​@Stephen_Dalton I have been to Ireland 🇮🇪 for 1 or 2 weeks. I loved it. I did not want to go. I did so much suff there like I went to bath the town not the bathtub 🛁 🛀 .

[@samareh121]

The best thing about your stories is that I fall asleep right after you start telling your stories, and the worst thing is that I can never finish your stories. :)

[@cm.6061]

I fell in love with your channel 9 months ago. I have struggled with alcoholism my whole life.. I finally gave up the fight 10/12/23😊 It is now 7/14/24🙏 Your voice and your kindness comes through as a very caring person. You helped me get through my first couple months of sobriety….😢😢still listening to this day thank you very very much Stephen D. I also turned you onto a lot of my recovery friends at Rehab❤

[@jillmcmullin8076]

I finally subscribed. I have played 4 or 5 of these stories in recent nights... but I'm always asleep before the story! 😄 That's a good thing. I have trouble sleeping. You are a blessing to me!

I think this is my favourite story, it calms my anxiety and helps me relax. I found out I have thyroid cancer a year ago and just recently found out it spread to my neck it has caused me sleepless nights and stress, these stories are such a saving grace from the world and help me to disappear and relax thank you so much ❤

Thanks! Theae are wonderful and soothing.

[@sharonmariec]

Love your stories😀

[@electroracc5225]

As a young child, I would fall asleep to bedtime stories about fantasy realms, like The Hobbit. Never did stop finding bedtime stories more soothing than any other sleep sounds. Now, I fall asleep to bedtime stories told by a lovely gentleman with a voice like a kindly elven druid gathered round a campfire. I listen to a few sleep story/meditation channels, but I've probably shared yours the most. Thank you for your wonderful stories and your beautiful voice ❤ If you're ever looking for requests, I would love if you could do a story about dragons flying through the night sky, or similar. Fantasy books brought me up believing I could raise a cool rock into a baby dragon, and that even if it was just in my imagination, that didn't make it any less real or healing to me.

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Thanks so much for your lovely comment and the suggestions. Noted 🙏🏻

[@toniruthrivers9234]

Book Store - Part 3 or 4? Suggestion- Hi Stephen, there’s a book store in Ashville, NC (been a few years, hope it’s still there) that would make a great addition to these stories. There is a cozy restaurant that serves snacks like smoked trout dip with cheese crackers, the best chocolate cake in the world, hot chocolate, ciders, coffee and wine. There are open rooms upon rooms upon rooms with huge bookcases that create cozy individual spaces within the huge space. One “room” has a unique antique bed that you can sit in AND it is actually suspended from the ceiling. There are big over stuffed couches that people read and recline on. There are spaces for two and spaces where people gather to talk and drink wine. The BEST part of this bookstore with thousands of books is that well behaved pets are allowed! I took my baby (dog), sat on a comfy couch and had a wonderful time. There is also the owner’s dog that welcomes people and makes the rounds. There’s a sweet cat that hangs out on one of the upstairs rooms that has an outdoor balcony with hammocks. I’ve seen lots of people napping here. Everyone wanders, finds a book or a story in the many paintings and artwork, and then people come back together like pirates to share their booty with each other. This sometimes results in taking someone off to show them something wonderful and unique and then coming back. My baby boy Cody is a sweet West Highland Terrier and poodle mix who loves to cuddle with me at night. He loves the sounds of rain, a crackling fireplace AND your stories! Me too! I think people sleep best with the exact right pillows- made especially for them- and their perfect sweet furry cuddle baby. I can imagine as the staff picks up the wine glasses or small plates, that they could “tuck in” their overnight guests with one of the many warm cozy throws that lay across the sofas, chairs, hammocks and beds. Sweet dreams.

[@Stephen_Dalton]

That sounds like an amazing bookshop. Thanks for describing it so vividly. 🙏🏻

[@kareym.3115]

Do you remember the name of this store? I'm not far away in upstate SC and would love to visit the store if it still exists!

Hello to everyone and to the narrator of this cozy Bookshop Story hope you all are doing well. I enjoyed the magical bookshop Story with the soothing rain sounds. Very cozy with earphones on. I myself is a bookworm. I would of love spending the night in the cozy Bookshop listening or reading stories. The old lady created a cozy place for the readers The Bookshop of sleep. Sleep tight everyone.

I have the hardest time sleeping at night especially since going back to work. My shift ends at 10:30 pm and I get home about 11:30 pm, I would notmally lay in bed all night,barely getting sleep. Now my Staffie and I curl up in bed and fall asleep, her normally before me but between her sweet pibble cuddles and your soothing voice narrating these stories I am able to actually sleep and more importantly, rest. Many times I do not get too far in before falling asleep. Thank you so very,very much from myself and my sweet Ivy Mae.

You are a gem and I appreciate you so much!

It's much better to be read to slowly like this. That way, I don't have to focus so hard on the story and can let my imagination unravel. It's wonderfully relaxing even if I don't drift off to sleep.

Stephen, after you began the introduction, I realized I must let you know I have been subscribed and listened nightly for almost two months. You are so positive. I love that you tell us we are in a safe place. Love your voice and absolutely the only sleep story teller I like. I'm from Eureka Springs Arkansas. Live, work and voluteeer at the Great Passion Play here. Finding peace and joy is so vital in this day and time. The relaxation is great and I enjoy any guided imagery. I live in the beautiful Ozark Moutains. Of course there are many folklore story's from the Ozarks and some are great and positive. Just a thought. Guide us on a weekend in the deep woods in cozy peaceful tree house. A tropical island with sounds of tropical birds, waves and feeling the warm sun, nice wind coming off the ocean as one is laying in a hammock gentally rocking falling inti a deep slumber as you decrible a great dream the one is having. . A tour up the Amazon River? Since I'm new, you may have done something like these suggestions. Anyway, I wanted to give you a shout out and genuinely thank you for what you do. You are the best of the best! Blessing, peace and joy to you and your family.

During school breaks I would go straight to the library were bullies could give me a hard time because of the adults there I already had a great imagination so I thank my bullies now I became A very good reader and was asked to be a school Liberian thank you for taking me back there. Books took me places I would never go too.my children and grandchildren love books as well. Poetry was also a love of mine. 😊🦋❤️
