“If it’s a bookshelf and reading a book to you, you are supposed to listen through the book right? Then it’s sleepy bookshelf and they have done such a good job and I fall asleep so fast. You gonna admit the irony here and laugh about it! Hahah don’t get me wrong I love this show. Just there goes...”Read full review »

“I used to enjoy listening to this podcast. The host has such a soothing/calming voice. I hadn't listened for a bit & just came back to it. What an unpleasant surprise to find out that there are now extremely loud ads at the beginning. It is a very unpleasant jolt & ruins the...”Read full review »

“It’s so hard to find something to sleep to. I used to listen to Get Sleepy but most of their content is paid. Other podcasts have too many ads or just are designed for sleep. I’ve never made it through an entire episode of this podcast before falling asleep! Love this so much.
Instead of waking...”Read full review »

“Diehard listener, to the point where I downloaded episodes to listen to while I camped in the wilderness, BUT I have to say I am a bit bummed with this new 39 part story.

Elizabeth’s voice is perfect for these stories and I LOVE the unique...”Read full review »

“Loving the story and reading. But the narrator got too carried away when reading Vilette, episode 8 during 43:18, used a much higher pitch and louder voice. That jarred me from my sleep and shook me awake. So here I am, very displeased. I know I am now going to have a tired day ahead. Please...”Read full review »

So far, it’s a world which makes my bed seem a cosy and safe place...”Read full review »

“Sometimes my mind is too busy for falling asleep to mere white noise. This podcast is exactly what I need. It reads stories aloud, so it occupies my mind, but it’s read slowly and gently, which makes me sleepy. I never finish an entire episode before falling asleep. I also like that the narrator...”Read full review »

“Can’t you just read the ads unobtrusively instead of playing the loud commercially produced ads and waking us up, thus defeating the whole ostensible purpose of this podcast?”

“Jolted out of a deep sleep by a loud obnoxious ad that wasn’t there before? You just lost a longtime fan. Adding in loud, annoying ads to a sleep app where there were none before is cruel. No one buys anything from a podcast advertiser that interrupts a sleep app. You could have added quiet ads....”Read full review »
