I am to. We definitely thought we were alone in this one and kept this one to ourselves haha. Means there are likely many others!

Didn’t take it that way at all! I appreciate you sharing it as I always enjoyed that subreddit. My first foray into the whole federated system of things, so it is a bit of a learning curve. Always happy for someone to share their experience to help develop my understanding and better utilize these platforms. I have used the browse feddit once before but agree it felt a bit finicky. Would be happy to try the other you’re talking of, so when you do find it please share!

I agree with the screen and sleep hygiene concerns. I do use it mostly on the nights the mind is racing with worries or stressors and I can’t fall asleep. When I do turn it on, I turn the screen over so I can’t see it and just hear the audio. Still may not be the best for sleep hygiene, but for me it is almost like a bedtime story for adults.

I tried searching for a community when I first joined lemmy, admittedly that was only a couple days ago. However, I couldn’t find one. I think I struggle the most with this part of lemmy. The finding of communities feels a bit cumbersome to me and could be an area to improve upon. Don’t get me wrong, never going back to the sinking ship of Reddit. Thank you for sharing the link!

Umm, I didn’t want to say anything about this part of my relationship to Futurama in my first post on Lemmy, but I will confess this is something we do as well. And we suffer the same conditioning haha!

Great list you have there for sleep shows. Another I enjoy is It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. May have to give some Star Trek a go, could see that being a good one.

I have watched this show so many times. I could just close my eyes with the audio in the background narrating the scenes as I replay them in my mind. It would put me right to sleep haha. Almost like someone reading me my favorite bedtime story as a kid. I think the subreddit had 20k+ members before Reddit died. So we are definitely not alone.

 

Any of y’all transfer on over to lemmy? I remember when I first found that subreddit, blew my mind that so many others used Futurama to fall asleep. I had found my people.
