A Heartwarming Christmas Fairy Tale🎄🎅: Bedtime Stories for Grown Ups {Soft Spoken ASMR for Insomnia}

[@spookyoctober]

I’ve just discovered your channel while searching for holiday/Christmas-related stories. I have panic disorder and have attacks every night, so I look for videos to help calm me or put me to sleep. This video did the opposite - it kept me awake. I was so captivated by the storyline that I didn’t want to miss any details. When looking for content to simply fall asleep to, I was not anticipating finding something that would evoke so much emotion. I’m crying. Such a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing this. Believe it or not, becoming this emotional over the characters has indeed helped with my anxiety.

[@SnoozewithSam]

Well, I am thrilled to be able to provide such a thing for you. I'm so happy you found this, and hopefully the following year's story. These are an annual pouring-out of my heart, and I can only hope that they resonate with others as much as they do with me. Thank you. I already can't wait for to dive into this year's number. :) I'm not sure yet what it will be about! S x

[@BedtimeSleepStoriesPod]

This story feels like sitting by a crackling fireplace on a snowy Christmas Eve! The soft-spoken narration makes it even more magical. Who else feels the holiday spirit while listening? 🎄✨

[@SnoozewithSam]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you :D S x

[@SnoozewithSam]

3-weeks in the making, this! Getting ahead of the game!😅 This is for many people, but my wonderful Patrons get first honours. Love you all, and everyone listening has you to thank for these. Enjoy! But otherwise, this is for Christine (Mrs Claus). She will understand. ❤ Be sure to listen all the way through - you don't want to miss the ending! Perhaps a daytime listen is on the cards. ;) Merry November Christmas! S x

I have to comment again Sam!! I put it on for the last part of my sleep this morning. I got as far as the little girl going to bed with Morag, her ginger cat. And then I must have drifted off into a delightful (pain-free!) sleep. (This for me is great!) And I have to tell you that your gift to us is so sublime Sam! I was aware of readying myself for sleep with a big beautiful smile on my face as I heard Santa and Mrs Claus speak. Your story telling is exquisite, you truly whisked me away into a wonderful other land. Father Christmas' voice, the warmth and love in it, and the fading out laughter of him whirling Mrs Claus around, the sound of the wind, all of it. I could see every wonderful image in my mind's eye and I felt such wonderful emotions with it. I'm going to pick up where I left off for a brief morning siesta before I get up. I can't thank you enough! You are an exquisite artist. 🙏💙

[@SnoozewithSam]

You know much it means to me when listeners express their love for the details, and your words are a perfect example, Amalia. It lets me know I'm doing something right, I hope. Thank you and million thank yous. Thrilled to know you slept well and as pain-free as is possible :D

Thank you, Sam. Wonderful story. It's been a difficult week and your stories have been a godsend. When I wake in the night and hear your calm voice, the thoughts that would usually keep me awake and feeling like I crap stay silent. I so much appreciate this gift. Many blessings to you.

Happy thanksgiving, Janine! Yes, that's a good plan! The only reason it's here this early is so that it's there for whenever the first person starts to feel a little festive! ;) You will ADORE this, as and when you do listen to it. Thank you, and many wishes to all your loved ones. S x

[@bernadettelanders7306]

An absolutely beautiful story. Than you. Even if it’s summer here in Australia now as I listened to it. I could imagine the snow and all rugged up to keep warm. It was also very special personally as my darling father who I adored passed a few years ago aged 89 in his sleep in his own bed and my beautiful mum passed a few years later aged 95, not sick either, just old. I miss them both so terribly much, I imagined the parents in the story were my darling parents and imagined we were all together once again at Christmas 💞

[@SnoozewithSam]

That is such a wonderful thing to hear, Bernadette. It feels as though your heart is as full as mine was when I wrote this. That is inspirational. I'm sorry that you've lost those who you love in recent years, but life is a sweet thing. :) they were lucky to have you, and vice versa. Lots of love to you, Sx
