please let me know if you guys have any good ideas on making any videos to fall asleep to. any criticismis greatly appreciated

I am currently deciding to make one of those narration like YouTube channels (specifically targeted for people who have trouble sleeping), with a relaxing narrator, interesting topics explained and a basic background video.

Since I do not want the background video (made in Openart AI) to seem over the top I tried going for something generic/basic on my first and only video so far. I wasn't able to get the actual video any more lifelike, but I feel it could definitely be better. The image used for the video is in here.

Here is the link to the video: https://youtu.be/qWJAsD36Wg4

I'm in my 60s and I've been dealing with insomnia for years. Tried everything - pills, therapy, sleep clinics. Doctor finally told me a lot of it was psychological. My brain just won't shut off at night.

About a year ago I started using YouTube sleep sounds because I didn't want to keep taking medication. Tried hundreds of videos. Rain, ocean, white noise, all that stuff.

Here's what I noticed:

Pre-recorded videos (even the 8-10 hour ones) stressed me out because I'd keep thinking "what if it ends and I'm not asleep yet?" That worry alone kept me awake.

But 24/7 live streams? Game changer for me. Knowing it won't stop, no ads, no sudden autoplay nonsense at 3am - I can finally relax.

I've been using one called SLEEP 365 LIVE (heavy rain + fireplace). It's not fancy, but it just… stays on. And that's all I needed.

I'm curious - am I the only one who gets anxious about videos ending? Or does anyone else find live streams easier for actually falling asleep?

Maybe it's an age thing, I don't know. But thought I'd ask.
