One of the keys to falling asleep is to bore your brain, said Steven Holfinger, a sleep medicine specialist at Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center. “Your brain will learn to ignore the sound, or even better, to equate the sound with safety,” which may help enhance sleep, he said.

If sounds are familiar, there’s less of a chance they will disturb your sleep, said Pelayo, author of “ How to Sleep: The New Science-Based Solutions for Sleeping Through the Night.” And “ Get Sleepy,” which launched in November 2019, has since amassed more than 23 million downloads, creator Michael Brandon wrote in an email. Likewise, “ Nothing Much Happens,” another popular bedtime-story podcast for adults, had almost 19 million total downloads in the past year, marking a 52 percent increase in growth over the previous year, according to analytics data from the Curiouscast podcast network/Corus Entertainment, home of the show. Last year, Drew Ackerman’s popular narrative sleep podcast, “ Sleep With Me,” had more than 42 million downloads, Ackerman wrote in an email to The Washington Post. The podcast market has adapted to capitalize on this effect, and sleep- or relaxation-focused programs have steadily racked up millions of downloads.

Smith is one of many people who say listening to books or podcasts, rather than music, helps them fall asleep and get better rest. Now, “I am unable to lay down and go to bed without some noise.” “At first, I was like, ‘Oh, it’s just a way for me to have my alone time,’ but it just started to become a crutch,” Smith said.

But then, Smith said, she found a solution: listening to an audiobook on headphones. With the pandemic’s added stressors, her thoughts only became louder, and her go-to combination of a prescription medication to help her sleep and mindfulness practices wasn’t working anymore. “I just started to get major panic and anxiety over everything,” said Smith, 45, who has long blamed her “very loud mind” for disrupting her sleep. Her husband, an essential worker, was constantly being called away from the safety of their home in Fredericksburg, Va.
