I put my podcast sleep timer on 15 mins and I'm usually knocked right out. If I wake at 3am with racing thoughts I just pop it back on for another 15 mins etc....If you prefer a female voice there is a sister podcast called "Dreamy" - same format.
I've had trouble sleeping since AH left us, too. I tried white noise which just made me feel anxious. I have found brown noise is helpful for me - some of the time. I might have to try these podcasts!
