ASMR Sleep Aid: UIC 860: The Chemical Composition of Steel Rails (Deep Voice)

from Deeply Unimportant: Sleep Stories for Racing Minds · host Dallas Kachan, former news anchor & sleep narrator

Sleep well to a deep, soothing voice — an alternative to sleep stories and white noise. This boring voice ASMR sleep aid is for relaxation, insomnia relief and racing minds that need to fall asleep. Tonight, we do not travel by train. We inspect the metallurgy of the rails. Fall asleep to UIC Code 860, the definitive European specification for the supply of rails, and review the required chemical composition of the steel, the Brinell hardness testing procedures, and the specific branding marks required on the web of the rail. Find comfort in the unyielding quality of the track. Deeply Unimportant is a sleep ASMR sleeping aid for minds that need structure to drift off. An alternative to CBT therapy, it employs a form of what sleep scientists call cognitive shuffling that can overcome mind racing thoughts at night. No whispers or fairy tales; just an ordered, structured, boring voice of a real life former newscaster reading material that doesn't matter. This version of the show is ad-supported: ads play at the beginning, but nowhere else as you drift off.
