Well, no sleep listening to this story because it was so wonderfully told and because it brought up so many beautiful memories. I used to be the printer at the British Embassy in Bonn. I started working there when I was 22 years old. My printing machine and press were ancient. I had to use the old metal letters in a composing stick too. The smell of the ink I will never forget. I used to do invitation cards for the Ambassador, the headed paper with the Queens crown for all the documents we used to send out. It was the hardest job I have ever had to learn, but it was the job I loved most. Sadly everything moved to Berlin in 1999. My old press and printing machine were sold to a museum and a new chapter started in my life. Thank you for this story , I am smiling and happy. I will listen to another of your stories to sleep 😊❤

[@christierichardson2841]

Thank you for your years of dedication ❤. It's an often thank less job.. Blessings and peace for you 🙏.

[@mitaganguly3948]

Wow. So interesting. Love to learn about interesting things people do.

What an interesting life you had as a printer! Thank you for sharing your work with us. Blessings to you as you enjoy your life and the memories you created. 😊

Ive introduced both my kids to your meditations , after struggling with grief due to the lost of their dad..Thank you sir, although we carry our grief, the inner pain is lessened by listening to your sleep stories. My go to each evening..Thank you , from South Africa

[@3000RAINBOW]

I'm really looking forward to this one...my.Dad was a printer in the 60's and 70s until the chemicals took their toll and his exzma became unbearable. He recently told me that he once printed the cheque books for Malcolm X (his British account) and below the signature line, it literally read 'Malcolm X'...nothing more. He also told me he had to sign the Official Secrets Act when he joined this particular printing firm so maybe I shouldn't be sharing this😅😅😅...sweet dreams my friends 😊😊😊

[@stephanienoire1892]

I feel so anxious because I work early tomorrow. But I know your soothing voice will take care of me

[@user-wv2tl2yh9k]

This is the best night! perfect ! My 9 yr old ok grandson is with me. Bless him he’s going thru a lot. This is the first time he’s heard this. I loved when u said “ur safe. Ur ok” your voice soothed his little spirit. Thank u my friend!

[@christierichardson2841]

Prayers for your grandson 🙏. These children have to face so many challenges these days that we didn't have to deal with. 😢

[@terrianderson1014]

Blessings to your grandson as he endures this season of life. May he find peace and comfort in Stephen’s charming, caring stories. And may you be able to always remind him that he is safe and cared for. ❤

[@douglove2412]

So sad your grandson is in pain. He is lucky to have his sweet grandmother. I hope he finds the world a beautiful place, problems and all.

How bout a story about a Trail Ride. Horse sounds, saddle bridle hooves walking Sunsetting etc. ? Does that sound good?

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Yes it does.

[@123footballlpass]

Hey sephan I love sleeping and you make it so easy. I have a idea for you, a story about a light cave with magic beasts and cuye animals and muschruums that give pastel colors ❤❤ love felix if you juse the idea kan you do a choutout❤❤

[@loveswayright]

Please continue to stay wholesome and kind. Loved it. Thx you two ❤

[@gamingndrawing]

Goodnight Stephen ❤😊 also could you do a story about a girl who realises the beauty of the world when she gets lost in the woods?

[@tiffanyschulz8699]

Yes please!

[@ChrisRocco94]

Had the worse week of my life since Monday. Things can't get any worse right now, I'm just about holding on 😔 I follow you on 2 accounts this is my work phone, I've listened to every single video and you have helped me more than ever the past few days. Honestly I don't have a clue what I'd do or where I'd be if your videos wasn't here. You have saved my life in some ways. I'm going to try and sleep, it's 2.15am in the UK. Goodnight x

[@christierichardson2841]

Oh, sweetie. I'm so sorry your week was so bad. Yes, just hold on because nothing last forever and things will eventually get better. Prayers for you 🙏.

[@ChrisRocco94]

@christierichardson2841 thank you so much for your kind words. If there's one good thing to take from a bad situation, it's once you hit rock bottom there's only one way to go!

[@Stephen_Dalton]

I’m sorry to hear that things are tough Chris. I have been in very bad places in my life too so I understand. All I can say is keep going and I have no doubt that things will improve. Life has ups and downs. It’s a part of being human. Probably hollow words right now, but I am happy that the stories are helping you. Keep reaching out. You matter. I wish you peace 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ChrisRocco94]

@Stephen_Dalton such kind and warming words Stephen. I've been stuck in a cycle for many years. PTSD and health anxiety etc, to drug addiction. Currently fighting all 3 problems. I was clean for 2 months but recently unfortunately relapsed. So, we go again and I keep listening to the sleep stories. PS: the rain sounds make the videos so much better. Thank you again, Chris x

[@marianwalters5241]

Aww I’ve been there! Honestly nothing lasts forever. Bad times, good times, they come and go. I hope you have a lot of support for this difficult time. Bless you.

[@monicaoancea3509]

Definitely want part 2!❤😊

[@christinekennedy601]

How comforting. I'm safe and my bed is strong. Thanks Stephen still listening from Cork. Your wife gave you a wonderful idea for this tale.

Sound like a beautiful story looking forward to it as I always look forward to every story good night my friends❤

[@salllystone9719]

Well, Stephen, you hit me again with this exquisite tale of a kind, compassionate printer and his inordinate influence on innumerable lives. Not to mention how he impacted the society and culture his era as well as many decades to come. What a brilliant expose! Yes. it was another nostalgic adventure to my many past jobs, where I was blessed to work with a printer at a prestigious university, an editor of a small newsletter, and an innovative creator of a country newspaper, all of whom I hadn't thought of in years. Thank you for the fond memories of days gone by that highly influenced and enriched my life and mold me into the person I am today. Bravo!

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Thank you Sally. Lovely comment

[@Sabrina79]

I'm listening to this again because last night I fell asleep before the relaxation countdown even finished! 😂 Of course I guess that means it works! Great job, Rebecca and Stephen!

[@glenn20081965]

Hi Stephen, I'm slowly working through your collection and find them enthralling. I have a story suggestion for you. How about a visit to a graveyard on a wind-swept rainy cold night. You could visit the graves, read the inscriptions, and give a back story to each person or persons.

[@user-bw2cy1ff7c]

Wow another beautiful reading..xx

[@sviatlanasimental561]

Hello dear Stephen . My name is Svetlana Simental, but my friends call me Luz, thank you very much for your channel! He is so amazing and magical. I found your channel completely by accident and fell in love from the first minutes of listening, each story for me is a whole world, the touch of which excites the soul. Sets you up for an incredibly sublime wave of joy and emotional calm. I share your videos with friends from my distant homeland of Belarus, as well as here in California. Thanks again for your creativity. God bless you, your better half Rebecca and your dog Timmy. May the Lord give you many new ideas and plans for your channel. After all, I am sure that he helps many people not to lose heart and move forward. Sincerely, Svetlana Simental.

I just stumbled upon your channel a few weeks ago and have to say that I truly enjoy and appreciate your meditations. They are very poetic, high quality and thoughtful. The imagery is wonderful as well as the layers of sound and music to create a safe haven for sleep. The story concepts and seasonal influences are very cool. I especially like the mythology themed and Celtic Healers story.Many thanks for these amazing meditations/sleep stories to you and your team!

[@3000RAINBOW]

I would love to hear a story about an old fashioned day on the bus. My mum is in her 70s and she still gets together with an old school friend to take a 1 or 2 hour bus journey, to nowhere in particular, just to catch up, stare out the window, say hello to some folk, and have a thermos tea.

[@user-mi6bb2ky4c]

What a lovely story. Thank you Stephen -- and Rebecca too!❤

Please please make a following story and this music is like a lullaby ❤

[@mitaganguly3948]

Wish he lived in my town❤. Could use his messages sometimes. Thanks for conveying some.❤ Note to self: maybe I should be that printer. Am I even a good neighbour? A kind compliment, a sympathetic ear, a genuine grin.... Point to ponder.... 🤔....ugh..

[@michellequehl3605]

Thank you for this. I don't believe I've ever thought about the origion of mass produced written knowledge. This was educational for me as well as very beautiful to listen to. I don't want to tell an artist how to do their craft but if I ever had the opportunity to hear a story about a helpful fantasy creature from the perspective of the creature (fairy gnome elf something) as if they're telling the story. I think you almost did this with the English subway elves. I hope my idea makes sense. ❤ from your #1 🇨🇦 fan

Hi! I love your stories so much. I had a suggestion I thought I’d mention, what about a story about riding on a little boat being pushed through the canals through Bruges, Belgium? 🇧🇪

Hi Helen, some stories have piano and done don’t. I have over 100 stories so you will hopefully find some that suit you better. Also if you want you can go to patreon (link below most of my videos) and if you want to become a patron of the channel you have exclusive access to my stories with zero music or sound.

I was wondering, in the countdown, #10, feeling supported by the solidity and constancy of the earth, do you have any thoughts for people going to sleep on a ship, especially on the deep ocean? That probably doesn't feel too solid or supported. That environment is really pretty dangerous and precarious.

[@123footballlpass]

Hello im felix and i love sleeping and you help me do so. I have a idea for a next storry. A nice cozy cave with cute animals and muschruums that give light. If you do fo my idea kan you please say my name at the beginning of your video love you ❤❤ felix
