I listen every night and never make it to the end of the story- have to fast forward the next time to catch up where I left off 😂 so I’d say IT WORKS. The Hercules one was my fave

Audible5cdickinsonUnited States2 months ago- The Best Podcast Ever
I just wanna start by saying, there are nights where I can’t get to sleep without this podcast.

One of the only sleep hacks I’ve tried that’s actually made me feel sleepy. I used this podcast when I had a bout of insomnia and I fell asleep quite quickly & slept both deeper and longer.

I’ve been listening to Sleepy for quite some years now, and throughout a particularly scary life threatening experience in hospital Otis’ voice as like a calm island in a stormy sea of fear and stress. Not only does the show help me get to sleep, but this podcast is also a life raft in difficult times. Forever thankful 🧡
