This account should have millions of followers! The quality is unparalleled ❤❤

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Thank you! We are growing so here’s hoping we continue to reach more and more 😊🙏🏻

[@christierichardson2841]

Absolutely ❤

[@carolinebarrow5784]

Off to sleep shortly, thanks to you Stephen. I have CPTSD, I find it very hard to relax at anytime, let alone at night by myself, your meditations send me off in no time, please keep posting your wonderful work, I would like to hear something along the lines of Thumbelina, my Dad used to read that to me at bed time when I was little, or De Tar Baby, he used to do all the different voices, he took his own life when he was 44 and I was 11, so sad, such a waste of a kind and gentle man, I loved him very much, I’m 59, it was a long time ago now.

[@maryhart9950]

Sorry about your loss at such a young age. Hang in there you seem to be doing good on your own❤🎉

[@laraoreski3417]

Hi! I also have CPTSD. I'm so sorry to hear about it. Stephen helps so many of us in this situation. I'm curious if you've tried EMDR treatment? It has helped me immensely with my issues. No need to respond if you don't want to, of course. I wish you the best of the best!❤❤

[@user-kn2kg7xl3f]

What is CPTSD? I was in the army. I have the regular PTSD

[@chronicallyfit]

I absolutely love your videos. I have PTSD and insomnia so sleep is very difficult for me. Your videos are the only ones these days that seem to have an effect. Could you please make some videos where the screen doesn't turn black though? The darkness gives me anxiety so having a calm scene on the screen throughout some videos would be so helpful. A story with elephants would also be fun :)

[@catherinehealy348]

Hello there from Dublin my fellow countryman! My Mam passed away and I was having trouble sleeping in May but since discovering your stories I drift off within minutes every night. I have yet to hear the end of any story. Continued success to you Stephen.

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Hello my fellow Dubliner. Thanks for listening and I’m sorry for your mums passing. I wish you peace 🙏🏻

[@annaistgradunkreativ]

Your voice sounds so kind and you seem like such a beautiful human being

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Thank you Anna that means a lot 🙏🏻

[@misstocino3684]

Everytime I meditate, I always imagine myself flying, feeling the wind against me and landing from place to place. My favorites are landing on top of waterfalls and rice fields when the moon is full and quiet with only my thoughts and appreciation of nature. I find it very relaxing. 💕 Thank you po, Stephen for helping me get through my anxious nights. ❤ Bless you more and more!

[@classicclassycluedup8505]

Good evening Stephan thanks again for your new story and all you put into this work. I wanted to share with others and some my recognise these behaviours themselves. I am a constant over thinker and I obsess over small details this all makes it hard to clear your mind for sleep and often if you awake your brain goes straight into gear. These stories have helped me ease my racing thoughts and slow the process of turning a problem over and over in my mind. .bottom line is I fall asleep quicker and stay asleep and if I do stir I can ease myself back to sleep. Although I do wish there were longer videos where you may have the same length of content but with an added 4-6 hours of music. This would help if people are like me and wake again through the night. Thanks for considering

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Hey! As always thanks for your comment. There is a members area being launched soon and on that we are putting lots of very long stories. I hope it helps you 🙏🏻

[@wolveshowling26]

Can't wait to submerge in this new story- good night world ❤

[@claudiashj]

Thank you for doing this 😭 it’s amazing. I can’t wait for christmas stories already

[@Dana-jj4wf]

I absolutely love this podcast . I am a fellow yoga participant. You really know how to draw a picture of Mexico with that waves lapping in and out, drawing a very concise sharp image of all of the finer qualities that yoga gives to my interests deeper understanding of my spirit!

[@traumalama8663]

Always helps me go back to sleep, great word choice,cadence and tone.

[@BigHudd1]

I know you hear it all the time, but thank you so much for what you do! You've helped change my life. Being able to sleep on a consistent basis is amazing

[@mgiovinetti]

Stephen, you are an amazing story teller and your voice quality is fantastic. I listen to you every night before I go to sleep. Honestly, you could probably read the phonebook and I fall asleep. Thank you so much for all your work. I am telling everyone about your channel.

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Wow, thank you!

[@Tasshalovee]

You've changed everything for me thank you

[@Emily-ty9rz]

Had an awful headache so logged off work and came to this video. Dozed off and woke up feeling so much better.

[@michaelperez7259]

Thank you so much, Stephen! Your sleep hypnotist video is absolutely incredible. Your soothing voice, combined with the rhythmic cadence and the serene ocean sounds, have transformed my sleep experience. It's like magic - I fall asleep faster than ever before. This video has become my favorite relaxation tool, and it's a bonus that it reminds me of the beauty of Mexico, one of my most cherished places. Your work is truly amazing, and I'm grateful for the peaceful nights your video brings me. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@ThatDemon1]

Stephen, you are the best when I hear ur voice I close my eyes and relax and it’s so peaceful at first it too me like 30-40mins to sleep now it takes me 10-20 mins u really keep changing my life ur the best man I really appreciate it

[@lindamartin4208]

Your voice is so soothing ! I listen to you every night and even during the day!

[@ednaguyette8601]

These help me start to relax enough to calm myself to sleep all night

[@CosmicTruthTeller]

Another three ideas: An enchanted✨amusement park story / An enchanted✨pumpkin patch with hayride / “Walking In The Air 🎶” theme of flying over a Christmas 🎄 town with an enchanted✨snowman ☃️

[@marymagerr6488]

I am back to listen to the rest of the story this morning as of course I fell asleep last night 💤 thank you so much

[@HappyCat3096]

[@GABYYYGIRON]

I’m just addicted to you videos! Absolutely amazing ♥️

[@alanwake9201]

Thank you so much, Stephen! One more pleasant story of traveling! I have a hard insomnia now, the story comes right in time

[@EllasENGLISH]

You are awesome! Thank you🙏 And may God bless you🎉

[@emilysmith5654]

I used to live in the Yucatan, so I loved this...even though I fell asleep. But I guess that's the point!❤

[@CosmicTruthTeller]

Another idea: Candlelight 🕯️ Walking Tour through New Orleans

[@juttaagpawa8148]

First I would like to thank you for helping me sleep. Every night. My husband of 60 years passed away 2 years ago and sleep went right out the door. Your story’s and voice are wonderful and calming. They have helped me so much. And now a special favor. A story,preferably on the beach,where I can meet a loved one that I have lost. Just to feel this loved, special person for a brief time,would be wonderful. Please,Steven,I think there are so many people that have lost a loved one. Thank you so much. And let me tell you, this 82 year old women loves every story you tell. ❤️

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Thanks so much for the suggestion. I will bear this in mind. 🙏🏻

[@chedee-chedirichardson9019]

Today was a hectic day for me and my anxiety was high. 🥴 I am so drained and emotionally empty or numb. 😮‍💨 I'm happy I found this gem while scrolling through your playlist. 🙂 It caught my eye through all others, so I take this a sign from above. 😊 The background music is so mesmerizing, I love it and am happy to hear it everytime. 😀 Always enhances this cocoon like feeling where I relax, re-energize and fall asleep...😴 Thank you for sharing this wonderful personal adventurous journey. Very healing ❤️‍🩹 and benevolent. 🧘🏽‍♀️

[@ARDG89]

i literally dozed off just now for a moment before you even finished talking about like and sharing. lol your voice is just that good.

[@jenniferdunlay8413]

Hi Stephen, I have been using your channel every night to fall asleep, so thank you for that. I also often take a nap during the day, so I was wondering if you could make some of the intros geared towards naps, not evening and letting go of the day. Sometimes I just need to sleep and don't have a full day behind me. The nighttime references throw me off a little, though your videos are still effective. Thank you so much for all you do. I will be listening tonight, as always.

[@Bootsz2010]

Omg I just saw the graphic when I glanced up at minute 2:10. I usually don't watch. That's the the Queen's view of the coast at Tulum! I've actually sat inside that chamber and looked out upon the coast. I know you can't go in there anymore, so I was very lucky to have sat where she sat!

[@RDoesDev]

Why just why do you not have more subscribers. People should pay for this stuff it’s that premium

[@classactlady]

Thank you so much! ❤ just a suggestion a ride from Seattle Washington (Pikes Market) to Vancouver in the rain 😉

[@Sunny-ei6rr]

I like your voice, so calm.

[@dorisenderle5857]

[@cassielloyd5395]

Hello Stephen! I am a story writer. I love your amazing stories and just wanted to say I love that you go 'round gorgeous places then tells us all about your astonishing adventures. You're a wonderful man and I know you'll make it far❤ And that's why I'm here to ask for your permission to write a book a bit about one of yours! If that's-ok? If you agree, I will promise to make it amazing and publish it with YOUR name on it! Plus you will be the main character in the story! Thanks very much for your stories btw. Credits, hope and love to you always😊(I've got my hopes up😅)

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Hi Cassie thanks for your lovely comment. You are welcome to take inspiration from my work and I am happy if you use my first name but I might just make my own book one day so probably best to keep it to the first name and not to use my work verbatim of course. I trust that you will simply take inspiration. Thanks again and I wish you well 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😊

[@SerendipitousSleep]

Awesome sleep story.

[@saracharlton6224]

[@annettemaher5135]

I love your stories. Curious to know what other things were on your vision board.

[@amberready4498]

Love the variety; first channel I've come across so far on sleep stories that I can find something new and even if I revisit one I've heard, it doesn't sound like a repeat.

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Glad you like them!
