New content keeps me awake.
...but it also cannot be the same content every night, so I have a few hundred hours of several old shows hosted on my Plex server that I play each night.
It's novel enough that it keeps my brain occupied, but not so new that I care about missing anything.
It's a nice sweet spot.
My next step is selecting very specific episodes that I think have good stories that I actually want to reinforce. I find I really internalize certain scenes if I happen to be in the correct part of my sleep cycle while it's playing.
