I used to read if I was not sleepy, But in the last ten years that was never sheiyech. By the time I go to sleep I’m so tired that I fall asleep the minute I touch my pillow. When I was a kid I use to read for hours in bed.
sometimes we’re too tired to go to sleep. Reading doesn’t work for me, because of the light. I’d have to get up to shut it. Used to have great eyesight and ruined it tgrough reading in the dark, so I gotta keep away.
Tapes on the phone work for me. Kol Haloshon is free and has many many different types of shiurim and stories. I have TCN/Torah Phone, which has many different shiurim and stories, clearly archived.
