As a child, my parents never read a single bedtime story for me or any of my siblings. Aesop’s fables were always my favorite since I learned reading. Late in my twenties, my then fiance used to tell me stories about Greek mythology and that was so soothing I would easily fall asleep. We parted ways and I missed those days until I found your channel. Thank you, Thomas. This story about appreciation aligns with my current quest about learning to be happy 😊

My anxiety has me all upset. This channel helps me not to feel so alone.

Ive listened to this at least 4 times and i never remember what the story actually is. Im usually asleep in ten minutes. I suffer depression and anxiety and i don't sleep unless i have youtube for a story. So this means a lot ❤

[camerondagg]

I accidentally pressed something and this came on. Awesome.

I'm pregnant at the moment and I seem to be suffering from pregnancy induced insomnia. So these videos have been really helpful. So thank you so much.

I love that I will never know how this story ends ❤

I’m so excited to go to sleep tonight lol


Edit: it’s now 6:30am and as usual, I went fast to sleep while listening to your voice & story, so I don’t know what happened lol. Listening to the rest now as I make coffee.
Thank you for providing a comfortable, cozy place to go on the internet.

I have suffered insomnia for four years. I have seen three Drs tried prescription medications herbal supplements relaxation techniques nothing has helped. Listening to this worked first time. I now listen to this every night. Unless you are getting three hours a night you will never know how wonderful this sleep story is. I strongly recommend this to anyone struggling with insomnia. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I put this on for my cat who passed today. Thank you for helping him have a peaceful transition and talking him over the rainbow bridge.❤

[johnjulianford]

Listened to this every night this week. Noooo idea how it Thanks .

Thomas, your voice is the best story telling voice ever. You always send me off to sleep in a matter of minutes, so it takes ages for me to actually hear the entire story 😂

[FEPhilosophy]

I've watched this video 6 times so far and I always fall asleep before the story starts 😅

I've just discovered this channel. Was just given a poor health diagnosis - this helps me calm my mind and ailing body. Thank you, Thomas, for sharing your soothing voice and peacefully helping others reclaim their rest.
God Bless. 💙🩵

I couldnt sleep one night, found this app in a simple search, put in my earbuds, and listened to a smooth soothing narrator's distinct voice, basically reading a bedtime story to me as I fell into my dreams.. I recommend this app for people who wanna chill out at the end of the day- its magnificent!

[mariaj.machado]

Well Thomas I am the odd one around because I listen to your stories during the day because your voice makes me feel relaxed and I want to hear the whole beautiful stories

[sarahhassard]

I have insomnia and I'm usually awake most of the night. I listen to this story for the 1st time and was asleep within the 1st 10 minutes. Haven't a clue what the story was about but I've had my 1st good night sleep in which seems ages. I'll be listening to this again tonight. Thank you so much. ❤

[AlishaRoseWilson]

This is the *best* sleepy-time narration I've experienced on YouTube. Like many others here, I struggle with insomnia, but I hardly make it 10 mins before consciousness fades while listening to this. It must be my 6th time listening. Literally nothing has worked so consistently for my insomnia. Thank you for this.

Sleeping aside, this story is beautiful. The level of compassion of the towns people towards helping the astronomer see how much wonder and beauty there is down below as there is up above is so inspiring.
