    This is why i listen to audiobooks or radio plays to fall asleep to.

    They are engaging enough to stop the noise but i can still fall asleep listening.

    Works good for me, atleast most of the time*.

    *Damn you Will Patton for reading Stephen King novells in such a gripping way, you are banned from bedtime listening!

      +1 to this. I started out trying to visualize things and play music in my head, but actually listening to something as I go to sleep is so much better.

      It’s like it occupies my attention on something external, rather than letting my attention latch on to random internal things. Then I can fall asleep and not even notice. It also helps if it’s something familiar and not novel.
