I have read while trying to go to sleep for years and years. I read until the words get blurry, and then shut my kindle and go to sleep.

For a brief period in my 20s, I went to sleep to the TV. I played the same movie every night, and feel asleep to it.

Now that I am getting older (the big 6-0 is creeping up), I have pretty bad insomnia. So I thought maybe listening to audiobooks would work like the TV did. I have been listening to twilight zone radio. But it doesn't seem to be working any better, although I have only tried it for a couple nights.

Anyone else fall asleep listening to audiobooks? Does one type do better than another?

Thanks,

Debra
