Ah, insomnia. That is definitely one of those getting older things that we aren't warned about!!
Mine is getting worse every year. Audio books really help me. I have found that male voices work as opposed to female voices. And I have to listen to the same books over and over and over again. I have a dedicated mp3 player just for night time use. (indestructible in case I roll over on it) It is loaded with every Terry Pratchett audio book I have bought through the years. I love the books and know exactly how they will end, but still interesting enough to not let my mind start wandering and keep me awake. I've also done the first Harry Potter book.
My mom listens to talk radio. Something like Coast to Coast. She doesn't care much what they are saying as much as the voice. It lulls her to sleep again.
If I do music I find I'm staying awake waiting to see what the next song is. Three minutes isn't long enough for my mind to doze off again.
So all I can advise is find a voice you like and find all the books that person does. Don't get anything stimulating though, or it will keep you awake listening. I find narrators that sound like my math teachers in High School. I could always fall asleep in those classes!!
