Radio on all night

Do you sleep as radio plays all night?

Reads like a weird spoken interlude lyric from an obscure mid-70s Meat Loaf B-side.

On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?


Yes, I listen to the radio (or to podcasts, audiobooks, white noise, etc) when I sleep. I bought a set of Bluetooth sleep headphones recently. Very comfortable, strongly recommend.

I wear ear plugs. Don't want to hear even a fly breathing while I sleep:)

Often fall asleep to the radio, leads to weird dream at times

Peregrine

I fall asleep listening to podcasts. Usually news or current affairs. They put me to sleep within minutes.

ricky, steve, and karl every night.

Not at night, but after dinner I like to vape a little herb and fall asleep for an hour listening to the BBC world news. Nothing puts me to sleep like the BBC.

Tried a few of those, but the battery was always poor..

Or I kept forgetting to charge them..one of the two.

Can you give me model number?

Yep.

I've always fallen asleep to the radio, with the sleep button turning it off after a bit.

But the remote is banjaxed now so I can't switch it on in the morning without getting out of the bed which is FAR too much hassle, so the radio stays on all night instead.

Do you listen to the radio on a radio or online?

A bed side table might sort that?

It's a compact stereo, bit bulky for a bedside locker!

Yes every night. It turns itself off after an hour.

I listen to a radio app usually, but meaning to buy an FM radio for power cuts and the like, one I can lash a set of batteries into.

The app I use for nighttime has a sleep timer. Sometimes in my sleepiness I bypass the sleep timer, and end up with a night of random dreams where I'm not sure what's a dream and what's a radio show

Look whatever you get up to is your business but its hardly relevant to the OP's question.

I used to love Val Joyce's late night radio show.

fryup

usually fall asleep to radio 4 shipping forecast

Hyperbollix

Usually a podcast. The new app I'm using has a sleep timer which is handy because I used to find that the podcast would sometimes wake me up with a loud ad or change of volume half way in.

Very little live late night radio now compared to back in the day, I can remember staying awake until 2am on school nights listening to Uneen Fitzsimmons on 2fm. There's something comforting about listening to a live broadcast when your alone in the dark.

sullivlo

I used to have the radio on as I drifted off, with the sleep mode kicking in so it turned off.

Now Alexa plays Lyric FM all night to keep the puppy company. Combination of a blanket over her crate and the radio keeps her quiet. We tried a few different stations but she seems to settle best with Lyric fm.

I use white noise plane sounds nowadays

The sound of an airplane is very relaxing when it’s not filled with babies crying

Yeah I can't sleep anymore unless I have podcasts plugged into my ears, literally, I am unable to sleep. My inner life is diminished as a result I feel, and you wonder do these influencers and retired sports people realise that their words are interspersed with people's vague sexual dreams and wants as they fall asleep every night. Very common and only getting more so. Sometimes I notice a turn of phrase I've used in my waking life that smacks of something Alan Quinlan might say or BitBoy Cryto from Youtube.

I've fallen asleep a few times on purpose listening to deezer, just as a distraction from anxiety and thoughts running around my head.

:eek:


That would send me over the edge very, very quickly!

ShatterAlan

Yeah,

But is there radio that I can listen to all the time from around the world?

When you put on your radio (a real radio) you have a real show, live. Online is it the same? I go on RadioTower and try to see if I can hear live radio that people in Trinidad or Sri Lanka might be listening to live in their houses but it all seems just recorded.

Maybe I haven't a clue. Any help appreciated.

I'm a big fan of aviation videos, maybe not just the cabin noise ones, but there are flights where all you hear is the ATC and pilot comms, and the cockpit noises, something about the standardised way they communicate flight level directions, callsigns, all the boring stuff, I find really relaxing.
