Movies
This is my favorite sleepytime movie. The color pallete is muted throughout so its ideal for nighttime viewing. Bright colors will not wake you up once you drift off. Additionally, there's a lot of soft spoken and still interior scenes that softly pu...
Lost in Translation
Another muted color pallete that snuggles you up visually. Its sort of a perfect gray autumnul tone throughout. The interiors are all cozy and warm. The narrative is threaded by phone calls between three sisters so you don't need to have your eyes op...
Hanging Up
I fall asleep to this movie all the time. It takes place over the course of a few rainy days in New York City. Soft spoken moments between friends and lovers in dark sultry interiors.
Last Night
So this has an overall Christmas theme so I could see some people only wanting to watch this around the holidays…BUT for me this is such a soothing movie. There's snowy walks, many oversized sweaters, and a perfect kiss - you'll fall asleep with a sm...
While You Were Sleeping
Ok don't let the title scare you away. YES the plot of this movie involves murder however, for the most part you are wrapped up in gorgeous interiors and perfect chocolate brown fur coats. There are some physical struggles in the movie that could potentially wake you up but overall the au...
A Perfect Murder
This is a classic sleepytime movie for me. I know it intimately since I've watched it about a thousand times. The color pallete is warm and inviting. I adore the seasonal changes throughout the film (especially the fall/winter scenes). There are pret...
You've Got Mail
Television
Ok so this is ideal during fall. HOWEVER, there is a slight creepy/eerie vibe which I personally find endearing and cozy but if that doesn't bode well for nighttime for you - use this one for an afternoon nap!
Over the Garden Wall
This is like the perfect combination of talking head and special effects. Warning: this may have the ability to make you spiral about how nothing matters in life and its truly such an accident that we're even alive but I find this notion quite comfor...
How the Universe Works
Similar design to the universe show, this one is simulteanously fascinating and profoundly boring. Pretty much the perfect combination for sleepy time.
