I get that you feel this way, very occasionally I still feel that with some narrators or authors.
I had to put in conscious effort with my first audiobooks too though. All that I need now is to clearly understand the narrator and have nothing I need to actively focus on. So it's so easy to do while cleaning, cooking, driving, working in the garden etc.
I can also just put them on when going to bed and set the timer to 15 minutes. I accept that I might have to rewind a couple of minutes. I heavily prefer it over holding a real book in my hands and ruining it in my bed.
The biggest downside for me is that I dislike some narrators, which is annoying when you know you like the author's work.
Hum... I get the idea, but if I did that, I would just sleep 15 minutes later than otherwise. The "sleep doing some activity" is also something I'm unable to relate :)
But then, a lot of people do it.
