Sleepy Time Tales - Bedtime Stories for Sleep and Relaxation David Couto

 The Dark Ages, 476-918 by Charles Oman – The Eastern Emperors
This week’s sleepy episode sees us return to the ‘dark ages.’ When the mighty Roman Empire split in half the western half, the part actually based in Italy, was ruled by a succession of barbarian kings.
But in the East, based in Constantinople, the empire was ruled by a number of Emperors who considered themselves Roman and had a period of relative peace.
While you lie and wait for sleep to come, let me tell you about them.

The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories by Lord Dunsany – The Fall of Babbelkund
Lord Dunsany can be relied on for something whimsical and mystical, and this week’s reading of The Fall of Babbelkund, an ancient and wondrous city. As you try to doze off the protagonist meets several people telling of the wonders and mysteries of the city carved from a mountain.
Will you still be awake when they meet the prophet going to spell doom to Babbelkund?
Maybe, but you will probably be sleeping when the protagonist gets to where they’re going, only to find the whole city gone.

The Last Man by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
I was worried picking what was supposedly the first post apocalyptic novel for this podcast, but it’s taking forever to get there and we pick up this week with out protagonist returning home with his sick friend, and a budding romance with the distractingly named young woman Idris.
But Idris and Adrian’s noble mother does not approve of the match up and she has something up her sleeve.
Both an interesting read and a boring on so I’m sure you will be asleep soon enough.

Birds and their nests by Mary Howitt – Nightingales, Larks and More Oh My!
We pick up with this listener favourite and learn the mating and nesting habits of several birds, including beloved songbirds like Nightingales, Skylarks and more.
We learn how they migrate, about attempts to introduce some of the birds to new areas and the parenting habits of birds like plovers.
A lot of cute stories in here, with the occasional darkness of true nature.

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald  Pt 03 – Sleepy Stories of Parties and Scandal
This week’s bedtime story for all ages picks up with our protagonist at a party at the house of his cousin’s husband’s mistress, and it is every bit as awkward as you expect.
The story then moves to another party that’s awkward in its own way as he receives an invite to Gatsby’s house and is immersed in the middle of the bright and beautiful young things, where meeting the host is more challenging than expected.
Stories of music, and excitement are one thing, but they won’t stop you from falling asleep.
