Recommendations needed.

freezspirit

Recently I've had trouble sleeping, tried some relaxation music and special how to get a better sleep cds but to be honest none work infact they have kept me up or kept me running to the loo (water sounds).

So last night I put a couple of audio comedy sitcoms on my mp3 and I had a better sleep, when I woke up in the early hours I was back to sleep within 10 mins.

So what I want are some recommendations of audio comedies stories/sitcoms. Last night I listened to Clare in the community, Miranda Hart's Joke Shop and House on Fire. I hope they make another series of House on Fire cos I liked that but also I hope they remake it into a tv show.

Have you tried a warm bath and a hot milky drink?

freezspirit

lol yep tried soya hot chocolate and before anyone else asks yes I've even tried counting sheep.

But listening to comedies seems to be doing the trick.

Freezspirit, I find rock/gothic/pop/nu metal help me sleep, its rather strange as nothing else can send me to sleep, other then them types of music....

Dub Reggae and some very mellow blow should do it.

I have the same problem as you Freespirit. I'm a light sleeper. I listen to recordings of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, Milton Jones (very funny), or any of the comedies that are on BBC7. I have some podcasts too of Traces of Nuts. Sometimes rude, but funny. I never actually get the end of a program before I'm off.

I like Ed Reardon's Week......it's a Radio 4 comedy originally like some of the others you mention & the first couple of series are available on audiobook. He's a writer who sort of can't accept that he's rubbish. He's also very tight with his money which gets him into all sorts of problems. It's worth listening to Radio 7 as they play a lot of re-runs of old comedy shows orignally played on Radio 4, then you can try & get the audiobooks if you like them.
