand, seems to be genuinely bo…
> This one, on the other hand, seems to be genuinely boring. I couldn't get past the intro.
The professionals…
On a related note reading HN comments is a prime example of sleepy text. Gets me every time.

Re: Marfa Public Radio Puts You to Sleep
#87Northwoods Baseball Radio Network is my favorite. It’s a fictional baseball league based primarily in Wisconsin. Games are called by a droning announcer. Even the fake commercials between innings are monotonous. I listen to it during the day too. I’m very tempted to score some of the games, but I’m a little worried I’d find holes like only 2 outs in an inning or missing innings in a game. https://www.sleepbaseball.co…
Michigan. Though there are fictional Wisconsin teams in the fictional league.

#88Marfa is an amazing little town. I was there 3 months ago; while it is out of the way, even as a visitor, everyone is nice and genuinely there to provide an amazing artistic experience. If you ever want to experience the actual weird, southwestern, cowboy country, go to Marfa. And have a drink outside this public radio station. It's quite a nice getaway.
My wife and I had our wedding in Marathon which is in the other side of Alpine. We both love the area and my oldest son is named Jett after James Dean’s character in the movie Giant which was filmed in and near those towns. Did you find the pay phone in Marfa that just plays Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off through the handset? Hah it’s a magical desert out that way.

#89Earlier quoted context omitted.
In the middle the YouTube Advertisements starts playing at a louder volume and you wake up :)
Amazes me how people in a tech industry paying six figures refuse to pay a tiny percentage of their income to get rid of adverts on something that consumes so much time.
Paying for YouTube does not get rid of ads. Only using sponsor block does.

The Sleep With Me Podcast is very good. It helped my wife when she had a period of insomnia. He has a number of tricks he uses from a monoto delivery, to meandering stories where the narrative constantly interrupts itself with. So you can’t really “follow along”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_with_Me_(podcast)
Lifelong insomniac (racing thoughts, probably ADHD-related) and this podcast cured me.
To anyone who tries it, it's important to know upfront: there's nothing to "get." It's nonsense. It exhausts the brain without being interesting enough to keep it running.
