    What person wants to fall asleep hearing a story about female sex slaves? Not a normal person who cares about the quality of their sleep. And certainly not a woman who is trying to have a peaceful sleep with peaceful dreams. I am so sick of men and their inconsideration. You ruined my sleep plan and you’re boycotted for being dumb af.

  • Volume difference

    I want to love this. The actual stories are good, but when the ads are read I cannot get past the JARRING volume difference. After listening to the stories, it is quite unpleasant. Rather than purchasing, I end up walking away. It is too much of a sensory overload.

  • Better than Benadryl

    I rarely get to hear more than a few minutes of the story - Otis’ voice combined with old stories lulls me to sleep every time. I’ve tried other sleep stories and Sleepy is the best of them all in my opinion.
