Insomnia, short nights, nightmares, daytime sleepiness... Millions of people worldwide suffer from sleep disorders. While there are various treatments to remedy the situation, some people try listening to podcasts to help them fall asleep more quickly. And according to an Acast survey, this technique is gaining in popularity.

The Swedish platform conducted a survey* among several hundred regular podcast listeners to find out about their habits. Some 48% of those surveyed had already listened to one of these audio programs at bedtime, in the hopes of getting to sleep more easily. Over three quarters of them have done so to relax, which could indirectly help them fall asleep as well.
