Have you ever used a "pillow speaker?" It's a device that plugs into the earphone jack of any radio, slips under your pillow, and allows you to listen to anything you want without disturbing anyone else in your house - or your bed. 

I bought one years ago from RadioWorld and it still works great. It comes with a volume control and a small speaker that tucks under your pillow, which you can lie on and hear everything perfectly, but the other people in your house can't. And they're a lot more comfortable at night than earbuds. 

I've used mine for decades (although the price has predictably gone up over the years) and there are various makes and models to choose from, although I like the Sangean from RadioWorld.

I was surprised last night to realize how often I use it and it's become part of a daily  - or in this case nightly - ritual. I couldn't believe how few people I asked had ever heard of them.
