Sleepy Time Tales - Bedtime Stories for Sleep and Relaxation

Sleepy Time Tales - Bedtime Stories for Sleep and Relaxation

David Couto

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.

    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.

  • 284 - The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald  Pt 03 – Sleepy Stories of Parties and Scandal

    The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald  Pt 03 – Sleepy Stories of Parties and Scandal

    This week’s bedtime story for all ages picks up with our protagonist at a party at the house of his cousin’s husband’s mistress, and it is every bit as awkward as you expect.

    The story then moves to another party that’s awkward in its own way as he receives an invite to Gatsby’s house and is immersed in the middle of the bright and beautiful young things, where meeting the host is more challenging than expected.

    Stories of music, and excitement are one thing, but they won’t stop you from falling asleep.

  • 283 - The book of the ancient Greeks by Dorothy Mills – Part 06. Athens and the Greek Colonies

    The book of the ancient Greeks by Dorothy Mills – Part 06. Athens and the Greek Colonies

    We pick up in this week’s boring episode with Solon establishing the new rules of what we might call democracy in Athens, the resistance to the new way and the founding of the Greek colonies in Asia Minor.

    It’s a fascinating period of history, but as always I’m confident that the way I’m telling it will see you fast asleep very soon..

  • 282 - Night and Day by Virginia Woolf

    Night and Day by Virginia Woolf

    This is a meditative reading from Viginia Woolf’s classic novel at Katharine Hilbery and her mother are going through the process of compiling the letters and information for the biography of their great ancestor.

    We learn a lot about the family, but I’m sure I won’t keep you awake as we discuss Katheirne’s methods for organising paperwork and keeping her mother in line.

    We learn the shocking information that Katharine has  a talent for mathematics right before the story moves to the activities of Mary Datchet and her flirtations with Ralph Denham.

    This is really a beautifully written book, full of charming characters. But they way I read to you I’m confident you’ll be asleep soon.

    Old Glass and How to Collect it by J. Sydney Lewis

    We return to the popular non-fiction work, Old Glass and How to Collect it by J. Sydney Lewis which is just the recipe to help you sleep.

    We pick up learning about the glass produced in Ireland, the taxes and levies that wiped out the Irish glass industry, then move on to learning about novelty glasses, including popular yard glasses, which you can still find in certain pubs.
