Joe Pera Talks you to sleep

Falling asleep isn’t easy. Sometimes it’s hard to quiet your racing thoughts and let your worries rest.  My thoughts are most active at night. For the longest time I tried to find a way to dissolve, replace or eliminate them and every time I came back with nothing. It was an exhausting and tedious. 

That was until I found a solution to my problem…It’s a tv show called “Joe Pera Talks you to sleep.” 

Now, the title is exactly what the show consists of. It’s just a man (Joe Pera) Sitting in his bed with pajamas on talking to you until you fall asleep. That’s all. In this show joe uses a list of topics to replace our anxious thoughts with his calming ones. These thoughts are told through his monotone voice and lazy demeanor. As a whole, it has gotten me through many sleepless nights, and I’d like to share this stress reliever with you. 

In this blog I’ll be discussing some of the interesting topics and quotes Joe Pera brings up in his Tv show. Hopefully they sound interesting enough for you to also use it as a stress reliever from time to time.

1. “Are you nervous about starting something new? A new job, a new baby, a new pair of dress shoes your stressed about breaking in?” 

In this show he uses plenty of opportunities to add irrelevant information. It’s quite humorous and relaxing. It makes you stop thinking about the weird crossing guard or rude customer. They catch your attention and get you thinking. Like maybe in this great big world there’s someone out there who’s worried about breaking in a new pair of dress shoes.

It’s comforting to know that the world is big, and your problems are small. All it takes is a change of perspective and looking at it from a less serious standpoint. Joe does a great job at evoking that perspective.

2. “Rain pouring must be #4 most soothing sounds, a close #5 would be pouring milk. It is especially soothing if it is whole milk.”- 

   Joe is specific about his ramblings. He speaks his mind and refuses to lie even if you’re listening to it on the verge of sleep. This quote is a piece of joe’s dialogue. It doesn’t dive into his likes and dislikes much, but he is very informative when it comes to a topic he is interested in. They are all specific and interesting, it makes you think about starting your own podcast or book because he doesn’t have a lot to say. But still, he finds a way to make it impactful and meaningful to viewers. And personally, it’s nice to be immersed in someone else’s world for a moment.

3. “It’s okay. I’m not too worried about my photographic legacy, in fact, I hope I’m not remembered at all and that one day I can just disappear.”

  For context: Joe can’t keep his eyes open during pictures and must take them multiple times because the flash is too bright.

  Joe’s thoughts and perceptions of the world can be vastly different from the average person’s. We can take lighthearted and humorous turns, or we can venture into the darker aspects of things. He expresses different viewpoints that reach many types of viewers. It’s refreshing and heartwarming to know he that he isn’t just rambling but also taking into consideration the different audiences reacting. Also, joe is a bit of a homebody, and he doesn’t like the fast life. In this show we rarely take a dive for deeper, sensitive topics but they do add a soothing touch.
