Experts gave advice on choosing content before bedtime
American and British sleep specialists told CNN that before going to bed, it is undesirable for people to watch TV and use phones or computers, but listening to audio recordings on the contrary can help fall asleep.
A doctor from the University of Saint Luis Shalini Paroti believes that listening to audiobooks, podcasts, music or television programs before going to bed is guaranteed to help relax, and does not interfere with falling asleep.

“If listening to something actually makes a person more involved or awake and, therefore, replaces the time of sleep, it can be harmful to health,” Paroti notes. At the same time, predictable sounds can help the body understand that it is time to relax, the professor of neurology Rachel Salas from Jones Hopkins added. According to her, listening to audio recordings can become "part of the ritual of going to bed."
Lindsay Browning, a psychologist and an expert on sleep from Berkshir, advises choosing something not too exciting for listening so that the brain does not have a motivation to remain in a state of wakefulness and fight for a dream for the sake of content. As an example, she led the show that the person had already watched, and the audiobook.

Browning also added that it is important to install a timer so that the audio recording automatically stops after a person falls asleep, and does not reproduce all night. She noted that unexpected noises in podcast or music can provoke many small awakening, which a person may not notice. At the same time, constant noise, for example, white noise, can drown out external sounds and improve sleep quality.
Experts noted that listening to audio does not always help in the fight against insomnia. They recommended contacting a profile specialist if listening to something before going to bed does not help to cope with the problem within two to four weeks.
