Customer Reviews
Insomnia? I recommend trying this podcast!
So many classics, and all of them are unbelievably boring! Narrator has a soft and sleepy voice, and he is reading quite monotonously. Listening this podcast is a great way to stop my bouncing thoughts. An “interesting” book distracts my adhd-brain long enough but is really not too interesting, and is a great help for me to fall asleep.
Thank you!
I've been having trouble falling asleep for years, especially when I'm stressed. It always takes a lot of time to "shut off" my brain and I often wake up during the night, having to go through the whole process again. Listening to sleepy made it much easier: I just focus on the story and before I know it I'm asleep. I hardly ever wake up during the night! So thank you so much for this, it's been really helpful and I also enjoy the selection of your stories.
Here are some books I would love to hear on Sleepy, if possible:
The Picture of Dorian Gray
A Christmas Carol
The Time Machine
The War of the Worlds
The Metamorphosis
Great Expectations
Peter Pan
Around the World in Eighty Days
The Phantom of the Opera
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
