Sleepy Time Tales - Bedtime Stories for Sleep and Relaxation

My kids have been listening to ‘Dave’ for about 18 months now. No kids sleep stories work on my 10 year old like this does, like a comforting old friend he kills her to sleep every night.

I’ve been using this podcast almost since it started and I love it. David has a lovely voice and his cadence is very soothing. It takes me a couple of episodes most nights to drop off but I’m getting far more sleep than without it and I leave it stream8ng overnight so that if I wake up it’s still going and it sends me back to sleep almost instantly. Some reviewers don’t like the long intro but it’s part of the system. Even when it takes more than one episode for me to sleep I’m relaxed and drifting by the end of the intro which is almost as good as actual sleep. The intro is part of a routine once you’re a regular listener. It gets to the point where just hearing the intro triggers your brain to realise it’s time to switch off. The stories themselves are a mix of original stories, mythology, readings, and reviews/recaps of tv shows or films. Personally the reviews are my least favourite but the other episodes are great. Just enough to keep your attention so your brain shuts up but not enough to keep you awake.
