#Whattowatch Sometimes you just need a little bit of downtime and relaxing time in your life after a hard day at work or maybe a stressful week. You can do anything you want and not give a care about what's going on in the outside world. This is the mindset of millions of people throughout the whole world and what better choice is there than to sit down and watch a show that will help you calm down and sometimes even make you fall asleep. These shows may be rare nowadays and not a lot of viewers care for them, but that doesn't mean that they don't serve their purpose in making the viewer comfortable and relaxed. Let's take a look at 5 shows that will definitely help you relax and even fall asleep after a hard day at work or a stressful event.

Unsolved Mysteries is one of those shows that helps the viewer relax and not use their brain too much. The show has been airing for roughly 34 years and for good reason too as the main plot of the show is solving different mysteries, but not as you would expect. Each episode has a different mystery but by the end, everything will have been solved and the viewer doesn't have to think too much about it. This factor alongside the narration from Robert Stack will leave you feeling relaxed and wanting to fall asleep. Consider this one of the best shows to watch and fall asleep to as you will need some form of rest from a tiring day and I highly recommend watching this show after feeling frustrated or tired.

Documentaries are some of the best tools to relax while also educating yourself about different subjects. Our Planet serves as the linking bridge between these two ideas. In Our Planet, you learn about the different animals and species our world has to offer while also narration helps you understand what's going on on-screen. The show premiered in 2019 and has been highly praised and has had a lot of positive reinforcement from different mediums considering it one of the best animal documentaries in the world. The show focuses on natural habitats and how climate change affects our world and the animals that live in it with Sir David Attenborough narrating everything. He is one of the top narrators in the world with many years on the BBC and you can expect to find yourself fast asleep by watching this show. If you ever feel tired, consider watching this show to help you calm down.

Ever thought about taking up cooking as a hobby, but find yourself feeling frustrated with how every cooking show depicts cooking as a competition rather than art? Well, this show might just be the perfect one for you. In Chef's Table, we are introduced to different chefs' every "volume"(season) and we get to learn their cooking philosophies and techniques without finding ourselves in a competition. This in combination with the beautiful cinematography elevates the watching experience and you can be sure that you will find yourself relaxed and feeling more interested than ever in cooking and becoming a better chef.

Explained is one of those shows that started out as a YouTube channel in hopes of informing people on different subjects with entertaining visuals. The show has kept this original mainframe in mind and has expanded its subjects and the quality of its visuals. "Explained" deals with many different subjects ranging from political correctness to music, where every fanbase and viewer can find an episode they enjoy. These types of shows help the viewers relax and also inform and educate them regarding many subjects and make it easier for major audiences to be more in touch with the modern world. The show does this so well that it has been airing for 3 years now and there doesn't seem to be any signs to show that it's going to stop. When you feel tired or stressed out, give this show a try and you will find yourself relaxed in no time and fast asleep.
