  • Summary

  • Sleep is a struggle these days, so this podcast is here to help. Insomnia and sleep deprivation are an epidemic and some have turned to a sleep podcast to help them manage their insomnia. Listen to me tell you a story in the most boring way I can think of, to help distract your spinning mind from the stresses of the day and allow you to slip away to a good night’s rest while you’re not stressing about it. A mix of fiction stories; popular classics and obscure finds alike, along with non-fiction; travelogues, histories, geology text books and strange finds, mean there is a guarantee to be something that keeps you just interested enough to half listen but not be so interesting that you are transfixed and desperate to hear how things go. So try out Sleepy Time Tales, the podcast full of bedtime stories that are boring enough that you won’t resist the call of sleep.

    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.

Maybe I've just been exhausted...

or maybe this is *just*that*effective* !!

I often wonder, too, these folks who share their gift of putting others out like a light --- what must their social life be like...?

I'm betting there is none for this narrator! ;)
