I got report from and ED nurse who said that the patient can walk but uses a wheelchair. I asked the pt. If she can walk and she stated “no”. 😂

[@gypsysoultoo]

I love get sleepy ! Listen to a story every nite. But never get to hear the full story before falling asleep.

[@getsleepypod]

Glad it works for you! 😊

[@mek2023]

My new nightly routine is have a snack, wait a bit, drink water, brush teeth, text fiance good night, and put these videos on the background. Thank you for helping me. Life has been rough and I love that these exist.

[@out_grazing]

I love these sooo much. I was in my barn going through my daily feeding of the rabbits and horses and I could hear Thomas narrating my little story from the sound of their mouths chewing to the smell of hay and the breeze from the morning. This is supppsed to be my solace, my peace but have not enjoyed it for a long time until yesterday. 😢 I have needed to get out of my head for so long to enjoy my little farm and Thomas you are helping me get there! ❤ Thank you 😊

[@annelieseberndt7975]

THANKS FOR YOUR WONDERFUL VOICE

[@lauren25487]

I wish Thomas did all the stories. His voice is so soothing. I don’t know why I personally find listening to a man’s voice more relaxing when I’m trying to sleep than a woman’s. It must be the deep voice and bass.

[@Hai_Doan]

I am with you 👍

[@SB-548]

Cudos to the writer, I truly felt as if I had been transported there from Tennessee! I can't travel extensively as I used to, so this has meant the world to me. ❤

[@getsleepypod]

Thank you so much! We're glad to have you here 💙

[@christierichardson2841]

Same here. I have Retinitis Pigmentosa and can't drive so I imagine myself there to travel. There are so many wonderful stories here ❤.

[@leahbrening1101]

Same, I also love that this story was realistic too. Felt like I was listening to a story about my sister.

[@natalieflanagan4430]

I understand, I have chronic pain & find it hard to sit for longer than 20min. I also use these stories to imagine myself travelling to all these different places 😊

[@marianneh6247]

I am so thankful for discovering this channel. The last ten years have been such a struggle, with very little sleep. I sometimes cry during the beginning of these when Thomas helps us settle in. It's like I'm getting caring permission and support to rest. Thank you so much, Thomas and the Get Sleepy team! It's such a blessing to know I can settle down to these every night. I'm finally looking forward to bedtime again... 😊

[@triciaostrander916]

Im part Welch too through my Jones line🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Thank you for this peaceful story.

[@timenow5312]

Sorry, but Jones is not Welsh, there is no "J" in the Welsh alphabet, but out of interest, it is actually Viking, because Jones, Johns and Johnson are from the root branch Johanssen, ie, Viking, I found out because I share the same name.

[@kathrynlervick8307]

The kindness can be heard in your voice. It is healing and much appreciated. Plus the storylines are fascinating. Thank you.

[@SOLLYJOLLY]

Loved it

[@SOLLYJOLLY]

You're my favorite storyteller that puts me to sleep almost immediately. If and when i wake up in the middle of the night, not only do i walk around my home & say a prayer, but i find another story of yours to fall back to sleep too. I no longer buy pills to fall asleep to. My favorite way to go to sleep. Thanks

You are my favorite narrator. Whoever writes these also needs to know that further means an idea farther means a distance. Like i can throw the ball farther than my 2 year old but let's discuss this further later on.

[@debbielangton8371]

In and out❤

[@Athoseye]

You folks are wonderful. Could you please, in your meditations, say „It means the world for my team and ME“ and use „lying“ (and its various conjugational forms) instead of „laying“ in bed ? It’s silly, but it jolts me awake …

[@getsleepypod]

Thanks for the note. I do make sure to say "lying" since someone pointed it out a while back. So if you hear "laying," it's because the audio is from a while back - apologies! From my point of view, "the team and I" works best in this instance. It's not "my team," as I'm just one of numerous members contributing to the cause, and I have no ownership or management role over the rest of the staff. Hope that makes sense! - Tom 😊

[@Athoseye]

@@getsleepypod Indeed it was an earlier audio, where I was (unexpectedly) described as laying in bed, whoever that poor lady may have been. As for the second issue, I applaud your team spirit (sign of a good leader), but I meant that--after the preposition "for"--the pronoun "I" should be in the objective case : "me." You are in good company, though. Obama once said, at the state funeral of John McCain, "... to make George and I say nice things about him ..."

[@Athoseye]

​@@getsleepypod My apologies, I should have quoted your audio thusly : "It means the world to the team and I ..." (As with "for," the preposition "to" also requires "me," not "I.") Pedants are human beings, too !

[@dotthompson9146]

I just would just like to say that for those people that like the music plenty of music channels for you to listen to but for me when I tune in to a loverly story read by Thomas that as the most amazing calm voice then that’s what I expect to hear not half of the story voiced but the later part just music not good

[@dotthompson9146]

Ok

[@Ceridwyn82]

Are you the brother of the Welsh twins?

[@amandamatheny3675]

I have been falling asleep to a lot of the stories on this channel lately, but sorry to say this one is just so boring that I can't even fall asleep to it. There's no relaxing to it. It's just an incredibly boring story.
