I love the longer stories so I don’t have to keep starting them over which wakes me up. 👍🏼

[@SnoozewithSam]

Wonderful to know this, thank you for saying so! If you find the pace a little slow btw, I can recommend setting the custom playback speed to 1.1 or 1.2 x speed. It can help a lot. :) S x

[@karenroby4401]

Same here! It takes me a long time to fall asleep

[@seasiren6457]

This is the best version of a combination of sleep stories/meditations I've ever heard. So often creators will just string together their videos, with the long endings of just music or sounds left intact, instead of creating a long form version like you've done here. I really have enjoyed listening to this. It makes the not successful, sleepless but relaxed, nights better for not being stuck in my own thoughts the whole time. Thank you.

[@SnoozewithSam]

What can I say? It means the world to hear when people pick up on the details. It makes it so worth it. Thank you so much! 💓 S x

This is AMAZING Sam. I laughed quite a few times which may seem counterproductive for a sleep story.... But I listen to your stories to help calm panic during the day so giggling actually helps. This is by far my favorite. I truly enjoyed the addition of your friends into the story (especially your descriptions of them at the start). You've really outdone yourself. Thank you for these.... They're such a help to me.

Sam, I have to say that listening to you describe your adventures with your friends is one of my favorite aspects of this entire series. It makes me drift off to sleep wishing I could see the candid snapshots of your 'lads trip' to see if the reality is near to the pictures you create in my imagination 😊

[@SnoozewithSam]

Haha that was the aim, and so I'm very happy it's the case! I am DETERMINED to create a sequel to this, though I do desire the brief participation of a... few others.. ;) S x

This is way too captivating for sleeping and I love it, even if I am still wide awake in the wee small hours 🤔😆 … Just finished listening at 5:30am 🤷🏽‍♀️ I relived the worst night of my life 55yrs ago in a storm in the North Sea, praying for death and vowing never again. I’ve kept my word, despite my Scottish roots, and stick to the calming Caribbean Sea, welcoming the other side of my heritage. Thanks for the outstandingly descriptive narrative.

[@SnoozewithSam]

Thank you Jenny - it was definitely written as more of a developing story, rather than purely sleep-inducing. Tried it for fun! But heavens, I won't dig deeper but that doesn't sound nice at all. I'm sorry. I just hope it doesn't haunt you. S x

[@dontttalktostrangers]

“Life is short.” I randomly listen, lately. I randomly “fast forwarded” to: “Life is short.” And, the long pause…mine has been so long (even, just 4.5 decades) that I’ve become exhausted. I should’ve died countless times. And, yet, here I lie…not knowing how to live once and for all. I want to live, but I’ve no idea how to do so. Providence might show me. But what if not? My heart is swollen to the brink of breaking my own chest; but, I lie here wondering how to live. I do not belong wherever I am. The “lone wolf” sigma INFJ has no home - or, rather, I cannot find it in this world. Pray for me, stranger. For I live lost.

[@penelopelambson6794]

The long pauses between sentences is odd and makes me tense. Love the voice but can’t endure the slow pace.

[@introvertedfox6826]

That's a shame you don't care for them. They're meant to allow you to drift to sleep. I Personally love them but, like you, many people seem to be annoyed/bothered by them, I listen to another sleep story channel and he's drastically reduced his pauses because of complaints he got. I think people are so used to traditional story telling that is more continuous and steady that it can be weird or jarring to hear the pauses. You may try giving it a bit more of a try as I know people have gotten used to and even grown to like the pauses

[@SnoozewithSam]

Sorry to hear that Penelope. As Fox says, they're there to allow opportunities to drift off. I appreciate it's not to everyone's taste but I hope you'll grow to appreciate it. S x
