  • Sleep at Last!

    I started listening to this podcast on and off in 2021 and now listen almost every night! I honestly never get through the whole episode because it puts me to sleep that quickly lol! I would however like to request an infertility based episode! I have been TTC for 4 years now and often have a lot of stress and anxiety that stems from it, that causes insomnia. An episode dedicated to this topic would be AMAZING!

    hello, i am (ANONYMOUS), 12 years old. I love your meditations, they actually help my brain to be quiet and stop giving me racing thoughts. i recommend you make a hurt/comfort type bedtime story where someone is depressed and someone else comes over to comfort them, because I think that’ll be the kind of thing to make me feel snug.

  • Highly Recommend

    I have always struggled to switch my brain off when it’s time to go to sleep but since discovering this podcast around a year ago, falling asleep is no longer something I have to worry about! Karissa’s voice is so relaxing that I have still yet to hear the end of an episode! 100% recommend this Podcast.

  • So worth it!

    I’ve been listening to SleepWave for about 60 days now. I haven’t heard the end of a single episode and I couldn’t be happier about it!
