Has anyone ever heard of a radio station that you listen to in your
sleep?

No but there is a late night talk show host named George Snoory.

For years I have left a radio on an unused frequency, just the ambient noise
and static crashes. I started doing this as a kid. I didn't know why it
helped me sleep so well but it did.

Then I walked into a Sharper Image one day and find they called them "white
noise sleep enhancers."

Why didn't I think of that?

I am a bad sleeper, and can't go to sleep unless I have an earpiece in
my ear, and I'm listening to the radio. I then 'go out like a light'.

The programme content is very important. For most of the time (at
least), it must be speech. It must not to too interesting (otherwise I
try to stay awake to listen to it), but neither must it be boring (as
this annoys me, and also keeps me awake). And no music - at least during
the falling-asleep phase. Also, the audio volume must be just right -
not too loud (which keeps me awake, or wakens me up), and not too quiet
(so I have to concentrate in order to hear what is being said).

I'm in the UK, and BBC Radio 4 is what I use. This is mainly a talk /
news / current events programme. At 1am, it closes and, as a fill-in,
the programme content changes to that of the BBC World Service. At
5.25am, it reverts to Radio 4. The only problem is that the World
Service gives time checks in GMT, and in the summer, we are 1 hour
ahead. So when I wake up to hear it's 4 o'clock, it's really 5.

[PS: No apologies for the spelling of 'programme'. For computery things,
I give in and use the American spelling. Otherwise, I spell it
correctly.

A quarter century ago our local PBS station
had a couple similar shows on in the evenings;
Space Bridge, and Hearts of Space.
New age or electronic classical is very rare these days,
doesn't segue with hip hop too well.

Seems as though I came across a station broadcasting Hearts of Space a few
months ago.

As I recall, it may have been WMUK out of Kalamazoo, MI on 102.1. And it may
have been on a Sunday evening.

Maybe you can Google it and see if they have podcasts, or streaming audio.

They have every show for the last 30 years on their servers. HOS.com

A diode switching on and off generates broadband white noise.

So does tuning an FM radio between stations.

The neurons misfiring between your ears generate white noise.

So you would buy or make an entire FM radio just to produce white noise
when a diode could do it. Very good David.

I have a diode right here; I can't hear anything.
