Are audiobooks good for falling asleep?

Many people use audiobooks as sleep aids. Most apps including Audible and Libby have a sleep timer that pauses playback after a set interval. Fiction — particularly slow-paced literary fiction or familiar re-reads — works better for sleep listening than dense nonfiction. The downside is you may miss content and need to rewind the next morning.
