I used to not be able to sleep most nights no matter what podcast I tried. There is no advertising which is amazing! Also this podcast is boring on purpose people 😒 its meant for sleeping 😴. The only suggestion I have is to make the music a bit quieter. Other than that it is perfect 🤩! I fall...Read full review »

Listen every night and hardly ever hear the back half of an episode

Thank you so much for making this podcast! I am an 11 year old boy who used to get 4 hours of sleep a day until I found this podcast! This helps me fall asleep every time. I feel like I could fall asleep right n— 😴💤. Note to haters: stop 🛑 sharing your negative opinions about this podcast! All it...Read full review »

I have had trouble falling asleep for my entire adult life, and while various things have worked for a time, nothing has lasted. So far this podcast has knocked me out every single night. They’re soothing, somehow boring and intriguing at the same time, and—I cannot stress this enough—have NO...Read full review »

This podcast is exactly what I was looking for to help me fall asleep. The only problem is that sometimes I actually find the book interesting and then I stay awake to listen 🤣

If, like me, you find the cloying, pornographic tones of ASMR make you want to scream, then this is not for you. Regular podcasts, (where people speak with purpose) make me sleepy but then they have ads that shout at you suddenly. This podcast tries to be sleep-inducing but it is just...Read full review »

2023 was a year of anxiety induced insomnia and finding this podcast was by far the best thing to happen. I listen super regularly and have found each recording better than the last. I tell everyone who struggles with sleep or falling asleep about this podcast.

If you need something to listen to to fall asleep like me, then this is absolutely perfect I do have one problem with it being the multiple parts for one book format. I understand there obviously cant sometimes be an entire book in one episode, but i cant seem to find the earlier parts for one...Read full review »

🙁😟😟😡 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/25/24
I have tried them all, multiple times. This is the gold standard and it owes this to the incredibly soothing voice and delivery of the narrator in combination with gentle-ish books that can actually be quite interesting! Sometimes I actually try to stay awake to hear them, but that lulling...Read full review »

I rated it three stars because when I listen to it, I can hear these glitchy/fuzzy sounds in between every few words, I’m not sure what is, but it’s annoying. Over all, it’s really good podcast.
Pig879 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/21/24
I really can’t rate this podcast highly enough! It works wonders on getting my brain to stop whirring at night and I’m often asleep before I get a chance to even remember what the reading was about. Even on the rare occasions it doesn’t put me to sleep straight away, all the the books usually...Read full review »

Perfect for calming your mind to fall asleep listening to boring content and the most soothing voice. It’s like sitting in a lack luster lecture and allowing yourself to give in to nodding off.
Kimneu via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/09/24
This has very quickly become my new favourite podcast and I can honestly say that I listen to it every single night. I’m a lit buff to begin with so this already appealed to that, but the host’s voice is so calm and soothing. I actually have delayed sleep phase disorder and usually it takes me an...Read full review »

She soothes and lulls my busy mind to sleep with majestic choices, thank you.
HepatiaK via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 12/17/23
My five year old loves this podcast but will only listen to the book of household management part 10 on repeat. She only wants to hear about the soups. But… it works and for that I am very grateful.
Entiendomasquehablo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/30/23
You’ve arrived at *the* best sleep cast! Spent a lot of time (and sleepless nights) looking for a sleep cast. Some had readers with grating voices and rhythms. Others’ content was painfully boring. Handy’s voice and cadence is superbly soothing - warm, comforting, and gentle. The readings she...Read full review »

Have enjoyed listening, I would love to hear the dictionary read out with no breaks as if reading a list. The list of items needed at a cheese factory gave me the idea! Loved that part.

I have never heard the end of an episode. 100/10

This podcast helps me so much to sleep. Your voice is so soothing to sleep. I love how plain you sound so I don’t have anything to be surprised about. You are my go to every night
Sydviciousbish via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/27/23
Liked it until AI voice took over. Can’t stand it.
TijuanaGenius via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/25/23
I love this podcast because it does two things: 1) It helps me fall to sleep. 2) It helps me fall back to sleep when I wake up in the middle of the night and my brain decides it wants to have a talk.
Miniplen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/23/23
every now and the voice tonality & pacing can throw me off… but overall it’s my go-to sleep podcast. the book choices are great! i fue up the nature, history, and geography ones and i’m smooth sleeping most of the time :)
zck289 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/18/23
Falling asleep can be the hardest part of my day. Sharon Handy has saved my sanity. She has the most boring (and I mean this as the HUGEST compliment ever!), soft, calming voice ever! The Sears catalog, Emily post… I’ve tried lots of podcasts to help me sleep, but BBfB is the very best!

Dchbjcdbwn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/12/23
I know these stories are suppose to be boring but they are also interesting. I usually fall asleep before one is finished so end up listening to the same ones each night until I finish an entire story. Thanks for doing this podcast!!
tnsmkymtns via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/19/23
Listened to about 15 mins but couldn’t stick with it. The dramatic news anchor tone of voice was a bit silly
theungoliant via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/09/23
Such a fantastic podcast, I love your voice (do you put yourself to sleep??) and choice of texts. Thanks so much for helping me sleep.
knokko via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/17/23
Came across BBB searching for help getting to sleep. Listening to Sharon reading Mrs Beatons book of household management worked a treat. Looking forward to more:)
bizzilizzi99 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/17/23
My boyfriend and I love this podcast we listen almost every night to have an easy sleep. Our favorites are the sears catalog readings. I wish there were so many more we listen to those few the most. All of these are amazing, thank you for giving us a piece of calm at the end of the day ❤️
Emaudrey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/10/23
Sharon clearly takes care in the books she chooses, and has a uniquely soothing voice! I look forward to listening every night, and to falling asleep fast!
Kawast via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/24/23
I turn off the lights, get comfy, and set the phone timer to 15 minutes because this terribly dull podcast KNOCKS ME THE FAK OUT. Thank you.
sisi.cham via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/03/23
It’s obvious that you have given a great deal of thought to making this a successful podcast. Your soft, well modulated but not robotic voice shares readings in a healing, restorative manner. And I love your well chosen tooics. Often, I drift off listening to an interesting reading and must...Read full review »

However it’s hard to judge as I have always drifted off to sleep within 10 minutes off having this on!

I thoroughly enjoy this podcast, what I hear of it as it is excellent at sending me to sleep. The subjects are often extremely quirky but some are also very informative as well. I love the host’s voice, extremely calming and I also really enjoy the touch of occasional humour put the podcast notes...Read full review »

There are a lot of sleep podcasts, but this is the only one that works for me. The books chosen are just interesting enough to make me want to listen for a minute, let go, and fall asleep. Too boring and I keep thinking about my day, too interesting and I’m up listening, so it’s a delicate...Read full review »
