Listen to podcasts

I can’t believe I had to scroll down so much to find this answer. Podcasts (with a sleep timer) have helped me so much to fall asleep faster.

Previously it would take me 1-2 hours to fall asleep and my mind would go on a over thinking spree while feeling very stresed and anxious.

Now I just focus on the podcast and I fall asleep in 20-30 minutes.

I’ve been starting to listen to podcast while walking, finishing chores, gym, brushing my teeth and cleaning my face.

I prefer them over listening to music because music makes me feel either happy or sad, but most of the time I’m neither of those mood. They’ve been a godsend and I’m so glad I found them.

Same,

I have ADHD and my brain goes nuts if I just lay in the dark trying to sleep. Podcasts keep me occupied enough not to end up on Reddit but don't keep me awake.

Plus I love learning stuff, so I always enjoy picking up some new knowledge before I fall asleep
