    **Hi friends, hopefully the last of these updates and reposts. I am clearing up nicely. I’m getting started on a new series of recordings over the weekend and a fresh episode will drop next week. Thanks for the patience, sleep well. Dave** In this episode the long boring recitation of many of the Italian masters of painting will help you fall asleep. It’s actually quite interesting stuff, just fairly dry, especially the way I red it! 😊 Sleep well!   Story (01:27)   Find A History of Art for Beginners and Students: Painting, Sculpture, Architecture https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/25632   Supporting Sleepy Time TalesIf you would like to support my work and help keep the podcast available and for free, there are several ways you can support the show. ·        You can support the show as a supporter on Patreon and receive a host of bonuses including Patron only episodes and special edits https://www.patreon.com/sleepytimetales ·        If you’re enjoying Sleepy Time Tales and would like to make a financial contribution, but would rather not commit to a monthly payment then you can throw a tip in the jar at https://ko-fi.com/sleepytimetales Patreon Sleep Tight Patrons JessChuckMystiRobertaTraciMoyaSandraCarlaJosephAYAmyJacqueAbbieGinaPlease ShareIf you’re enjoying the show, and finding it helps you sleep despite the stresses and strains of your life, the absolute best thing you can do is share it with your friends, families, acquaintances, cellmates etc. Anyone who needs a good night’s sleep might benefit.

    REPOST - Learning About The Sun and Planets As You Prepare To Sleep

    **Hi Friends, it’s me again. Turns out Swine Flu is quite bad, zero stars, do not recommend. I’m actually mostly fine, I just have a stubborn cough which means my breathing is struggling and my throat is sore most of the time. Obviously, this makes recording impossible, but I’m hoping that in the course of the next week I can start again and get some fresh snoozy stories out to you all. Thanks very much for your patience, I’m very grateful. Chat soon Dave** As you settle down to sleep get prepared for the boring details of the activity of the sun, how it was believed in the 1920s how sunspots were formed, the mechanism of how the sun works, and also learn about he inner planets. Even Vulcan, which for a while was speculated to exist closer to the sun than Mercury!   Story (01:21)   Find Astronomy: The Science of the Heavenly Bodies by David P.

    REPOST - Little Women – Amy’s Adventures with Aunt March

    Hi friends. A nasty bug has been doing the rounds in my family and hit me just as it was leaving, so I don’t have the voice to be doing any recording. I’m taking this as a sign from the universe and taking a short break, so I will drop some fun readings from this year to enjoy over the holidays. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season, see you in the new year. Dave   In this week’s bedtime story, Beth’s illness continues so this reading we follow Amy’s trials staying with Aunt March. The Aunt is s nice lady, although old fashioned and Amy is unhappy. But she finds an ally in the maid. And back home, mother gets back from visiting father and everyone is glad to see her, although Jo is shocked to find that her parents are happy with a young man’s interest in Meg.
