Usually a science video on yt
Usually nothing but silence, but if I can not sleep or am thinking to loud I try to distract myself with some glitch in the matrix or anything by as the Raven dreams.
The non musical family guy episodes.
It's the only comedy show where there's no laugh track, loud noises, and they explain every scene as it's happening.

This guy's videos. He has the perfect cadence and voice for it, and the right video length too. To be perfectly honest I have no idea if the content of the videos is good, but they're very useful.
This... JMG is the best. Him and Isaac Arthur...
The crickets and frogs outside through an open window.
Cutting Edge Engineering. Aussie machinist who fixes large mining equipment parts
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia or Seinfeld. I know they are always yelling but it soothes me. I think me visualizing the scenes as I listen helps.
Occasionally I fall asleep reading but I'm usually too interested in what I'm reading to sleep. Same with music it's either too interesting or too boring.
Astrum and or SEA. calm space documentaries. interesting enough to hold my attention and keep my mind from racing, not critical enough that I'm afraid to miss it.
Horror movie soundtracks
Dreamscape ASMR (YouTube channel)
Every vid is a thoroughly thought out and immersive artistic experience, unlike many ASMR channels with regular soft talking in the room.
Oliech. Belgian streamer who plays the Battleground mode of Hearthstone. I don't play that game but I watch his videos on Youtube and whenever I do, I fell asleep and usually sleep well.
Otherwise, silence.
The inside of my eyelids have this weird shapes and light show, work every time.
Any video on WWII
Any sitcom made by Greg Daniels or Michael Schur.
I go to sleep listening to music. Some of my favorite sleep time artist:
Carbon based lifeform, Solar fields, Aes Dana, Emancipator, Album leaf, Random Rab, Sync 24, Ulrich Schnauss
"Content"
Dr Roy Casagranda lectures on YouTube lately.

Machining or lathe work videos. For some reason, it's very satisfying for some reason.
