Every sleep guru says dark room, no screens, zero stimulation. So why did I fall asleep to the same TV show through some difficult years of my life, and why does the science back up what I'm saying?
The truth: they're not wrong, but they're missing the nuance. And many give you biased science.
It depends on what you watch, why you watch it, and what state your nervous system is already in. I get into the science of comfort, why much of what we watch is dread that hooks you instead of healing you, how darkness draws darkness, and why the right show can actually be medicine in some circumstances.
What's the show YOU fall asleep to? Send it to me.
