[@stephenyoung8429]

It shows we all good people ❤

[@Penn_chill]

Thank you, Thomas for acknowledging that some of us DO take a while to get settled and put our bodies and minds into a ‘ready to sleep’ mode. When a story is relatively short, say , less than 30 minutes, I often stop and start it over again because of what you mentioned. It takes time. Thanks again to you and all the wonderful people who make Get Sleepy such a beloved resource for so many. Now, off I go to hear about Mehmet!

[@natewelch4304]

I love this because I have a Persian cat, laleh (pronounced lollie, which means black flower) That came from a flea market in Istanbul. She's black and orange/yellow. She's a diva. And thank you for the wonderful and relaxing story!😺😴

[@natewelch4304]

Goodnight everyone! 🥱😴

[@edagaml818]

No cat can travel this much in Istanbul as they would be petted everywhere they go😽

[@manaralihassan7135]

Correct 😊

[@SleepytimeChronicles68]

As the night descends upon us like a soft blanket, may you find solace in its embrace. May your worries fade away with the moonlight, and may your dreams be filled with gentle whispers of peace. And when the first light of dawn breaks through the darkness, may it bring with it a renewed sense of hope and energy to conquer the day ahead. Goodnight, dear friends, may you sleep deeply and awaken with a heart full of joy. 💫🌙🌟⭐✨

[@GGrotesque]

How can I like this video a hundred million times?

[@mairishkar]

I love a good cat story - thank you🐈❣️

[@janette2422]

So the reason the short stories seem between 3-4 hours is the ending music! Now I understand 😂 absolutely beautiful And for the people constantly asking for more rainy day bakery stories…please be respectful to the author. When they come, they come. You cannot force art

[@tierrarogers3949]

Thank you for saying this! I totally agree.💯✨🩵💜

[@michaelaprocter4720]

I'm that person ... I never thought of it like that before... Thank you. The bakery will come when the bakery is ready.... ❤ When things are rushed they are never as good. Thank you for helping me see a different side ❤😊 night !.

[@PHBRNTGGR2]

[@allson1000]

[@NannyOggins]

Another lovely animal story. These are among my favourites as I love hearing about other cultures and the creatures that live amongst them. Many thanks Thomas.

[@nm.editzz]

I listen my country story ❤ İstanbul 😍🫶🏻 this will be best sleep thank you!

[@awesomeness10853]

This is one of my favorites I keep coming back to. They will never make me hate you, Memet.

[@tierrarogers3949]

Oh this is gonna be gooood. But I'll probably only hear about 5-7 mins of the story before I'm out cold. ✨😌😴🌜🩷🩵

[@emmyem85]

Thank you Get Sleepy team!!! You all are amazing. I see and appreciate all of your hard work. Goodnight to everyone, and I wish you a great nights sleep. Sweet dreams 💚☮🌠

[@chandasparklesastrology]

I had to put my cat to sleep to go to the rainbow bridge yesterday morning. It’s just me and my cat because my husband died and this cat showed up shortly after. He was very special Deaf Kitty. So I had fallen asleep listening to near death experience video. this video was the one that was playing when I woke again as the gentleman was explaining the adventure of the cat. Thank you what a beautiful sign. 🐈

[@birbluv9595]

I am so sorry that your special Kitty passed away. This video is helping me deal with several recent animal deaths in my life too.

[@birbluv9595]

I was in Turkey in 2011 and loved to see the kitties everywhere. There’s a wonderful movie, “Kedi” (which means “cat” in Turkish) - it’s so heartwarming to see how much these folks love and care for their cats.

[@jensparx892]

What a beautiful title - I’m getting snuggled down for the night to listen. Thank you …

[@zeus_hero9023]

Just about to get sleepy 🖤🖤 Good night everyone

[@KathrynCrow-op3fy]

Thanks so much Thomas…

[@Bugsabo1983]

Perfect! Goodnight ❤

[@victoriagalceran4976]

A delightful story, i have listened even in the morning to hear how it ends. Colourful, sweet and very well told.

[@ColetteO_]

Would love to ask if you would be so kind to put all the cat and dog stories together in one long episode without any long musical portions at the end of each story. This would be wonderful to have. This way when one story ends another begins and it lasts all night long. Thank you🙂❤️

[@allydignan3576]

Thanks very much from Dundee Scotland ❤🐾

[@julijapesic3389]

Goodnight everyone, iyi geceler ❤️

[@kshandra5150]

Good night everyone! Sleep well. 🧸🌛

[@elizabethdevries8028]

Good night everyone. 😊

[@My60buz]

I love your stories, your voice and your content! I struggle every night trying to sleep. I dread going to bed. Some nights I don't fall asleep till 4am, but with your help I easily am able to drift off to sleep in 20 to 35 minutes!! This has never happened! I now look forward to going to bed because I know I will get a good and refreshing night's sleep PLEASE keep sharing and creating your wonderful tales especially the 3-to-6-hour stories I find that even If I wake up, I find another one of your stories and fall right back to sleep I am graciously thanking YOU!!! 🤟

[@Mondo_182]

Mehmet for the win!

[@CozyDreamTales-eo8sl]

Wishing you all a night of blissful sleep and dreams as soft as feathers. Good night, sleep well!

Simon is also one of my favorite narrators... Could we possibly get a dragon story of some kind???

[@dianalauraescaleraalonso7688]

I think it'd be lovely if the narrator of the story also welcomed us

[@katethegreat1]

He looks just like my cat Prince

[@susanwright9057]

And Link 😂

[@susanwright9057]

Or my Link😊

[@dameneko]

Very kitty! Love cat stories. Cats are excellent at sleeping!

[@corriealexander3017]

Our narrator is Simon Mattacks. I had to put a face to this man so I googled him. Some may not be as curious and just want to enjoy his voice ❤

[@Mondo_182]

Pray I get some rest this back is actin up

[@lottemoens9656]

Omggg I’ve been looking forward to this ❤️❤️ but I am wondering .. when will there be a follow up to the zodiac sign series?? ☺️

[@user-ch4mj5eo5z]

✨️

[@theworldaccordingtoheather7071]

Istanbul was Constantinople. Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople... now everyone is sleeping but the jerks. I mean, Turks... but not really, because that sounds mean... and I hate being mean without reason. I promise I have nothing against the Turks... I'm trying to be zen with regards to the jerks... and they are 💯 percent why I need this channel. Thank you.

[@Nimo300]

Goodnight

[@LauraLovesLounge]

Sweet dreams, everyone. 😴
