quinton is apparently so devoid of value that people treat him as background noise and nothing more, but doing the same to drawfee is insulting, they're good and entertaining, actually worth watching. you should be ashamed!

I honestly can't fathom using people having conversations as a standin for a sound machine. rainfall, white noise, or whatever other options on a noise machine are fine, but people talking is a no go for trying to get to sleep to for me.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

I have a group of 3-4 streamers who make long video game streams and are having great fun while doing so. Just in general a lot of laughter and maniacal cackling. A lot of the time I select one of their streams before I go to bed, as all this laughing and general merriment is oddly soothing.

It seems I sleep better when people are happy.


Edit:

the one time I actually used Quinton to sleep it turned out something in his voice just kept irritating me awake again, his videos are useless even as sleeping aid

People talking when I've heard it before works for me. I can't listen to anything new but I can go to sleep to a playlist of Mandalore or Grimbeard's videos or anyone else that has a pretty low key delivery. Like, if I already know the rhythm of it, it's like my brain can just tune into it and shut everything else off.

I just queue up my martial arts fight playlist and turn the volume down to about seven or so. Nothing like listening to a chair shatter on someone's back and think 'Oh that's definitely a Jackie Chan one' as you lose consciousness.

I think the reason I don’t like Quinton is he makes long videos about shows that I’ve always hated and creeped me out and still creep me out to this day so I don’t get it.

My first exposure to Quinton was his first Victorious video being shoved into my home feed and I always just asked myself "why is this hairy fat guy making an 8 hour video about a sitcom aimed at 12 year old girls."

For me it's this, and also for some reason it doesn't work with music or white noise like it does with talking.

I'm just trying to go through life without looking stupid.

It's not working out too well...
I remember a couple video creators who said that their videos (ones that are 2+ hours and longer) are produced/edited with the intent that you have it up on a second monitor to just listen to or glance over at whenever necessary.

Hell, before YouTube was a thing, I'd have the TV on in the background while working on something on the computer, and I'm sure other people did that as well.

I don't know if it was mentioned (I skipped through the video to see if I could find, and had no luck), but Gon's inclusion is why Tekken 3 never got a proper digital re-release on PSN. I guess it's a licensing issue. The only time I think it did get a re-release was with the Playstation Classic.

that's not a surprise but it helps as a creative person to have something on because silence makes me think too much and get into spirals

currently my long term sleep deprivation is not because of sound but because the cat keeps coming in and out of the room all night, either to yell in my face that she wants to cuddle at my side (cute) or wants me to throw a toy mouse for her to chase (not as cute and i have to get up)

Ok, but Northernlion is also good and people use him as a sleep aid. It's just a thing some people do.

I think if someone's listening to actual white noise, or calm instrumentals or ambient dronescape or something I could see that being helpful (I have a fan perpetually going in my bedroom both for temperature regulation and because the white noise helps drown out any ambient distractions when I try to sleep), but I can't fathom how listening to conversations would be helpful. Drawfee in particular sounds like a terrible idea for something to fall asleep to as they can get pretty rowdy on there...
