    “My personal favorite short story to fall asleep to on .85 speed is Long Island by Nicole Krauss. I put this on whenever I can’t sleep and I neednt worry about missing a detail or the ending, because I practically know it by heart. Look through the archive and find a story that works for you. There’s also the New Yorker Fiction podcast that goes deep into the magazines archive with plenty of old, boring stories, sure to put you to sleep.”
