A woman has shared her unusual but effective method for falling asleep within minutes: listening to ASMR science podcasts. Nicola Roy, who previously struggled with sleepless nights, discovered the trick 18 months ago and now uses it every night.
Roy found that traditional white or brown noise did not work for her. Instead, she stumbled upon the 'ultimate sleep hack'—scientific podcasts delivered in a soft, ASMR style. She recommends the 'Let's Find Out' podcast on Spotify, where a man reads about scientific phenomena and historical figures in a barely audible voice, accompanied by page-turning sounds.
Listening at the lowest possible volume, Roy says she nods off immediately. 'I have never remembered a single fact he's read out,' she admits, but credits the combination of incomprehensible content, soft voice, and page-turning for her instant sleep.
Roy now wakes up feeling refreshed and revitalised each morning, and encourages others struggling with sleep to give ASMR science a try.
