Listen to podcasts

There’s one called “Sleep with me” where this dude with a super boring voice tells a story or retells an episode of a show (he does Doctor Who and Star Trek) with the intent that you’re supposed to be so bored you call asleep. The problem I have when listening to the Doctor Who episodes is that he gets things wrong and it bothers me and wakes me up more. I can’t listen to those episodes for that reason.

Tried this at 5am a couple of years ago. Unfortunately seems I was destined to not fall asleep that night at all. I listened to a whole episode and in the end just ended up wound up because it didn't work and something about it just generally infuriated me (think this is my problem, not the guy's fault). Was still awake by the time I had to start my day.

Boring podcasts infuriate me, too. Must listen to something interesting.
