Your whole generation is fucked if there are enough people who require media to sleep to relate to a post like this. No wonder ya’lls mental health statistics are through the roof.

I just need media to play as I fall asleep to block out my tinnitus man, my mental health problems are irrelevant to that fact.

I’m sure they are, bud.

clinician here, there’s no link that I know of between hearing real voices and developing psychosis

But there is a huge correlation between Schizophrenia and Sleep Disorders.

For me it’s less a case of ‘I need this ambient music to fall asleep’, and more a case of ‘I enjoy listening to this ambient music and also I can fall asleep to it’.
It’s changed a bit for me now, but when I was a teen I used to just whack on whatever I was listening to/enjoying at the time to fall asleep to, be it ambient, death metal, jazz, classical etc.
And as far as listening to people talking goes, that’s nowhere near a ‘this generation’ thing. The sound of quiet voices murmuring on is just a naturally relaxing thing, think of a parent talking to their baby to get them to go to sleep.

I do agree, can’t argue there. I don’t actually fall asleep to media, but I know people that do.
What we need is some outdoor activity, like hiking, cycling, whatever. I don’t think the gym is the right place, it’s still indoors.

Your generation had to be told not to eat paint chips.
Toes@ani.social 11 months ago
It’s their fault for making the paint actually taste like candy.

Lead tastes sweet. Romans added it to wine.
doctorcrimson@lemmy.world 11 months ago
To be fair the generations before us made paint out of lead, so there is that.

I don’t think babies have gotten any smarter over the years. They still eat whatever they get their hands on.
