I like to listen to podcasts/youtube videos about religion. The two I use the most are Religion for Breakfast and Let's Talk Religion. I also sometimes listen to "Fall of Civilizations Podcast". I always get bored if I do nothing but listen to podcast, which helps me sleep.
I do wish I could listen to that last one though, since I like history and the production quality is good. A video can hold my attention for longer than a podcast for some reason.
Woodworking or restoring old appliances and tools.
Law & Order, Forensic Files, Inside the Actor's Studio, OSW Review, but to be honest, I don't really need any of it because I tend to pass out entirely within about 30 seconds of my head hitting the pillow anyways.
Pink Floyd: Dark side of the moon
Usually nothing but silence, but if I can not sleep or am thinking to loud I try to distract myself with some glitch in the matrix or anything by as the Raven dreams.
The non musical family guy episodes.
It's the only comedy show where there's no laugh track, loud noises, and they explain every scene as it's happening.

This guy's videos. He has the perfect cadence and voice for it, and the right video length too. To be perfectly honest I have no idea if the content of the videos is good, but they're very useful.
This... JMG is the best. Him and Isaac Arthur...
The crickets and frogs outside through an open window.
Zelda OOT or Majora's Mask speed runs.
Usually a science video on yt
I go to sleep listening to music. Some of my favorite sleep time artist:
Carbon based lifeform, Solar fields, Aes Dana, Emancipator, Album leaf, Random Rab, Sync 24, Ulrich Schnauss
Dreamscape ASMR (YouTube channel)
Every vid is a thoroughly thought out and immersive artistic experience, unlike many ASMR channels with regular soft talking in the room.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia or Seinfeld. I know they are always yelling but it soothes me. I think me visualizing the scenes as I listen helps.
Occasionally I fall asleep reading but I'm usually too interested in what I'm reading to sleep. Same with music it's either too interesting or too boring.
Adventure time
"Content"
Silence. It's not uncommon for me to fall asleep watching a Jaws or Alien movie, either.
Dr Roy Casagranda lectures on YouTube lately.
Austin school channel: https://youtube.com/@theaustinschool?si=5_mJ-mcugKPS1GST
Spraycan artists videos on mute will put me to sleep. Could be someone on the street or at home.
Machining or lathe work videos. For some reason, it's very satisfying for some reason.
Any sitcom made by Greg Daniels or Michael Schur.
Any video on WWII
