Bedtime Shows
James HaleyJul 4, 2026



I like to fall asleep to either a podcast or tv show. Complete silence doesn’t work for me. My favorite shows for sleep usually have one or more of the following criteria:
- Simple: not overly complex. I can’t worry about missing something if I fall asleep.
- Lots of episodes: I don’t want to run out of episodes before I fall asleep and I don’t want to hear the same thing every night.
- Not too dark: I don’t want nightmares. I also don’t want something that makes me depressed.
Here are a few of my favorites. I’d love to hear yours so I can update my rotation!
- Law and Order
- Mama’s Family
- Big Bang Theory
- Welcome Back Kotter
- Sanford and Son
