Please never stop making these videos they are just great. I have a newborn baby that I have to get up with in the night and these videos are a godsend to help me get back to sleep really quickly. My husband also snores so it's great to put my headphones on and still get to sleep! Thank you Stephen ❤😂😅

[@somnolencedream]

😂

[@jjolamp]

could've written this myself as I'm up with my 7 week old and snoring husband! these help tremendously!

[@Stephen_Dalton]

I’ll do my best to never stop. You can count on it. I wish you peace 🙏🏻

[@christierichardson2841]

Yes, my husband snores really loud. We even talked about sleeping in separate rooms but with this, I can drown him out.

[@sophiexcx799]

@@christierichardson2841 sometimes only a hard elbow nudge will do 🤣

[@JennyLane8666]

I'm at a loss as to how you can be so prolific, yet never need to repeat a setting. You are weaving a grand tapestry of comfort and love. I hope you know how much it means to us xx

[@Stephen_Dalton]

That’s amazing to read Jenny 🙏🏻

[@Dara-wl7hy]

Your stories, ur voice , it’s not only comforting but brings you to such a warm, happy place. God bless you

[@wyzolma99]

Stephen, I want to express deep gratitude for these videos that you post. You are a gift to us all🌠🙏💞

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Wow, thank you

[@nickykilleen7254]

Going through the menopause here uggggg insomnia and hot flushes throughout the night but these sleep stories are a huge help in relaxing me back to sleep 😴 it’s fantastic to hear how they help other people in so many different ways 💕

[@Srithasandon]

These sleep stories have changed my life. I would lie awake in bed night after night, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep for hours. Thank you so much: because of your stories, I now fall asleep in minutes. I’ve never finished any of your stories yet😂 but I’m sooooo very grateful for them. Thank you so much, once again

[@jacquelineireland2273]

Not only are your readings soothing, the visuals are so cozy and relaxing I look at them till my eyes close and your voice does the rest to put me to sleep. It's a dual dose of relaxation for eyes and mind. Thank you.

[@Feetareleghands]

As someone with chronic sleep issues, I can safely say I don't usually get 30 minutes into your videos before I am completely asleep. Thank you for your constant contribution to health and wellbeing this brings me, and many others. 😊

[@geraldvaughan5103]

Never heard such, BS

[@ariesdawn3148]

My power went out and it's really quiet in here. So thankful to have this bedtime story to relax to with the storms we are having.

[@K12122]

Same! A power outage in the middle of hurricane rain brought me here at 130am smh so weird that the rain isn't helping me sleep, could be bc it's increasingly getting warmer in here with the AC off 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@szekelyalina6179]

Every night I fall asleep listening to your beautiful stories and your calming voice. I am so grateful, thank you very much! Greetings from Romania. 😊

[@Amy-dw7ii]

Amazing voice. So deep but soothing. It’s like everything is going to be OK. ❤for an anxiety sufferer, this is heaven sent.

[@emma.x4669]

The relaxation exercises are always my favorite. It’s the only time I try take a step back from the things going on in my life and truly feel at peace. 😊

[@unknownh7969]

I have a severe insomnia I can never relax my mind to sleep and I found your video and felt asleep the first 15 mins thank you sooo much and I appreciate your videos to the point I can listen to the same one every time thank you and may god bless you , keep up the good work ❤

[@alanwake9201]

Thank you so much, Stephen! Antique stores is one of my favourite topics. Like book shops and libraries 😄

[@zepher2470]

Another brilliant video Stephen. Could I request a horse drawn carriage video? Could start out in a city and then move into the country with rain sounds? Would be so relaxing 😊

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Nice idea. Thank you and noted 🙏🏻

[@christierichardson2841]

That would be awesome.

[@layliadoran7430]

Yeah that sounds so lovely !!

[@amandareed4419]

I love this idea. We need this story for sure.

[@jwilliams1145]

In a lot of pain today. And getting into bed really amplifies it as I can really locate the areas of pain because I'm static, making getting off to sleep so difficult. Thank you because these stories aide my pain distraction. ❤❤

[@Femmebutstillathem]

Same here. Hope you found some rest

[@spanglelime]

I hope your pain flare has settled down. Completely understand how you're feeling with this comment. My CRPS can be a huge bitch sometimes. Massive hugs (can't hurt anyone with virtual hugs😀).

[@Amy-dw7ii]

So sorry. I can understand. I hope it stops and gives you some peace. It’s horrible being in pain always. ❤❤❤

[@NIGHT-TIMESANCTUARY]

Stay strong 💪!, whishing you he best.

[@mcdade7489]

I never looked forward to going to bed, because I had a lot of trouble falling asleep. Since I’ve found your channel, I look forward to going to sleep. Your stories and especially your wonderful voice help me fall asleep quickly. Thank you 😊

[@janicesnyder9305]

Thank you for your sleep stories. I have terrible headaches and insomnia, and your soothing voice and lovely stories are sometimes the only things that give me relief.

[@taryndugan6733]

I don’t usually comment on videos… but you should know this! I have a new puppy. She is 4 months old now. I was trying to have her sleep in a crate in the living room. Well she would always cry’s and whine and wake up in the night. So one night I was exhausted and I let her sleep in bed with me listening to your sleep stories. Safe to say, it was magic. I haven’t had 1 night where she didn’t sleep through the night as long as we have your stories playing. THANK YOU!!!

[@CosmicTruthTeller]

Animals shouldn’t be kept in cages. They want to sleep with you and be treated as family. Crates are cages … If you wouldn’t do it to a human, then don’t do it to an animal.

[@mayrapiloni]

Your voice is simply the best! Thank you 🙏🏼 for these wonderful stories 😍

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Great to hear from you again! I hope you’re good 🙏🏻

[@mayrapiloni]

@@Stephen_Dalton I listen to every one of them 🥰✨ thank you! Hope your enjoying your summer Stephen!

[@colb1416]

7 times I've listened to this and fell asleep way before the end. I'd like to listen to your other works, maybe the day this one stops working. Thank you for your time, effort and commitment. 😊

[@devynnlovestoucans]

I love your videos. Even though I may not be an adult, as the title suggests I still love your videos. I know everytime I turn one on I can sleep peacefully.❤

[@breannaseymour3396]

❤ Please keep doing what you're doing! I adore your videos and follow your channel. I have CPTSD and your videos are sometimes the only thing that helps me get back to sleep after a particularly bad nightmare or night terror. Thank you so much! ❤

[@issyness8658]

Stephen, Love your stories! Thank you for doing this! I’ve listened to this one 3 times and never remember the same things! So fun, sometimes I just listen for the story! I love to be read to and I love to read out-loud to others! My father told us bedtime stories, never had a book, he made them up the spot! My, my, that was 70 years ago! Thank you again!

[@jenniferjones5025]

I want to say thank you for these videos. I've struggled with sleep for over 12 years and used many meditation apps and sleep stories over that time to try to help, yours are by far the most effective and I very rarely make it even halfway through the stories before I'm fast asleep...meaning I can listen to them again another night! Thank you so much ❤

[@Stephen_Dalton]

This is awesome Jennifer 🙏🏻

[@Val-rd4lb]

Holy cow. I fell asleep before the dang story started! Woke up with a narley toothache so I'm going to try this again. Have a great night everyone 😁

[@EddieTheBeardedBarber]

I’ve been falling asleep to your stories almost every night for weeks and I can’t tell you how soothing and calming your voice and these stories are. I never make it all the way through.

[@randmtashar]

Thank you for the amazing videos. The effort and creativity are out of this world ❤

[@Acbound]

Love love love these stories. Could you please do a snowy cold story! Middle of summer here could use a nice chilly story to snuggle up with. 🥶😊

[@b.r.mcardle2523]

Just came across your page last night i have tried story's before but they all have adds in them or the story teller voice gets louder at times and i jump so for my First time listening i don't even remember falling asleep it was so soothing i have alot of medical problems im in pain 24 7 and have PTSD and i have trouble sleeping so it was so nice to listen to you last night 😊 im going to have to listen again tonight and try to get past the first 20 or 25 minutes . Thank you 💜

[@nightshipnet]

I wish I could like this one twice

[@spanglelime]

I caught a cold/flu virus, so I'm struggling with my sleep patterns atm. I feel exhausted, then I can't sleep all night. Should have played this earlier, but I'm playing this now. Youre definitely the best sleep story channel on YT. Thank you! ❤

[@Jactourn]

Thank you for this narration. The initial relaxation helps me let go of the day and I’m happy to say I don’t remember how the story ends (since I fall asleep!) from a grateful listener in Sacramento CA

[@gailbolin8513]

My cat loves to listen at our bedtime.

[@Stephen_Dalton]

That’s cool

[@alisonthorne323]

Just discovered you, been listening to your stories for 2 weeks now, I have chronic Tinnitus and these stories do help me refocus

[@anawilliams7751]

The Antique store was an amazing story. I can see the different places in my mind while you described the place, so vividly done! Keep up with these wonderful meditation stories. It has been helping me 😊sleep and feel at ease. Thank you!🌹

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Glad you enjoyed it Ana. I enjoyed writing it 🙏🏻

[@alienonion4636]

When I was young I'd go to antique shops. And like this fall asleep story I'd handle two or three different items and be mentally transported or just know a few things about who owned each item. I haven't done that in awhile. I slept most peacefully hearing this one.

[@gaelkone3605]

Thank ou from the Center and the Bottom of my Heart Dear Stephen Dalton 🙏💖😇 I also want to thank your partner Jona for the Beautiful animations that illlustrate your Wonderful Stories. We are truly blessed to be able to hear the Heavenly Gifts that your Stories are and I am extremely grateful to you both. Your stories give me so much soothing comfort, joy, wonder and peace of heart that each time, it feels like my Heart ascends to Heaven through the Angelic Vibrations of your Voice and of the Magical Amazingly Beautiful and Generous Creativity of your Poetic Storytelller Heart. Thank you so very much Dear Angel XOXOXO 👑💜💙💚💛🧡❤💝🌈🌠🦄🌛💫

[@dianahilts7709]

I listen to you every night and I don't hear the end of the story before I'm asleep thank you Steven . ❤

[@Dana-jj4wf]

I have become addicted to this podcast!!!! You tuck me in every night!!!!

[@Cara.Mia.]

❤ 😂😂😂 Tuck you in with a “Bedtime story!” 🙌 ❤

[@shikatsu_ch]

hello mr Dalton! I'm actually of the much newer viewers and I just wanted to let you know that your videos have helped me with insomnia so much for the past month. I've been listening every single nights since I found your channel. If you're taking any request could you please do a story about a fairy tea party? or just a calming time spending in a beautiful hydrangea garden. again, thank you for your videos!!

[@Downeylynn]

Thank you so much!❤ helping me during severe illness so appreciate you.

[@tracycraig3689]

Your voice is so calming that I can't help but surrender. Thank you for your beautiful gift !

[@chocolatechip1089]

Just got the notification for this whilst sat downstairs with my parents and started gushing about how well I'm going to sleep tonight hahaha!

[@somnolencedream]

Me too! I always take inspiration from Dalton to make my own sleep stories, but fall asleep before the stories even begin 😅

[@zoestainse8164]

Thankyou so much for these, can you please do an extra long cabin story !!???

[@dawndarling8853]

💜💜💜

[@josefinajaime4550]

❤❤❤❤thaks a lot , Stephen. When I was a child my mom used to tell me stories that's why Is soo relaxing besides your voice and content.I'm an English teacher AND writer from México ❤❤❤❤love It, thanks.

[@susanbaker8023]

I listened to this story again last night. Wonderful story and I haven't heard the end yet. Bless you.

[@rhaynehowlette5621]

Your voice is just so soothing, most of the time I never make it more than 5 minutes into the story party. 😅 I love your videos, thank you for making them and sharing with all of us. 😊

[@loriwatson1114]

Most beautiful ever!!

[@anne-mariemoore]

Your stories and voice are the only ones which get me to sleep every night. Much gratitude 🙏 ❤

[@rhondabuce8348]

Your voice is phenomenal. It is a gift that creates a soothing and relaxing place for sleep and rest. Thank you.

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Wow, thank you Rhonda 🙏🏻

[@av.6365]

Listened to this last night and I'm back for more.

[@smilincuz1228]

I’ve never gotten through one of your stories….and that’s a compliment! Thank you!

[@susanboardman9294]

This is one of my favourites. I've listened to so many of your stories now. Often asleep after the relaxation and don't always hear all the story X I think your voice is like a trigger for sleep now. Thank you so much. You're always there when I need you ❤

[@ericasabbage413]

Thank you so much Stephen for your wonderful sleep stories. Everyone I’ve heard so far has been perfect. Interesting enough to get my mind off all the things invading my mind during the night keeping me from relaxing peaceful sleep. I can drift into anyone of your stories and your calming voice now has the ability to instantly take me into a different world. I often fall into a calm and relaxed state and let all the fears and anxieties of the night slip away. Your relaxing little pre story words are always able to get me ready to quietly release all the tensions held in my body. I haven’t enjoyed such deep sleep for a long time but since finding you my long nights are no longer a thing to dread. Many blessings on you dear Stephen 😊💓

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Thank you Erica. Lovely words 🙏🏻😊

[@jenniferw.1114]

These legit work for me. Am lucky to make it 15 minutes before I'm out like a light. I remember him saying the shop owner had as many stories as the antiques themselves, chuckling to myself thinking I'm sure he does and wondering what they were and poof, dreamland!😴

[@charlouw7727]

I absolutely love your voice. Thank for the relaxation. Greetings from Namibia 🇳🇦

[@ImmeubleMonk]

This is my favourite story. I love ❤it

[@LillianSotomayor-wo7fr]

I just want to say thank you so much for helping me. I really do believe your stories are awesome , even though ,I really don't get a chance to hear them because ,I fall asleep. But that is the whole idea for me, because of my anxiety and trouble sleeping. I love the prepping up before the story. Again thank you so much

[@funkitprocreate]

Absolutely loving your sleep stories! So soothing! Thank you for these ❤

[@suedudzinski]

Love love this story thank you😊

[@marymagerr6488]

Thank you for sleep beautiful sleep 💤

[@LauraFerguson-ue5zk]

Less rhan 5mins in and my 8year old is asleep hopefully when i go to bed I'm asleep as fast thank u Steven 🎉😊❤

[@susanboardman9294]

Anxiety and worries dog my life and it is do hard to switch off. I hsve listened to yiur storied every night for a month now. I need your voice to help me sleep. Thank you thank you. I love the antique shop 👍😴

[@janicesnyder9305]

I take several sleep aids. Without your videos, they are ineffective.

[@LydiaRucker-dr9zx]

Love your stories it is the best thing I don't have to take my sleep medicine anymore thank to your stories I love the train stories I was station in Europe

[@Sid-gj8xd]

This is my favorite video from you. I watch it to fall asleep all the time. Thank you for making these videos for us! ❤

[@ghostlyy333]

oooo posted right before my bed time , imma sleep well tonight ✨

[@loriwatson1114]

Going to listen again😊

[@claredyj2015]

Lovely story - would it be possible to put in ‘rain’ sound effects to future stories? I find that so relaxing 😌

[@NIGHT-TIMESANCTUARY]

i was thinking the same thing

[@Femmebutstillathem]

I keep coming back to this one i love it

[@Teaiskey]

I am sure you have some hypnotic power you using..I don't really care because I am just tooo glad to get to sleep. Sometimes I have to restart numerous times when I wake up in the night..but the best times are when I wake up and realize I've slept for 6 hours. Thank you for doing this for others you are truly a precious soul.

[@jenroberts5226]

Your voice is mesmerising, beautiful.

[@sophieedwards7753]

Thank you for these videos! They definitely help me! What about a walk around a big glass house full of tropical flowers and butterflies, maybe even watching once of the butterflies coming out if a chrysalis

[@BLKawa]

An idea… a tour of architectural wonders (either an imaginary journey at their peak in the past, or a journey through the ruins)… Machu Pichu, pyramids of Giza, Stone Henge, etc.

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Good idea. Thank you

[@okesoncharlie]

Yes, much more soothing without the rain. Sometimes, just a good voice is enough 👌

[@donnagrainger225]

I never have had good sleep until i found your videos. Now I sleep so well its incredible. So thank you and please never stop these incredible storied

[@Stephen_Dalton]

That’s wonderful to read.

[@lauramelvin8979]

You are my go to every night. I don't even bother browsing my previous tellers after hearing just one story from you. So. How about a story of riding dragon back. Over the mountains, skimming the sea... X

[@user-qo6vi4tm5r]

I am enjoying these meditations. They are better than using pills. Thank you. Without

[@katelynk429]

Thank you ❤

[@TheWolfPanda]

New listener and I REALLY appreciate these. I've been having hard bouts of insomnia and my normal go-to meditation channels don't seem to be working any more. These knock me right out

[@wendymedder6775]

3rd time of asking for a story about a worry that grew and grew till it disappeared. Thank you this helps so much! ❤️❤️❤️😀

Will do my best. I would need to work out how this can be a story. But leave it with me 👍🏻🙏🏻

[@ashleygibson5811]

I've tried dozens of different sleep videos on KZbin... they work for a few days and then don't.... around 9 months ago I stumbled upon one of your videos... now your videos are how I go to sleep every night. Thank you!

[@danimania2050]

Thank you for helping me to relax so thoroughly and fall asleep quickly! This video has my favorite beginning meditation. While I have played several of your videos, I have yet to actually hear a full story. Your voice is so soothing that I cannot stay awake until the end. I've recommended your sleep stories to anyone who will listen.
