    AH answer: I listen to herself getting her breath back.

    Real answer: sometimes podcasts.

    I have a hypo-tropic cardio myopathy, so I listen to my heart every night to make sure it is still beating!! It's both soothing and soul-destroyingly stressful.

    Put some Debussy on. You need to avoid the soul-destroying stress!

    I'd rather hear my heart stop than "Claire de Lune". Christ, I can't stand Debussy.

    At least Motörhead songs are in a consistent key! To hell with Debussy and his Jazz!

    When I was a teenager I used to always listen to music going to sleep, I'd find it hard to sleep otherwise. It'd have to be an album I knew very well though. Nowadays I usually either watch something I've seen a load of times, or more often read. I'm a really deep sleeper too, so I'd often wake up in the middle of the night still with the book propped in front of my face

    Usually goes more like, pick the book back up the next evening read two pages and then go "I'm 90% sure I've fcuking read this already, bollocks how far did I get at all"

    Put a little dab of mascara on the tip of your nose. When you fall asleep, book drops and marks itself!

    For a while I couldn't sleep without listening to the Ricky Gervais show on xfm a few times a night. Just listening to Karl say the most insane things and Ricky nearly die laughing really put me at ease when I was going through a really tough time. I could forget about real world shyte and eventually fall asleep which I don't think I could've done with those shows..

    Oul lad near me lived right on a cliff edge beside the sea. When he first went to England the landlady of the digs he was staying in used to have to throw buckets of water up against his bedroom window so he could go to sleep at night

    If you live on a cliff you never forget to close the window before going to bed.

    Ticking clocks. I have two and the ticks are set so that between the two it's non-stop. No silence at all. Lulls me off to slep in no time.

    Any old WWE Smackdown or Raw Is War from the Atitude Era or PPV depending on my preference. While I,shut my eyes I,just imagine I'm a kid again sitting in front of the TV watching all the entertainment unfold.

    I get about five minutes in and then I'm out for the count.

    Mostly listen to bbc radio 5 live (even though the reception is terrible) or else have the tv on some news channel or some random sport from the U.S. which is on live.

    Find it much harder to sleep without something to listen to.
