Almost but not quite.

I listen to one of two audiobooks. They are books I've read half a dozen times, so it's more about comfort and consistency. There's the added bonus that I don't have any worry about missing anything if I forget to set a sleep timer. I prune my normal podcast feed regularly so the only podcasts I have are ones I don't want to miss any details

1. "Dune" and "Sandman" are the two I listen to the most, both are really well produced ensemble casts. For actual podcasts (not used for sleep), I enjoy The Intelligence from the Economist, Writing Excuses, Hardcore History, 20,000 Hz, 99% Invisible, and all the ubiquitous NPR Podcasts that focus on storytelling. I would say all but the first two podcasts mentioned might be good podcasts to relax to.

2. For normal podcasts I use PocketCasts, for audiobooks I just default to audible or Libby (Libby/Overdrive have increased my library usage 10-fold). If I have to worry about waking someone else up, I just use a single bluetooth earbud on the side I don't sleep on- otherwise my phone just plays from it's charging dock.
