The Enchanted Castle & The Mystic Library - Guided Sleep Story

[@GhirkoArt]

Those tips at the start for adjusting play length were fantastic and showed how much love was put into this video. A small detail but I never knew it and just the slight effort of adding it made me feel connected to the audio. I know that probably sounds weird, but still, thank you!

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Glad it was helpful Ghirko 🙏🏻

[@brownell.landrum]

Did you find out how to do it? Because I can't. (I do have a separate app that works as a timer, but couldn't find anything on KZbin itself that would do it.)

[@GhirkoArt]

@@brownell.landrum Admittedly no 😔

[@caram2064]

@@brownell.landrum If you have an iPad or iPhone go to the setting (Cog) in the top right hand corner, all the settings are there. Not sure for other computers or phones, you may have to ‘Google - How to....?’ 🙏

[@brownell.landrum]

@@caram2064 Aha - looks like it's not available on PC or Android phone/tablets. Thanks for replying.

[@jillywest]

Thank you for your stories. I’m scared of sleep due to PTSD and anxiety but you soothe me and give me comfort. So grateful. Can you carry on for the rest of my life please? I never wanna run out of your stories. I like the ones with a real escapist story to them rather than just descriptions of places. I also like ‘get sleepy’ page the stories with the little people and old folk and fairy stories. Thanks so much

[@jenniferbodine1921]

It’s the voice for me. Thank you for shutting my mind off when I am unable to. You have made my rest so much better!

[@IngaN-f2m]

Stephen's videos are more than magical they are the essence of healing for all with no toxic associations or attachments just pure TLC 💚

[@Kb-gn4cr]

I've yet to make it to the end of any of these stories. No bigger compliment for a channel designed to help me sleep

[@denalambert5799]

Your stories are the only ones to which I can fall asleep. Your voice is so soothing. Thank you!

[@carolyn7004]

So sweet, so lovely, so good , keep ancient stories coming!

[@nanahopeDale]

It's the Irish accent! It's a win win situation for asmr story telling, the natural musical lift of our accent is perfect I've thought about doing it myself well done Stephen

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Ha yes we Irish are blessed. It's in our DNA to be storytellers. Thanks so much for the support and the warm words. Much appreciated. Stephen :)

[@timeafrank6145]

Irish? I am a hungarian , i have never heard such an understandable, gentle english

[@derp195]

​@@timeafrank6145 It's similar to an American accent, but with all the edges softened.

[@j.t.1215]

​@@Stephen_Dalton It gives me added pride to have Irish blood running in my veins. This is a beautiful story too 💚 🍀

[@theslof1]

These Are enjoyable for the voice, the music, the imagination, presentation but I found the quotes from Austen, wilde and Shakespeare intrusive and distracting. More of Dalton, please,!

[@carleylawson5778]

My entire life I have struggled with sleep. I have multiple sleep disorders and usually endure panic attacks at the thought of sleep. These videos help me feel safe and excited to curl up in bed. Thank you!♥️

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Wonderful to hear that the stories help Carley 🙏🏻

[@margarethooten3007]

I'm so very happy for you! 😍

[@MariaFlores-yx3ke]

Ayeee Carley 💓💓🎉💓

[@nancyconard5129]

Since finding your stories, I have found a true pattern for falling asleep...your voice is calming and the stories put all nighttime worries out of my mind. Thanks.

[@Stephen_Dalton]

That’s great Nancy I’m happy to help you 🙏🏻

[@chaoschaos1478]

These lovely vids have been a game changer for me. I am an insomniac and get some nights where I am waking up every hour. I find the stories comfort me and at least relax me even if I still cant fall asleep. Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou........Lovely soothing voice, entertaining relaxing stories and just a high level of care throughout.

[@Snowstar50]

I want to thank you so much Stephen for your lovely sleep videos. At last I can get off to sleep! You have a wonderful, relaxing voice and the music and stories are excellent. Thank you 🤗🙏🏻🙏🏻

Your so special and this story is my fav I even passed it on to my 20 year old who also has horrible anxiety there horrible, I a through horrible mental and abuse sadly thank you for calming my mind down i appreciate you goodnight my dear friend

[@michellemeade1347]

I’ve just discovered you. So delighted to find a narrator with an Irish accent. Makes it feel more local for me. (Though the accents you change to when reading from the novels mentioned in this story are excellent.) Really love this. My new go-to channel when I can’t sleep, which is most nights! Thank you, Stephen, for creating this - wonderful! ❤️

[@Danthehorse]

What a wonderful audio journey. So well put together, sound, voice and words. Lovely.

I fall fast asleep as soon as you start talking. Thank you 🙏🏾

[@elaineedgar2913]

The best. Thank you.

[@LuckyDog-v3h]

Thank thank you for continuing to be there in voice through the entire hypnosis or meditation. I don't like it when they only talk for 1/8 of the period of time and the rest is music. Thank you❤

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Wow that's great Danielle. There's loads more to come. Thanks for sharing :)

[@saChiro4life]

There is Danielle. hover your mouse over the video screen and right click. then select loop from the drop down menu. good luck! 🙂

Love this story just like I love libraries. 🥰 There is always something special about libraries, especially if there are really old books there. 🙆🏽‍♀️ Magical to me. You have become a new addition to my sleep routine and I've really haven't slept so good in many years. 😌 Thank you so very much Stephen and team for each and every story. 🫶🏽 Your hard work and dedication is appreciated. ❤

[@katarinabrlic9147]

Woke up in the middle of the night while listening to this. While I was partly awake, and you came to the part Sleep drift, it felt like you were there, in my room, whispering into my ear. I'm not sure how to describe it.

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Wow that’s great Katrina. As long as I helped that’s the main thing 🙏🏻

[@yasmineh.1333]

I had this too! Although I'm such a nervous wreck that I woke up in a hurry trying to fight off whoever might've broken into the house to whisper in my ear lmaoooo

[@nltandjonas]

I not only want to thank you for such a calming sleep video, but also for the tips at the start...the one about disabling autoplay is a gamechanger! I've listened to rain/thunder videos before and knowing about this feature to stop the ads after a video stops, wouldve been helpful. Thanks, you have a new listener and subscriber 💯

[@pattyj1989]

I've been listening to your stories for a few weeks now, so apologies for my delay in subscribing. I've been suffering insomnia for years now for many different reasons - kids, trauma, anxiety, etc. I have to constantly evaluate my day/night routine because what works for a while eventually stops working, and I need to find new methods. I was stunned by how quickly I fell asleep to your stories, that I couldn't actually claim to have consciously listened to one because I'm out during the relaxation minutes! 😅 I just wanted to say a huge thank you because I have not fallen asleep so quickly and slept so well for years, you are a genius! Please keep doing what you're doing, because you are helping so many people in the most amazing way - giving them their rest, peace and mental health back. Thank you so much.
