Insomnia downloads of the day

Does listening to audiobooks to fall asleep sometimes keep you awake at night?
Well, try listening to a book in another language, so that the English words don't distract you.

For example, Librivox has some classic Tagalog short works for your listening pleasure (and they are so boring they'll put you to sleep even if you DO understand Tagalog).

they also have Heidi (in French or German), Die Hoehlenkinder (in German), the famous Hungarian Novel Egri Csillagok, and parts of the Odessey in the original Greek, Latin and German

And if that doesn't work, listen to The Tolkien professor reads Sir Orfeo, a medieval story about Faerie... in the original Middle English.
