Ask HN: Falling Asleep to Podcasts

I have developed an unusual habit: I like to listen to podcasts when I go to sleep. Initially, I listened to podcasts after waking up in the middle of the night to fall back asleep, but since then I began also listening when I initially lay down to go to sleep.

I am curious if this habit is not so unusual after all.

Do you fall to sleep to podcasts? And if so:

1. What podcasts?

2. What audio setup do you use?

For myself:

1. Entertainment/light-hearted podcasts work best for me such as Triviality, Flip the Table, Stuff You Should Know. I like Real Python, but it gets me thinking too much before sleep.

2. I use AntennaPod on an old Samsung Galaxy S5 phone with a bluetooth headband headphones. I tried corded headphones, but destroyed them when turning over at night.
