Insomnia lecture of the week

I often post (boring) videos or audiobooks here under the title "insomnia video of the week" because I listen to audio lectures or books as background noise so that I can sleep.
.
What works best are talks without music or drama: interesting enough to make one listen but not so interesting that they keep you awake

these soothing lectures sometimes could be defined as AMSR:

AMSR is defined as:

What do the sounds of whispered affirmations, page-turning, and tapping fingernails have in common? What about the sight of slow hand movements, soap being gently cut to pieces, and hair being brushed? Well, if you are someone who experiences the autonomous sensory meridian response—ASMR, for short—you may recognize these seemingly ordinary sounds and sights as “triggers” for the ASMR experience.
Are you sitting there scratching your head going, “Huh? Autonomous sensory what?” Don’t worry, you’re actually in the majority. Most people aren’t affected by these triggers. But what does it mean for those who are?  What Is the ASMR Experience? It's described as a happily warm and tingling sensation that starts on the scalp and moves down the neck and spine.

but the rest of us just fall asleep.

Well, YOUTUBE has an entire channel of such videos: under the title pure unintentional AMSR I need to sleep.

and guess what: Mr Rogers is there:
