I just want to add a plus one for audio dramas, if which the BBC has some great ones, especially some old horror series. Sure, it’s not exactly a replacement, but every little bit helps. I’ve been clean of anything not proscribed for about six months!

Yeah.

One of the huge advantages for me is that, unlike tv/movies/gaming, you're not exposing yourself to light from a screen.

That means you can distract yourself, but there's also a relatively high chance you actually fall asleep. Light from a screen really messes up your sleep schedule.

IME also better than trying to sleep, and negative thoughts keeping you awake in the dark.

That’s such a good point overall. Something to focus on without additional unnecessary distractions.
