Sometimes, with everything from homework to college to friends running through my brain, I have trouble sleeping.  It’s hard to stop thinking and finally close your eyes for some much needed rest.
My solution: clear your brain, and listen to someone else’s troubles and stories! Escape in to another person’s life!  Try a podcast.
This American Life‘s Ira Glass has a calming voice, accompanied by a guest voice that narrates their story.  Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes and listen to the most recent, or search their archives for what you’re in the mood for!
