I listen to audiobooks, usually of a book I’ve already read so that I’m not too interested in what happens next.
I have a timer set to turn off after an hour. But I often have to rewind about 55 minutes the next day to find what I can remember before I fell asleep.
Oh God, I can’t imagine needing to use a needle right where you were stung already. I’d blanche if I were told that too.
