do you watch videos before sleep?

[zassou]

i used to have trouble sleeping, only able to sleep when im very tired, its fixed now.

altho i still need to something to do other than staring at the pitch black ceiling.

 

recently i got hook by "silent" restoration videos (thanks youtube algorithm lord). where the host is doing restoration work on mainly old rusted tools, and sometime others as well.

there is little to no talking during these videos, often no background music as well, its weirdly satisfying to watch, and really help the transition to sleep.

channels like black beard projects,  torbjorn arman,  and really random channel (he is restoring a honda super cub) are among my favourites.

I often catch up on my Youtube subs on my laptop when I'm in bed. Mostly automotive and tech vloggers, no specific content in the videos that help me relax though.

 

I nod off around a certain time because all the LMG videos are boring because of my bodyclock

I have blue light filter on so i can watch them without my intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells telling my brain to stop secreting melatonin and thereby disrupting my circadian rythm.

I only have time for my favorite series before I go to sleep. I like watching sports as well. Don't know why, I'm always calm and ready to sleep after watching WWE, boxing or something like that. The app I use (review) allows watching this stuff right from smartphone. I use a smartphone for watching stuff before sleep because there is an opportunity to set the automatic turn-off there.

Yup, everyday, when i get up too, i usually have a full "watch later" youtube playlist and that's how i keep it in check

i generally go to bed and read for an hour or so, i sometimes get tired and drop the tablet on my face (ebooks are the best), which is when i know it's time to roll over and actually go to sleep

i do. i also listen to streams and youtube video's while i sleep... i can't sleep in silence. i'll either not fall asleep or sleep really bad.

Watching videos keeps me up.  If i can't sleep I usually try to get work done instead.  That's usually why I can't sleep.

Yes, but I use a blue light filter to reduce brightness and color warmness to 2250K and 20% brightness at night.

SunsetScreen on PC. (Kind of like F.lux, but does more, unless F.lux changed dramatically in the last year)

Midnight on Android. (There's plenty of other apps as well)

Android has a built in blue light filter that works great.

I just listen to a midnight show on the radio for like 5 minutes and fall asleep

Unfortunately, not available on all android devices.

It became a feature only starting Android Oreo. (Technically Nougat (7.0) as well, but it was exclusive to Pixel phones)

Not all of us feel the need to buy a new phone every year to get the latest OS.
