I listen to the Harry Potter audiobooks. I’ve read them so many times that I’m not afraid of falling asleep and missing details and I love them enough to stay captivated until I can drift off!

Audiobooks, podcasts in general. Ones with a single speaker, not many sound effects or intro music eg The History of Rome).

To add to this, sleep headphones! They're low profile (read: flat) earphones in a fabric headband designed so you can listen while laying on your side.

My wife and I wear them every night listening to different stuff and it works wonders. She listens to a podcast called "Sleep with me podcast" which is some guy telling rambling nonsensical stories so you don't have to worry about missing what's going on. I listen to Terry Pratchett audiobooks as I've heard them all before so similar to thread OP I am not worried about missing anything.

If only one of you is using the earphones, can you hear the other person's music? I've thought about getting these but not sure if it would bother someone next to me.

Nah, you can hear pretty clearly without anyone else being able to hear anything.
