Sleepy Time Tales - Bedtime Stories for Sleep and Relaxation

It’s been a while since an original bedtime story and even longer since we met up with Buddy. He’s gotten older though and the memories of his younger adventures are fading. Will he reconnect with the events or will they fade away?

Before she wrote Frankenstein, Mary Shelley wrote The Last Man. It’s a potentially interesting story, but you’ll be asleep before anything exciting happens

Listener Survey

 

 

The last few weeks has seen a huge growth in the audience, and the last few weeks have seen Sleepy Time Tales use a different than normal format, so I’d like to hear from listeners new and older about the sort of stories they like. Do people prefer original stories like ‘Buddy’ ‘Southcliffe’ and ‘Mutewallow?’ or do people like classic readings, or a mix.

 

Please hit up https://survey.sleepytimetales.net to respond. The survey is 3 questions and should take under a minute.

The seminal work of history and anthropology by Sir James George Frazer was controversial even in its day.

 

Will this scholarly tome and its comparison of religion and myths from various regions be enough to prevent sleep? Even in my droning voice? I very much doubt this.

Tonight’s story to help you sleep is from a work by Robert William Chambers. A fascinating bedtime story, but slumber will still come.

 

A zookeeper hears of the discovery of a creature long thought extinct, a great bird. But his journey leads him to something even stranger in the wilds of the Atlantic coast.

 

 

As I work in the hospitality industry the next few weeks are going to be very busy for me. I won’t be able to do much researching and writing, but I won’t leave you restless. I will have a selection of cold readings for your insomnia cures every week, right on schedule.

Tonight’s story to help you sleep is from a work by Charles Garvice.

 

 

A rough Australian mining town in the 19th Century is a strange place for a young girl. But when a baby is found by the mailman the whole town adopts the child and takes good care of her as she grows into a wilful young woman.

Of sleep, psychics and scoundrels

The paraphernalia of the fortune teller? Are some for real? Maybe, but many are charlatans.

Sleep comes when the mind is unstressed, so let's wash away the tension with a bedtime story, told in a way that won't keep you too focused.

Believe what you will about psychics and faith healers, many are not what they seem. But will you find sleep comes for you during the story of what happens to Professor Mortikali as he does some palm and tarot readings. Before getting a visit from a mysterious stranger who turns out to be all too familiar

From ‘The Swampers’ by Hume Nisbet
