[@torikelly1172]

Team Thomas! I enjoy all the readers, but Thomas the Sleepy King.

[@user-vg9xt6xu2v]

Sometimes I play Thomas's Get Sleepy stories at reduced speed, his voice still sounds great and I get an even longer video!

[@triciaostrander916]

Really? I didn't know that 🤔

[@averyhighcat]

[@DSTHOPEISALIVE]

More stories with Lions, please. I love lions! If I had one of those Make -a-Wish, wishes, it would be to hug a lion. You could even make it one of your history/science stories. It could be about one group of lions roaring and huffing as they are communicating with another group or groups of lions. ❤ 🎉

[@OldieHouse]

This has been so helpful. Very powerful in its ability to calm all of my nerves ☺☺☺

[@Pawknee123]

This gave me the most beautiful sleep I have ever had. My husband died of a tragic accident, then our parrot 10 days afterwards, then our beloved dog the day of my hubbys funeral. Then I lost our home…. Just a horrible time in life. Then I found your channel. Thank you for helping to keep me alive. 💜❤️💜❤️

Thank you for helping me sleep. May you all have a great 2024 and have better sleep throughout this year.

[@CaleeM68]

I cannot wait to listen tonight! Thank you Thomas ❤

[@deniseleplatt1616]

I loved this story. Thank you Thomas

[@michaelsurrarrer7885]

I notice that the statements and words are very intelligent and perfect for current issues and dilemmas. The wholeness of the story and deeper meanings now evident as an adult are amazing and I am very happy that I came across this reading by you. Your voice has a soothing tone, I imagine some comfort is achieved especially by lonely women, good job on being comfort for people.

[@user-nw4oq7bs4u]

Hi, Thomas. Hope you will read my comment. I'm really impressed by all your stories. I love your voice. It's so soft and gentle. I feel very to fall into sleep every night, but when I know your channel, I listen your stories every night and I fall sleep quickly. I want to say thanks to you.

[@FrankDBoyce]

More Greek mythology pls Thomas, also didn’t Hercules beat the nemean lion?

[@SleepScribe]

i listen your stories every night and i fall sleep quickly. Thank you

[@War624]

Always found it interesting that most Greek/Roman gods tend to be referred to by their Greek names, but Heracles is always referred to by his Roman name, Hercules.

[@CozyDreamTales-eo8sl]

It's such a relaxing way to end the day face-red-heart-shape

[@sharonpalmer9249]

I’ve tried listening this story all week. Don’t think I have managed more than the 1st 10 / 20 minutes…. So it’s working lol. 💤💤💤😴

[@evelynjohnson3171]

the oracle had some Watermelon Runtz burning "under her chair" lol

[@jamielake-boyd3600]

When my son was about 6 he grabbed a water Moccasin Water moccasin out of a net with his bare hands and through it. Lol my dad about lost his mind because he is the one who got a net to get rid of so the kids wouldn't get bit and my son just reached in and grabbed it. My son was never afraid as a kid. And about 4 or 5 jumped straight into the lake and sister was watching him and started freaking out because you can't see in a lake like you can a pool and all of a sudden he pooped up by the ladder and claimed out. Sorry I know this doesn't have anything to do with this story but the snake reminded me of my son.

[@yanalicious87]

This was so amazing. ❤Ty

[@debra91]

Sounds like Julian clary 😊

[@catherinehagner3702]

I love Get Sleepy! But I keep getting woken up with ads at 3 in the morning. Obviously not okay since I can’t go back to sleep after. Are there any other ways to listen to the show?

Delphi = delph- eye!

[@DarrenTAnims]

What I would find really useful would be shorter videos. With these long videos, I either fall asleep part way thriving and get woken up later on in the story or I find that I'm staying away to find out how the story ended. 30 minute stories would be awesome!

[@caroleminke6116]

There are many in the playlist

[@DarrenTAnims]

@@caroleminke6116 Looking through the last 6 months of videos, they're all over 3 hours each. There could be shorter ones on the channel, I've not looked through them all, but it's just a suggestion.

What a stupid story. He choked a passive lion? The cat just stood there. Lazy storytelling. Truly terrible. Now im annoyed and no longer sleepy. What a complete disappointment.
