New Here?
Audiobooks
I listen to audiobooks at night to help me fall asleep. Not because they are boring or uninteresting but because I have tried a number of things to try and stop my anxious, racing thoughts at night (including various medications herbal and otherwise). Nothing helped except concentrating on a good story with a good narrator. React posts highlight the things that stayed with me or really stood out about the book over a course of nights.
