Tonight’s reading comes from Tea, Its history and Mystery. Written by Joseph M Walsh and published in 1892, this story looks at the history of tea.

My name is Teddy and I aim to help people everywhere get a good night’s rest. Sleep is so important and my mission is to help you get the rest you need. The podcast is designed to play in the background while you slowly fall asleep.

For those new to the podcast, it started from my own struggles with sleep. I wanted to create a resource for others facing similar challenges, and I'm so grateful for the amazing community we've built together.

This podcast is self-made and produced, which is why you'll hear a short ad at the beginning of each episode. These ads, along with support from subscribers and patrons, enable me to keep delivering this podcast for free to those who need it.

Thank you to everyone who shared their words of gratitude with me during the week, whether through the website or their podcast app. Your messages mean the world to me.

A special thanks to the new subscribers via Spotify for Podcasters and all existing subscribers and Patreon sponsors. Your monthly subscriptions allow me to continue producing more episodes. Without your support, this wouldn't be possible.

My goal is to keep this podcast free and accessible to everyone. The quick ad you hear at the beginning of each episodes helps generate financial support for the creation of the podcast.

If you find the podcast beneficial and would like to support it, here are a few ways you can contribute:

• The easiest way is to follow the podcast in your app and leave a comment.

• Become a subscriber for $2.99 a month to remove Spotify ads and support episode creation.

• If subscribing isn't possible, an easy way to help is by leaving a review and rating in your podcast app. Even one sentence helps a lot.

To support the show with a monthly contribution, please visit BoreyoutoSleep.com. Patreon is a great way to do this, and if you're on Spotify, you can click "Support this Podcast" in the show notes. It's really easy.

Another wonderful way to show gratitude is by sharing the podcast with someone else who might need it.

If you’d like to say hello to me, you can do so at boreyoutosleep.com, where you can also support the podcast.

In the meantime, lie back, relax and enjoy the readings.

Best regards,

Chris
