See, for the last decade or so, I've gotten into the habit of falling asleep watching Futurama. During an AMA with the show's creators, I learned that there is an entire subreddit of people dedicated to discussing this practice, aptly called r/futurama_sleepers. It seems there is an entire sect of people who do what I do: Open up their laptops, put on Netflix, and fall asleep shortly after the iconic opening credits roll (this practice is likely not actually bad for you).

We have, perhaps, just one more night of this bliss. Saturday, Netflix will be removing seasons 1-6 of Futurama from its catalog (There have been conflicting reports about this; some outlets have reported that only season 6 would be leaving the service. In an email to Motherboard, Netflix confirmed that each of the first six seasons would be leaving the service.)

"It seems like a while ago, but /u/whatsamatteryou and I agreed that we both love falling asleep to Futurama so we thought it was a neat idea to make a subreddit for that idea," they said. "I have seen Futurama many times over so I usually pick a disc from one of the first four seasons and play that through all the way."

"Whenever I start a new movie to wind down or go to bed with I just end up staying awake because I want to know the ending," they added. "With Futurama I've already seen the ending and can just doze off whenever sleep comes naturally."
