Tonight’s reading comes from Dreams of an Astronomer. Written by Camille Flammarion and published in 1923, it’s interesting to see how much we have learnt about astronomy through the history of human existence.

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 support is invaluable.

I also want to thank listeners who reached out via the website. Your lovely messages and feedback are so appreciated:

• Thank you for your long-time support and kind message.

• Thank you for your expressions of thanks.

• Thank you for your lovely words and feedback.

My goal is to keep this podcast free and accessible to everyone. This is why you'll hear a quick ad from Spotify at the beginning of each episode. It helps generate financial support for the creation of the podcast. Support from listeners via Patreon and Spotify also plays a crucial role.

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

• 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.
