After 22:00 can be a bit hit and miss for me on R3. Any alternatives recommended?

Alternatively, the catch-up programmes on Radio 3, such as the previous night's Through The Night.
Me, I just read a book …It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

I used to read a lot in bed when I could lie on my front. Circumstances changing means I can't now. Not tried reading on my back in ages. Will give it a go this evening. Thanks for the thread, I had thought about looking there. Through the night is also a good suggestion but I wanted to avoid leaving the phone on. Thanks for the ideas.

Audio books? Took out an Amazon Audible subscription earlier this year. Not sure I would recommend AA in particular, but if the title is otherwise hard to find or expensive it can be worth it. I got Peter H Wilson’s ‘Heart of Europe’ (history of the Holy Roman Empire). Best cure for insomnia ever …
PHW interviewed by Rana Mitter on R3 Free Thinking, March 2016, btw. Recommended. It's an important work.
And the tune ends too soon for us all

Thanks for suggestion. I'd not thought about Audible specifically. If i want an audio book I have been to known to go to my library and ahem, (I think the term is archive) any discs I might want. I did this with Carol Drinkwater's the Olive Series (might seem strange but I love her voice!) But then I find I lose my place. AA my stop this...

I always listen to a CD of solo piano music in the evening, followed by an hour with a good book before bed. I think the solo piano repertoire is ideally suited to the solitary listener, as I discovered many years ago when my father handed me a copy of C 3101 : Chopin's first Ballade played by Benno Moiseiwitsch.
