    I have audiobooks on a 30min sleep timer, shake to reset timer, and a 30 min rewind when my sleep timer expires.

    I either get sleep, or progress through the story. Win-win.

    I make some nods to sleep hygiene: my phone goes black and white before bed. Some problem apps are soft locked. But I’m not great at the practice. Regardless, my sleep problems are chronic pain related, so sometimes I just have to rest and wait/hope for exhaustion to take me.

      podcasts and audiobooks do it for me.

      Find the right voice and I’m out like a light.

      The guy that does “a short history of” from noiser is magic. I do find the content interesting but the voice is more important. Also turn the volume down so you have to concentrate to hear it - this staves off ruminations.
