Go to TV shows to nap to (1 Viewer)

[jamny]

I find that good documentaries, with a relaxed voiceover, are perfect to fall asleep to. Especially ones about astronomy where I can close my eyes and visualize what I'm hearing. I can't do it with movies or TV shows I'm into.

Oh, and baseball games. That works too.

 

[jamny]

Right now I've been using some hillbilly doc narrated by Billie Ray Cyrus. It's 2 hours long and will be good for at least 5 or 6 naps.

I spent one summer in college going to bed to Helter Skelter every night with the VCR on repeat so it played over and over all night. It helped me go to sleep but I think it really twisted me.

I did that with ELP's Brain Salad Surgery with probably the same result.

Falling asleep to golf is about as good as it gets.

Usually wake up after an hour or so and watch the end. :boner:

That knife scraping across the canvas could make me narcoleptic just thinking about it.

If I was really into golf, that would be a no-brainer.

I think a better list would be shows to fap to.

If you're having trouble falling asleep, try the Sleep With Me podcast. Guy with the most boring voice in the universe tells long bedtime stories that go nowhere and just drag on and on and on. Droning endlessly on side-tracks and endlessly winding b-plots that never advance the story.

Sometimes his voice will put me out in 3-4 minutes.

Hannibal

 

[grateful zed]

the LOTR trilogy is amazingly good for this.

once you have seen them a few times you dont have to follow along and can just relax to the amazing sountrack.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Don't know how many times I've taken the Sunday hangover nap to bowling on ESPN.

Awesome show, highly recommend. But it has a mood that I can't really describe, that often put me to sleep when I tried watching late at night while drinking.

This might fit perfect with my Shows to nap to thread.

How it's made or anything narrated by the guy from ken burns doc's.

Back when I followed NASCAR, a Sunday afternoon race was the perfect background noise for a nap on my futon in my one-bedroom apartment after closing down my "Norm" bar on a Saturday night.

Man, being single was awesome sometimes.

We're not sleeping, guy

 

[KarmaPolice]

Love Mad Men, but I do tend to nod off a lot with the pacing. Sometimes takes me a couple days to get through an episode as nap time takes over.

My mom could use some company. PM me for her number.

Just came in here to post this. It doesn't matter time of day or what I am doing. Dude's voice just put's me to sleep like a baby.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

The old History Channel stuff - now American Heroes Channel. Nice low narrative, can follow the stories and drift off - kids call it the Nazi Channel. Tough though when it has mostly the old Nazis speaking German with subtitles. Keep wanting to turn over and read them.

Science Channel, National Geographic are good too.

I used to go with the ID channel and all those murder channels with Bill Kurtis narration. But a couple of times that stuff ended up working on my dreams and I mostly have given those up. Still like Detective Joe Kendra though.

Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman.

Yes!

 

[jamny]

Ancient Aliens knocks me out within minutes.

I usually have some of these on my dvr but it doesn't work for me to sleep. They always say something so ridiculous that I have to open my eyes to see what they are talking about.

 

[Homer J Simpson]

Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman.

Yes!

Iif you have Netflix there's a good doc series called Earth: Power of the Planet hosted by some Scottish dude. Same guy hosts one called How to Grow a Planet.

The David Attenborough Wildlife Series is money as well. That guy's voice could knock out a 5 year old ADD patient on a coke bender.

As a child, there were many days I would come home from school exhausted, flip on Ross, and drift blissfully asleep for a half an hour or so.

I was saddened when he died from cancer. He was 53 or so. Ex-military guy. Gentle soul, it seemed.

Great idea.

For some reason I fall asleep easily to the podcasts I enjoy. This thing should almost be illegal.
