I canβt sleep to boring things, they have the opposite effect on me. I think itβs a combination of the fact itβs boring annoys me and kind of makes me angry and that prevents me from sleeping and that the boringness of it prevents me from dedicating any brain power to it and that leads to being able to think and that keeps me awake.
For me in need something moderately interesting to send me to sleep, something that can fully occupy my basic brain functions enough to stop me thinking, that then relaxes me and I can fall asleep.
The thing that is probably the most efficient at it is an F1 GP, I like the sport and an interested and the commentators capture enough of my mind to relax me. But nothing major usually happens and the drone of the cars and the melodic commentary just sends me to sleep.
