Lowest panel should be the wake up alarm. My mornings have been so much better since using a talk radio station as a morning alarm. This is so much gentler than waking up to a blaring alarm noise. It's quite pleasant having soft vocal sounds for waking up, and then lying in bed for 5 min listening to the radio rather than bashing snooze and sleeping again to wake up groggy to a blaring bell in 5min. Highly recommended.

Do not use a song as the morning alarm. You'll end up hating the song.

Honestly, I'd say this depends more on the narration than the content. A good narrator can make any topic interesting, a great narrator can do that and make it soothing enough to fall asleep to.

Scholar's Lore is crazy good for that. I don't listen to anything during a night's sleep, but I love settling in for a nap with his channel going. Listening to the horrors of an unforgiving universe is so calming... Then I wake up and listen for real.

Ladies and gentlemen, my wife, every night. She's onto some TV show that seems to be nothing but white trash committing white trash crimes. Half the show seems to be that same trash confessing to the cops. They just happily run their mouths for hours on end.

I can see how that would be oddly comforting. Shitty criminals failing spectacularly to get away with it.

People need noise to sleep? To me that seems counterproductive to sleep.

Gotta remember not everyone is wired the same way or responds to stimuli the same way.
Some sounds work great for sleeping, while others not so much. It might sound paradoxical, but silence also has a noise to it. For me, the noise of silence is hit or miss for sleeping, white noise is too sharp and annoying, and nature sounds are often a bit too distracting. What I've found works best for me is rounded brown noise.

In bed, I listen to podcasts of people talking about shitty movies. It drowns out the “party” in my head.

There will be noise anyways ( washing machine / highway / tinnitus ) might as well put on something else of my own choosing.
