Did you know that Audible has a Bedtime Series of stories? Yeah, who knew?! Right?!
According to Audible's site:
Bedtime stories are narrated by the world’s most celebrated voices and written with no beginning, middle, or end so you don’t stay up to hear what happens next. They're interesting enough to give your mind something to focus on but delivered in a way that encourages sleep.
I stumbled on this by following a link for a book title that may or may not be of interest to most folks: "Quilt Collecting" by Nicole Haritoutunian. If you know me, you can see why I might have followed this rabbit into the hole!
I won't be using my Audible credit to purchase this title. I can continue my habit of listening to a boring podcast, with my phone tucked under my pillow, when I have trouble falling asleep. I'd offer the titles of a few of those boring podcasts, but I'd rather not insult the hosts and producers who I know work hard to deliver their information. However, I do believe in the concept that if your mind can be focused on something other than whatever you are stewing about, sleep comes a lot faster!
So, if counting sheep doesn't work for you, or if trying to recall the names of towns, countries or landmarks that begin with a specific letter of the alphabet isn't productive(or maybe in this case, nonproductive), and you don't care for boring podcasts, maybe you can check out one of Audible's Bedtime Stories the next time you are wakeful.
Do you have a 'go to' when you are sleepless in wherever you live?
