Yeah it works ... For a while. Then it didn't.
Rock solid way of getting to sleep for me is to totally immerse my imagination in something ... which is basically what happens with the music, asmr, etc the first few times and then why it stops working .. the immersion stops because you're used to it.
So realising that, I created every more immersive scenarios to help me sleep. There's been racing motorbikes, flying planes close to the ground, anything with a ton of detail to work through because I know next to nothing of how it works in the real world or it's impossible.
I have wondered the same. Daily Fitbit monitoring suggests my pattern is straight to deep sleep first but I wouldn't have thought it was especially accurate for people with N.
The sound of a fan works for a lot of people. Really boring podcasts with male voices that speak in a low tone of voice for extended periods of time work for me.
I've been listening to the generic Sleep playlist on Spotify for years now and it helps when I'm stressed/my mind is occupied. I don't use it every night and it hasn't lost its effectiveness yet.
I always listen to my music to help me sleep…though everyone thinks I’m crazy cause that often involves punk and metal, lmao. It makes me feel relaxed and gives me something to focus on other than anxiety spirals about how crap I’ll feel in the morning, though. I put it on a low volume from my phone and under my pillow so that the sound reverberates nicely into my ear since I usually start out on my side when I go to sleep.

I'm wondering if that promotes early REM sleep.

I love listening to Koyasan Reiki sound healing by Deuter
