A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

It's been a while, but How It's Made. That guy could put anyone to sleep
Nothing. By separating sleep time and TV time, I'm less likely to fall asleep before I'm ready, and I fall asleep much faster when it's bedtime.
I read to sleep.
Bad habit, your brain needs a lack of talking heads when you sleep.
If silence doesn't work for you, try something with steady noise. Some use white noise generators, for me it's the whir from an air purifier.
This is ideal, some people can't shut off the voice in their head, so the next best thing to silence is listening to someone else who isn't talking about whether you'll find a job tomorrow or a boyfriend or ask about that growth you just noticed on your leg....
They used to do episodes of How It's Made for the UK with a nice soothing accent that seemed tailor made to send me to sleep. They stopped showing them so I tried to watch the original American versions but (and I apologise) but the voice is horrible so I switched to reruns of Bullseye from the 80s but now I don't watch TV before bed.
Any long run laugh track sitcom ie Mike & Molly or Mom (Netflix).
How the Universe Works
Right now I prefer reading, but for a while it was Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Babylon 5
Star Trek: Voyager
