More sleepy history stories please!!!! I love the idea of sort of learning something but on a topic that just puts you to sleep to the sound of your voice. History of lamps or pillows or even actual history stories. Love it all, need more. Sleepy history of beds is so awesome

[@getsleepypod]

More to come! Make sure to subscribe. 😊

[@lisabrown9532]

I agree....this was so interesting I did not want to fall asleep!! Thank you, really enjoyed it❤

[@djdb1214]

I absolutely agree!!

[@JacqueBowlingMedium]

I'm obsessed with the Oarcany islands.

[@SoothingSleepyStories-xg9mz]

Wish everyone sleep well and have beautiful dreams

[@akliluestif9631]

Well.. I never had good dreams😢

[@neumichel]

Best. Episode. Ever. Listened to it 8 nights in a row. I last 5 min max

[@getsleepypod]

Thank you!

[@catz.pajams]

Please, please, please more long ‘Sleepy History of…’ episodes. The longer the episodes the better. I love the Robert The Bruce, Caesar, Rosetta Stone, Beds, even the deck chair episode. I listen to my favorite sleepy history episodes repeatedly. I enjoy learning as I’m nodding off. My mind stays gently focused & interested, which allows my intrusive, busy thoughts to melt away. AND thank you sooooo much!!!!

[@sunnyadams5842]

I so agree with every word!!! I had to look twice to make sure I hadn't written this because it sounded so right on for my experience!! 😂

[@traciewalker8506]

I really appreciate the sensory awareness. It's very helpful in bringing me to the present, after the breathing and before the story starts. Thank you, Thomas ❤

[@paulinemckenny]

Thanks. Can't remember the last time I slept so well. I am a subscriber.

[@lynettesauer9890]

Absolutely love the history sleep story format!!!!!! It took four nights to get to the end of the story. Please do more ❤

[@nonbeewolfie]

This video is magic! So I seriously struggle getting to sleep, I'm always exhausted when I go to bed, but for some reason I just fight it, I don't know if it's anxiety or what but I have to say that this video is the only thing that's been helping me to get to sleep I've never been able to get to the actual history part, I've always conked out during the calming down section at the start 😅 I don't know what spells you cast, but it works! 😂

[@poetryjones7946]

LOVE this Bed History, how utterly perfect! How about another sleepy domestic history? Like the history of sofas and lounges, or bathtubs & bathing, or history of bedtime rituals, or the history of nightwear? 🙏🏼

[@getsleepypod]

You already guessed one of the future episodes!

[@poetryjones7946]

@@getsleepypod Teehee❣️How cool is that❣️?! Love you guys forever 🙏🏼🌙

[@sunnyadams5842]

Great ideas. I'm a big history story buff and have become a Get Sleepy addict! Cause it WORKS!! MORE MORE MORE, LONGER The BETTER!! Thanks so much

[@stacyturner8330]

I woke up this morning while this was playing and stayed in bed to hear it ❤

[@SherlockHomez74]

I especially love your history and science Episodes and the Meditation Part at the beginning. I really want to say thank you. I have insomnia and it´s really really hard to fall asleep for me. That´s a huge problem. Your podcast and another meditation yoga nidra sleep podcast from germany, are the first things that helps me. Now I mostly fall asleep before the story ends :D Now it´s easier to looking forward to bedtime again. It makes my life a bit easier. Thank you so much. All the best to you :)

[@rhiannonwhitaker-pearson7425]

Yes mote random history! Blanket, pillows, toilets, history of lights! Etc....!!!

[@LaurieLanni]

Oh this is going to be great, Thank you Thomas❤ i just found this one...Ni nite ✨🙌😴😌💤🙌✨ Brillient!

[@caroleminke6116]

The hypnic jerk is caused by waking as we start to fall asleep because everyone leaves the body at night as a soul & does amazing stuff as we slumber… my first time waking up after I left my body behind me is still fresh in my mind as I was floating near the ceiling & apparently headed out the south window when I looked back over my shoulder to see a sleeping form in bed. Then I realized it was me & felt panic so I dove for it, hitting it with a hard bounce, then sat up with some choice words 😂 it was transformative for sure. We are much more than a physical being!

[@superbizzy12345]

Seconding everyone here on the Sleepy History of series, these are brilliant, gently engaging enough to keep from ruminating before bed. I like to turn them to 0.75x speed too and just drift off while following along. Please continue this series!!

[@detangers]

Just love hearing Tom. Love these stories.

[@TheMewtata]

This one backfired on me 😂 The first time I listened, I ended up on a midnight research binge.

[@carys8582]

i love these history stories, we need more of them!! i love learning sleepy topics as i drift off

[@user-zq5qj9hc1r]

Do you think you can do a history of sleep Storie I think that would be really relaxing

[@susanwright9057]

We who believe in creation can’t believe the humans ever slept in trees, but great story I’m enjoying it anyway

[@sunnyadams5842]

Why is sleeping in trees as humans so hard to believe?? It was safer!! That didn't make us monkeys... Don't be daft!! Be an intelligent credit to the Lord!!!

[@caroleminke6116]

😂

Doesn't play beyond 46:00 your device hasn't stopped working. (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠✧⁠*⁠。

[@mamadoom9724]

In bed with my husband and cat is my favorite place to be, even though my husband snores and my cat hogs the bed so I don’t have any leg room 🥰

[@sunnyadams5842]

U ok?

[@Eleven1921]

We were not "pre-human hominids"- this is unproven theory. But still great voice and relaxing storytelling.

[@Royal2they]

Me when even they talk about South Africa: 🥳🥳🥳🤩🤩🤩 (also there was nice reading and storytelling and I agree with you)

[@shayna849]

i just learned that we were pre-human hominids in a college class, anthro 201. i’m really interested to see any sources that say otherwise if you have any!

[@caroleminke6116]

We’re souls in a human mammal

[@ckqueen]

Sounds like he's saying history of bats?! 😮

[@wherestheexit5046]

His voice gives me anxiety

[@evaem6006]

No-one cares

[@smorebooks6038]

Don't listen to him then 🤷

[@Chris-kz3jf]

Try a bunch of different creators, you will eventually find a voice that suits you. 👍🏻

[@nicolebrown1927]

It's really soothing to me🤗

[@Prophezora]

Where are you from? Perhaps his voice does sound different depending on where you are from. It's cool. I like his voice, but I can imagine it's not for all.

[@bushyjodes5121]

Many times I have fallen asleep before the story starts , but this one , no.. laying on a branch with predators under .. can u do more talk relaxation before the story plz

[@EnlightenedJourneys]
