As a child, my parents never read a single bedtime story for me or any of my siblings. Aesop’s fables were always my favorite since I learned reading. Late in my twenties, my then fiance used to tell me stories about Greek mythology and that was so soothing I would easily fall asleep. We parted ways and I missed those days until I found your channel. Thank you, Thomas. This story about appreciation aligns with my current quest about learning to be happy 😊

Happiness is a state of mind. It's a choice regardless of the circumstances . Ox

[@dawniemludwig]

That sounded cold and short. Not meant to be. My grandma always told me about 5 stories at bed time. I loved hearing the same stories over and over again. I never even thought of someone reading to me. I was so lucky to have my grandma till I was 12. Ox

Me reading all the comments about not even making it 10mins- I’m not even tired but I’ll try it out. I get to all the cute compliments that make me smile like a little kid and I’m only 2mins in and then bam I wake up hours later and didn’t even hear a word of what happened in the story so here I am for round two to see if I make it a little longer. I love sleep videos so much. Thank you for providing them for us in bedtime story form🥺🖤

[@johnjulianford]

Listened to this every night this week. Noooo idea how it finishes!!!!! Thanks .

Give it one more week 😄 At least it's sure that you'll have good nights of sleep!

[@timetofly291]

Real Men really do enjoy a good story. I only get about 6 1/2 hours of sleep, but these stories don't "Steal Time". Instead, I wake up refreshed every morning.

[@gic8849]

I’m so excited to go to sleep tonight lol Edit: it’s now 6:30am and as usual, I went fast to sleep while listening to your voice & story, so I don’t know what happened lol. Listening to the rest now as I make coffee. Thank you for providing a comfortable , cozy place to go on the internet.

[@kathyfrancis9229]

I have suffered insomnia for four years. I have seen three Drs tried prescription medications herbal supplements relaxation techniques nothing has helped. Listening to this worked first time. I now listen to this every night. Unless you are getting three hours a night you will never know how wonderful this sleep story is. I strongly recommend this to anyone struggling with insomnia. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thomas, your voice is the best story telling voice ever. You always send me off to sleep in a matter of minutes, so it takes ages for me to actually hear the entire story 😂

[@getsleepypod]

So glad it works for you Joanna!

[@petreeceful]

I couldnt sleep one night, found this app in a simple search, put in my earbuds, and listened to a smooth soothing narrator's distinct voice, basically reading a bedtime story to me as I fell into my dreams.. I recommend this app for people who wanna chill out at the end of the day- its magnificent!

[@lynnkay417]

I've just discovered this channel. Was just given a poor health diagnosis - this helps me calm my mind and ailing body. Thank you, Thomas, for sharing your soothing voice and peacefully helping others reclaim their rest. God Bless. 💙🩵

[@AlishaRoseWilson]

This is the *best* sleepy-time narration I've experienced on KZbin. Like many others here, I struggle with insomnia, but I hardly make it 10 mins before consciousness fades while listening to this. It must be my 6th time listening. Literally nothing has worked so consistently for my insomnia. Thank you for this.

[@sarahhassard4932]

I have insomnia and I'm usually awake most of the night. I listen to this story for the 1st time and was asleep within the 1st 10 minutes. Haven't a clue what the story was about but I've had my 1st good night sleep in which seems ages. I'll be listening to this again tonight. Thank you so much. ❤

[@orion9k]

I also have insomnia, if i could just focus on his story telling, i would probably also fall to sleep 😴

[@getsleepypod]

So glad this story helped you fall asleep 💙

[@Leeohlin89]

This Astronomer has a lot of similarities with me. I dig this channel very much for its stories. Very calming soothing voice as well. Thank you for creating this channel. 🙏🏼🌙🩵
