The Best Shows
to Sleep To

Modern life has turned falling asleep into a whole production — warm milk, melatonin, a well-timed edible, whatever gets you there. Before any of that, it was just story time. TV is the modern version. You want something comforting enough to drift in and out of, with enough episodes to watch, rewatch, and somehow never get sick of. Nothing too twisty. Nothing with too many gunshots or jump scares. Nothing so engaging that you accidentally stay awake until 2 a.m. And perhaps most importantly, nothing that’ll start a fight with your bedmate. There’s no quicker way to spark some drama than accidentally getting three episodes ahead. These are the shows built for drifting off.
