Normally, I fall asleep to this white noise, but for some reason, I also fall asleep to From Afar by Ensiferum and I mean that I sleep like a baby. I don't mean that I just barely can fall asleep to it. It feels amazingly good. My theory is that it makes me drift off to places in my mind that feel good, that are not of this shitty world, which in turn induces sweet dreams. No idea.

How about you? Anybody here falling asleep, studying or meditate to Dimmu Borgir's Indoctrination or the likes? 🤣😛

I had a friend in highschool who claimed to sleep better listening to metal like Cradle of Filth and Powerman 5000. I crashed at his place a few times and he would put the music on loud, like had to yell to be heard over it loud. Not a chance I could fall asleep like that but he was snoring by the time I decided seeming cool and going along wasn't as valuable as good sleep. He lived in a detached guest house in the backyard, so I guess his parents never noticed.

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.
