  • UPDATED WEEKLY

Sleep shuffling is a research-based protocol for neutralizing the racing thoughts and intrusive mental loops that lead to sleep onset insomnia. Deeply Unimportant facilitates this through the technical recitation of unchallenging, administrative data. Unlike traditional bedtime stories with engaging narratives, each episode provides a clinical ASMR experience designed to soothe adult ADHD, break OCD rumination, and disrupt the patterns of executive dysfunction. By utilizing the principles of cognitive shuffling, we replace plot-driven engagement with structured, rhythmic boredom. These are sleep stories engineered as a pure mental white noise—a necessary "cognitive shunt" for the overactive mind. Designed as a non-pharmacological tool for insomnia relief, Deeply Unimportant delivers the focus of a sleep meditation podcast without the demand for emotional engagement or narrative investment. Experience the clinical calm of structured data and transition into deep, restorative sleep with the comforting cadence of the Deeply Unimportant.

    Bed Time Story: The Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals (Boring Voice)

    Neutralize racing thoughts at bedtime with a research-based protocol for deep, non-pharmaceutical sleep. Welcome to Deeply Unimportant, where a real life former newscaster reads technical data in a lulling, detached voice for adult ADHD, OCD and insomnia relief. Utilizing principles of cognitive shuffling and serial diverse imagining (SDI), we replace engaging sleep story narratives with structured, administrative boredom to break intrusive mental loops and facilitate rapid sleep onset. Tonight, submit to the universal geometry of the traveled way. We review the standards set forth in Annex 2 of the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, the treaty governing the majority of the world's road infrastructure. We examine the longitudinal and transverse markings that define the modern carriageway, the precise stroke-to-gap ratios of broken lines, and the standardized symbols that facilitate movement across continents. There is no destination; there is only the consistent, rhythmic application of the white and yellow line. This session provides a clinical ASMR experience—a "cognitive shunt" to disrupt the patterns of executive dysfunction and rumination. As an alternative to standard sleep meditation and sleep stories, these technical readings bypass the brain's alertness centers, allowing for a seamless transition into deep, restorative sleep.

Drawing from research on meditation, neuroscience, and psychedelic therapy, Michael explains how rigid thought patterns, rumination, and ego-driven narratives can keep us stuck.

In this invterview, you'll learn: How to Stop Living on Autopilot How to Train Your Attention in a Distracted World How to Use Curiosity Instead of Certainty How to Break Free from Mental Rumination How to Quiet the Ego Without Losing Yourself How to Interrupt Stuck Thought Patterns Awareness isn’t something you have to earn or master, it’s something you already possess.
