  • Loud ads

    I love this shoe but I put it on right before I go to sleep and when the ads are so loud it takes me even longer to fall asleep since they spike my heart rate and startle me. Can yall just pick ads that aren’t crazy loud or mix them to be quiet? Thank you!

  • This is my favorite sleep podcast

    I love the sleepy bookshelf and now have premium, but I agree that when I didn’t the ads were so disruptive. I think the host should read the adds but I find premium worth it, I enjoy the bonus books and there are no adds. In general I find this perfect for falling asleep to. And A trick for non-subscribers is to skip the adds and ad the sleep timer.

  • Ads are OUT OF CONTROL

    The ads are EXPLOSIVE, and so loud and disruptive that it destroys this podcast for me. Superior sleep podcast hosts just read the ads themselves. This podcast would be wonderful, but I guess money is more important to this host.

    I have read the reviews and I am surprised that some listeners have found the podcast is not good for sleep due to some scary episodes, but I think that some of the episodes are just better for older and more mature listeners but none of the episodes keep me up because of the stories. So in all of all I think this podcasts is underrated and is very helpful.
