Sometimes I have trouble sleeping through the night. Often, the only thing that helps me lull back to sleep is to listen to an audiobook. There are nights I have to start my audiobook several times.

Wouldn’t it be interesting, I thought, to track how often this happens per night and when? Unfortunately, Audible doesn’t let me export any data. However, there is a way to visually display your listening history of any audiobook in the app.

ChatGPT can recognise text in images. So what I did is I took a screenshot of my listening history and asked it to extract the data from the image and put it in a csv file for me, which it did. I then could have analysed the data thoroughly and gained insights into my sleeping and non-sleeping patterns, which, of course, I haven’t done.
