Now the wife's gone but I can't go back to silence. Lately I've listened to podcasts at bedtime but I usually fall asleep so fast I never remember what was said the next morning.

MASH for me. For many years it was on at 10:30 every night around here. Although, when I was a kid it was Johnny Carson. Didn't have much supervision when I was growing up so pretty much every night since I was 5 or 6 I would stay up late and fall asleep watching the Tonight Show. I have a real hard time going to sleep without some background noise. Not just any noise, it has to be voices, not too loud , not too quite. Most TV shows will do but I think the familiarity of MASH is why it works best.
Oh yea, being left alone with nothing but my own thoughts makes it real hard to fall asleep. My mind just goes and goes and goes.
