A Cozy Bedtime Story: A Rainy Drive Through Ireland

[@florence1395]

Since the love of my life died I struggle to sleep. A while ago now I just put adult stories on & you came on, with the greatest of respect I struggled with the accent, now you have become my night time companion & my anxiety companion & just when I need to relax companion! So thank you & I subscribed & the stories are lovely. Thank you 🙏

[@michelewahl6862]

I'm so sorry for your loss

[@joannebavelas5654]

I want to go to Ireland now,This story put my mind at ease, 💕❤️🥰

[@laraoreski3417]

Thank you Stephen! Good night everybody! Also, I know you read the comments and have heard you asking if we wanted a part II on some of the stories, I honestly think you could easily do a part II on every single one and we would love them just as much! ❤ Greetings from Croatia!

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Haha thanks, well I’ll be doing this for a long time to come so maybe one day there will be a part 2 to all of them 😊

[@Studio-ch3qc]

I never can stay awake after the relaxation segment, I’ve been listening for almost a year. You have changed my life, I suffered from insomnia for a decade prior to finding your channel.

[@meganc5672]

I love the rainy stories. I usually don't make it to just the soundscapes, sometimes not to even the end of the stories but when I'm stressed and just want a nap I go to the end of these stories just for the ambient sounds

[@ashleypresley]

I love the sound of the rain and the wind wish after the story there was like 7 hours of it to sleep 🤍

[@jleighmeridyth844]

Im 100% Irish & dream of coming to my Mother land to visit. Thank you for this story. It's so beautiful & makes it so I'm yearning much more to visit. I've traced my family name back to 1126 Ireland (Forney). So want to learn more of my history.❤

[@indigojanis1123]

Ahhh, Love it .. Thanks! 💕

[@lauriejohnson7722]

I am so happy to meet Ireland. Thank you for your kindness.

[@daviddoyle8038]

Thank you Stephen for these stories from Ireland iam Irish and I love them a story with the wild adlantic way would be lovely iam sure people would love to here it ❤

[@Pgams910]

Ireland☘️, one of the places I dream about visiting! Thank you Stephen for another lovely story with beautiful music and rain in the background🎼

[@angieang26]

I dream about visiting Ireland too.

[@leslimiller4067]

Thanks Stephen as always, very lovely❤

[@jessikatkins1173]

A drive through Ireland and it's raining. So cosy!💚🍀I remember Ireland from a childhood holiday and I remember it being very beautiful. Thank you Stephen for the story. Goodnight.😴🙏🏼

[@lindataylor5383]

Just love your storys they are amazing they help me sleep a lot better every night thank u so much u are a great story teller keep up the good work

[@yvonneboyd2517]

I'm traveling to Ireland in April this year. I can't wait after listening to this story. 🇮🇪

[@bridget1721]

My #1 bucket list item is to visit Ireland at some point. I can already tell I’m going to love this.

[@katthompson3852]

This drive is now on my bucket list. I'll take a week to do it. I love this channe! ❤ from 🇳🇿 NZ

[@mandymorgan9052]

How lovely Stephen, sounds just perfect! Looking forward to this ☺️ Thank you as always 💞🙏🏼😘

[@karenlarsen8264]

This is so beautiful! I did a hiking tour in western Ireland many years ago, and it was amazing. I will listen to this one over and over. And the rain is perfect. I love rain!

[@LornaHiggs]

I really enjoyed this story of Ireland. I fell asleep before i could listen to all of it, so listened to the rest this morning. Your voice is very comforting, you are my favorite story teller. My grandmother was Irish and she would have loved your stories too. Thank you so much. ❤

[@marilynfoster1233]

Thanks again, getting ready to rest well thanks to your stories.

[@ginalisenby9668]

As usual I can't wait to hear this. I love rainy day car rides. And I loved the London elves. I can't listen as fast as u tell them. Lol. They are all great. And the shorter old time Irish stories. I gave up on the clock making and the candle maker. I go to sleep immediately. Thank you for all your wonderful worldly stories. And thanks to your wife for her elf suggestion..❤

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Hi Gina, I meant to write back to your last comment about the airport. I showed it to Rebeca and we really thought it was so lovely. Thanks as always for your support. Stephen 🙏🏻

[@MikiStewart]

🎉 My family emigrated from Ireland in the previous century. I've yet to visit, but this story made me feel as if I was home.

[@jameshunterford4099]

Do you know what’s insane?! My sleep has been so bad for so long … but I came across these sleep stories and now I’m lucky if I make it to number 1 on the relaxation countdown. Make that make sense!

[@joannemountney7173]

I know. The same happens for me, even if I'm just wanting to relax a little... before I know it I'm napping ❤

[@juliejanssen1792]

Love your sleep stories, love your voice, thank you so much!

[@leeobrien242]

I am enraptured by the beauty of this place of my ancestors. though I may never reach these shores I can dream I have with your stories. Please make more stories about Ireland ❤.

[@tia-neo-np]

This has quickly become our favorite story to fall asleep to. My wife and I honeymooned in southern Ireland. We rented a car, started in Dublin and drove all the way around to Galway. A good portion on the Wild Atlantic Way. We had the privilege of seeing many of these beautiful places. Her family immigrated from Clonakilty and we hope to someday be able to immigrate there. Thank you for this wonderful story that brings so much peace and hope for our future in times of stress and uncertainty for us here in the US. We are grateful ❤.

[@ItsJam3z]

Your stories always help me drift off to sleep, it’s such a pleasure. I know you ask for suggestions and I personally love space and I have listened to all of your space sleep stories, I would love if you did more soon 💛

[@gamingndrawing]

I’ve got a suggestion ! Could you make a story of a girl who goes exploring in the woods and finds lots of magical things ? Also great vid by the way!

[@linaycock5646]

Dear Stephen, I truly enjoy ALL of you sleep stories. I seldom hear the entire story because they do what they are designed to do very well. Plus your smoothing voice also lulls me into sleep as well. Thank you for each story and I love them all. Warm Regards, Linda Georgia, USA

[@stvslas]

I really enjoyed this! Had to listen twice as I passed out after 5mins the first time :) I've been to the West coast of Ireland. Wish you had been my tour guide! More car ride stories like this one would be wonderful!

[@luciemarinov129]

Thank u for this story, I love your introduction to this and soothing voice! The music is especially beautiful and the rain helps so much as well. I am writing this in the morning because I’m sleeping before your story ends. Your great love of Ireland is so evident. I can’t understand why you left this magical land! I appreciated the information about it as u presented it with such love, please give more stories about Ireland! I think it’s your best work! Thank you so much , brings me much needed tranquility . Love again from California ❤ to you, Rebecca and Timmy!

[@mariawilson9838]

Any wonder I love your stories, have always thought the Irish voice is the most wonderful sounding, it’s like music. It’s four in the morning, shall try and listen all the way through. Thank you beautiful one

[@spottyhag]

I spent a fortnight's holiday in Ireland 50 years ago. Saw the beehive huts on the Dingle Peninsula, had the 'best fish and chips in Dingle', stayed in a peat-fire warmed house in Maharabeg, and saw forty shades of green in the trees of Tralee. The taste of the food was wonderful - the tiny rubbery potatoes were impossible to peel, but when roasted in their skins had twice the flavour of their English counterparts. Roast chickens also small but marvellously flavoured, as also were the tiny chicken's eggs we boiled for breakfast.

[@uccellina4997]

This is my favourite. More trips to Ireland, please. I have never been despite having Irish forefathers on my mother's side. I want to travel there more than ever when I listen to this.

[@nicoledeveregreen4089]

Love your stories and your voice Stephen. Thank you so much

[@gamebald]

I'm Hawaiian and I'm very proud of my heritage and my home land. I know quiet a bit about the Troubles. I'm curious if now about are Troubles. Probably wouldn't make for the best sleep story but I think we are very similar and if you come to my Island's we treat are guests with Aloha. Big fan of your channel.

[@jakemcguigan4032]

Hi Stephen from Ireland great story my beloved Ireland ❤

[@beckypadgett9672]

Hi Stephen, I haven’t written in a while but wanted to say I continue to listen to you every night. I loved this one of Ireland so much. Your personal stories are so meaningful. So happy to be a Patreon supporter!

[@heikemarkmann5338]

My daughter is living voor almost 20 years in Tralee. I have been there plenty of times. The last time just 3 weeks ago. The wild atlantic way has gotten to one of my favorite destinations. What an incredible scenary! Thanks a million for bringing me the whole experience in a sleepstory to my home in the Netherlands. Dingle, Sleahead and the Blaskets felt so real 😂❤

[@thelostroad]

Somehow ended up with a bad cold 🤧and then I was so worried that reclining would make it worse…but I turn on one of these and somehow I’m not clogging up as much anymore 😌😁

[@katewiley734]

Thank you for all the peace you bring to so many. I love this story. I was under the weather the other night. And couldn’t sleep at all. So sitting cozy in my recliner you took me on such a beautiful journey. It’s like I was there. Thank you so much.

[@MichelleGeist]

I love your stories. Can you do a first person story of being in the woods in Ireland? A walk through mystical wood, with a creek and wild creatures, ending in a small cottage to sleep.

[@tracedarragh9404]

Loved, loved, LOVED this one ❤

[@TVStuff10]

My new favourite! Loving the imagery this story conjures up, the various scenes and situations..and so perfectly narrated💚

[@GSilver-u5p]

Wonderful new story. What a peaceful sleep! The rain and ending are great. This time fell asleep before right after relaxation. I'll have to give it a lsiten again. Thanks for these great stories paired with relaxation.

[@Actionmanattic]

Hi please do a camping story I love your story’s your voice is so soothing

[@douglove2412]

Our trip from our home in America to Kinsale to visit relatives, and our drive up the west coast to the lovely village of Doolin is a life highlight for me and my wife. Smiles, welcomes, and live music, everywhere we went in Ireland. The Cliffs of Moher!

[@appleoneill5135]

Love it! Thank you so much x

[@fetchingphotos]

Thats a bucket list trip for me!

[@gpahwa7513]

Thank you for this wonderful story which takes me back to a memorable birthday gift road trip to Ireland from my daughter and sister along the same route to Donegal. It was like coming home - my grandmother was born in County Cork. Love your sleep story and looking forward to returning soon.

[@MrHornet72]

Your voice is very soothing and peaceful. Makes me relax and sleep fast thank you.

[@victoriadownes7262]

I’d love to hear one about a Journey through the Chaukras or the zodiac signs such as a person guiding you through them and what they are or a beautiful movie theater specifically set up or made with jsut you in mind in a cozy fantasy or elusive town. Almost like an Alice in wonderland type setting.

[@michelarose9486]

Wow. I feel so lucky to get to take one of your guided tours. What an amazing way to transfer your expertise online in such a visceral and accessible way. You’re the best !!!

[@rowanstephenson3192]

Didn’t even get through the countdown again … what a wonderful soothing voice you have .. thank you 😊

[@luciemarinov129]

Am listening to this again a few months later! Kept falling asleep so I had to replay every time I woke up to try to hear it all. Love the rain and travel stories, Ireland sounds so very idyllic. I wonder why you left your beloved homeland. ❤❤from California

[@michellegloria906]

Thankyou X I live in lovely Leitrim x

[@ashleypresley]

This story was so beautiful, it made me emotional. I like this concept of incorporating the listener on the journey. I think it reminded me of the film about Ireland that I spoke of in one of my first comments. It’s amazing how a film can bring out such emotions in someone and make them think about people in their own lives.

[@wangxiao2019]

The person i love used to visit Ireland often. In my mind i associate that beautiful country with him ❤

[@ginalisenby9668]

Well , I have tried every night since u posted this one. I'm trying to hear it. Lol. Obviously, it's another great story. I had to give up on the candle maker, and the clock keeper. You're amazing. Thank you.

[@SharronAspelin]

I have so much Irish blood in me. I’ve gone as far back into my ancestry to Brian Boru. I long to visit Bunratty Castle and bathe in the history of my heritage. Thank you so much for your beautify stories.

[@sherriekeogh3342]

Bunratty castle is fantastic, also king johns castle in limerick is great too

[@nawalghabra851]

Thank you very much I see beautiful dreams because of your stories ❤

[@nycgrl9]

Stephen, I enjoyed this so much it made me remember my time in Ireland with a warm heart. Do you think you could write a magical story about Newgrange. What a mystical place it is. You can feel the ancient energies all around you. Thank you for all you do. ❤

[@JenEnnis]

I love you voice, your soft accent... I can't get through the stories as I'm already sound asleep ha... Thank you 😊

[@wendymedder6775]

Can’t wait to hear this story my favourite ones are the rainy road trip stories. ❤❤❤

[@ginalisenby9668]

I love the countdown. But may have to give it up.... I'm asleep before the story can start. It's so relaxing, though, especially the safety part

[@SleepyLongPier-jw7nq]

Wow Ireland sounds like a very beautiful place.. the way your telling this story about the sea & swimming 😊 Here in the Bahamas most of the people swims just about every day!! especially during the summer months because its very hot!!

[@Islam-176]

Love Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤

[@annemariemachla7382]

Was listening other night to one of your stories woke up in morning , this one was on don't know what happened..but I loved it my da was from Donegal , I've been twice when younger many moons ago...but the boat didn't agree with me lol...but this was lovely another one of my favourites. Thank you .

[@shannonshirreff5945]

Ireland has long been on my bucket list, and as my name might suggest, I do indeed have Irish heritage. Shannon

[@MelodieValentina]

My favorite 🤩 I love ❤️ the background it sounds like we’re really in a car 🚘 I wish I really could live there and feel safe and be comfortable and sleep well 😴 I used to take strong sleeping pills I got off them after years of being on them and other anxiety meds so now I have to sleep 💤 on my own so thank you 😊

[@michelewahl6862]

Me and my sister Inlaw listen to you for along time.❤❤❤

[@dodder17]

September we'll be in Ireland for the 3th time ... and I can't wait , it's like coming home altough I'm not Irish my heart is 🍀💚💚💚💚 kiss from Belgium Antwerp

[@marissaclaridge7627]

Thank you Stephen❤

[@LyricalStatus1]

I'm gonna hear this tonight. Oh and also I'm about to go travel all the west coast from LA to Seattle in a train 🚆. Then crossing to Vancouver. Do a train one ❤

[@bridget1721]

My sister, nephew and I went on a train from Boston, to Seattle, to LA. It was a LOT but an experience I will NEVER forget!! I hope you have a fantastic time. (P.S. FROM EXPERIENCE… if the stops are more than 5 minutes… get out and walk around for a couple minutes. It will help avoid any blood clots from just sitting for hours. 😊

[@LyricalStatus1]

@@bridget1721 That's awesome to hear. I will definitely take thee advice. Can hardly wait for late April

[@marymagerr6488]

Back to my fav story.

[@juliesmith7444]

I absolutely love this story. So fun learning about Ireland. A suggestion I have for other stories, I would like to learn more about the village with the Sleepy Bookstore. The Clockmaker was enjoyable ( though I don’t know how it ended, fell asleep to fast) and I’d like to meet more of the villagers.

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Great suggestion!

Hi Stephen, I love all the stories and I love your presentation of them. A suggestion....Mary Oliver poems and she has wtitten "Dog Songs"...short stories about dogs. All about loving nature...inspirational.

[@honeyebby]

Hello from Florida! 🌏🏖🏝

[@Merriwen]

Hello lovely! I am so glad I fould your wonderful channel. I used to struggle to sleep, but your stories have been a god send. I enjoyed a Oliver Wilde story the other day, and it made me think the his story The Happy Prince would perhaps be a nice bedtime story... would you please consider it? Thank you so very much for the much improved sleep, Katie x

[@cleolipton3220]

This is totally bizarre but I look forward to listening to the next story every night. Sometimes I even turn off my favorite TV show, knowing that I've got a better choice here! I have never heard the end of a story yet...zzzzzzz

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@catherine4092]

Hey Stephen, Rebecca and Timmy are well..again I'm going to another part of the world. I thank you super much! I to this day would, could, should reside in small village that everyone knows each other. How is your house renovations? It must be a great opportunity especially with home you have shown us.

[@karentemplesnow8960]

Hello Stephen. Although I have lined this video up for my sleep story tonight, and although I listen to your sleep stories most nights, I wanted to let you know that I am always awakend at the end of your videos by a very loud ad.. I know that you work very hard to give your listeners the very best experience, and, for me . certainly you absolutely do achieve your objective, as it's very rare that I actually hear the story, as I'm always in the Land of Nod halfway through the winding down phase. I just wanted to let you know what You Tube are doing, as probably this is unknown to you. Just a heads up. Thank you for helping me sleep lovely xxx

[@christierichardson2841]

Yes, KZbin has bypassed the Autoplay so that it still puts an add after the story. While the next video may not play, they've made sure to get their adds in 😢. That won't keep me from listening because usually I'm sleeping peacefully enough that I just click out and go on back to sleep. 😂

[@sineadcowley]

Thank you Stephen, hopefully you will do one along the East Coast.😊, I'm from a small town called Ardee, Co Louth

[@barbaralael5092]

I used to man a look out tower in Washington State. That was the 1970s before satellites and other forms of fire detection. What you said about monks I related to. I got a lot of nature. Columbia River to my West side. The town flats of Colville Valley to the East. Solitude. Harmony.
