I think I've said it before, but adding your sleep stories to my routine has helped me have much better sleep on a regular basis. And if I wake up in the night I just put it on to listen again and get back to sleep. Thank you for your mission driven work, Michelle!
I'm so glad that these are helping-- I remember when I discovered sleep meditations and stories. I always used to wake in the middle of the night and listening helped fix my sleep issues.
Hi Michelle I love how you say goodnight at the end of all your stories and i also love how the leftovers were donated to the old folks bingo night. My very first sleep story was called "Nightfall" which was read by Eva Green, it used to be on youtube in full but can only be found on her facebook page now if you google it and as it is an edit, the sound is not as soft as it was on the youtube recording. When i first heard it, i thought it was the most beautiful thing i had ever heard. But you have overtaken that thought with your stories. You bring such a sense of community that i feel was last felt, here in England, back in the 80s when i was a teenager. Love you ❤.
How sweet!! Michelle Sanctuary is my favorite, I listen to others, but no one soothes like Michelle, that's for sure!! A voice of angel here on 🌎 earth is what I always say😊 I listened 🎶 to the 3 hr rainy 🌧 series with the cotswold love it ❤😊😊goodnight ✨️ ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️💤💤💤 everyone sweet peaceful sleep from California
Oh I'm so glad you liked that detail. I want to keep those feelings and thoughts about community and kindness in the forefront of some of these stories. I'll have to check out Nightfall.
Michelle, I am so looking forward to this episode ! it would really be nice if you could intertwine this with cozy Launderette series because I love the episodes where you have many human characters coming together bonding in a very cozy environment ! in today’s times human touch is getting more and more extinct with the modern complexities of the world. Hence this is a soothing touch. I listen to your stories every night and this is the only way I can sleep. Thank you so much. I have been in so much pain for past eight years due to a deep loss and trauma and not getting enough sleep. You are an angel !
I'm so sorry that you have been struggling with pain-- and hope that you continue to feel supported by me and my work. I completely agree, and it's why I began creating this characters and character-driven narratives. I believe deep down that they simply required more searching than community once did-- and the more we believe and imagine its existence, the more it may come back. And the more we realize how much we have in common (even possible in the Launderette where every character has such a different background). I've been so blessed to experience this firsthand over time.
Happy tears as I hear about the connections between our dream story worlds. I love this so much. If you ever want to go west coast San Francisco, the market, the bridge, sea lions gathered at fisherman’s wharf with the imported and rebuilt double decker carrousel; while surrounded by the sour dough bakery, Ghirardellichocolates and dog friendly cafes, bookstores and ocean beach walks… was once so magical that for decades movies and music were written about it. I miss home but it’s not the same happy carefree magic out there anymore.
I am so looking forward to bedtime and listening to this story .Thank you so much Michelle for making Sundays so special .love gratitude and many blessings ❤🙏
I’m so glad that this makes Sundays special. When I was a kid I was so stressed every Sunday- I thought it is the best day to release stories to set the tone for the week.
As a New Englander, I have been to that Oceanside town, known as Newport RI. I could visualize Melodies bakery and its ambiance in that particularly charming location. Loved her voice. First time listener, appreciated the real Time visuals and sounds.. I listen to Stephen Daltons Sleep Stories as well.His are pure fantasy. Love both styles! Michelle’s voice is soothing and beautiful, her words aptly describe in avid detail everything in the story!❤
Thank you so much-- yes, it was indeed inspired by that beautiful town. Thank you for your feedback and presence! I'm so glad you're here and enjoyed this trip to New England.
As the stars twinkle above, may everyone's dreams be filled with joy and adventure. Goodnight, and may everyone awaken refreshed and ready to conquer a new day 😊✨💕🌟😴💤
Omg Michelle! This is my perfect dream story! The laundry club are hopefully meeting Martha Ike! I feel like all of my Christmases have came at once!! 💞💞💞
You've done it it again Michelle! You have such a great storytelling gift! I'm also the daughter of a baker, so a bakery centered story is very cozy and cute to me :)
Oooohh, I'm so excited. My home state being featured in this delightful story! I just can't wait until bedtime tonight to listen to this delectable treat. I know I'm going to love ❤ this one Michelle. Thank you 😊.
I love all your stories, but this has to be one of my favorites. I come back to it time and time again. 💜 You bring so much comfort. I've always visited places like this in my imagination, as a child and as an adult, recovering from trauma. I am fascinated by how vividly you bring such beautiful, safe, heart-filled visions to life. What a gift you have.❤️
I really appreciate your kind words. It's exactly the kind of experience I hope to create every time I sit down and right. I think storytelling can have transformative powers when it comes to making us feel safe and working through trauma. So glad you are here.
I'm very grateful for the life changing discovery of your videos. Ive lost count of how many years I've been listening along. I think the first video I listened to was a rainforest one that had a tree house near a waterfall in it. I remember the feeling of waking up for the first time after sleeping for more than 2 hours in one go. I had been suffering for years, missing out on sleep and living with chronic pain, trying to get help. On my hardest days I would listen to every video you had available and feel that at least I had rested if I hadn't managed to sleep. Fast forward about 15 years and I feel part of a community of listeners who support each other. You always welcome and support those who comment about having a hard day/night and there are many other beautiful souls who listen along and leave replies as well. I get more sleep now. I have even developed a habit of listening to your videos when I'm awake and need a break. Most of the time i have less pain. I think I will be listening to your videos for the rest of my life. There are so many now that I think it would take me alot longer to listen to them one after another like I used to. Thankyou for all the sleep and rest you have given me. Blessings, Dot
Thank you so much for this Dot-- your kind presence is felt and so much appreciated! I know how much it seemed idealistic when I started this sanctuary and wanted to bring healing and the power to dream away to as many people I could. But really, helping one person is more than enough and I am so grateful to be part of your journey.
I'm so glad it conjures those memories! I had a friend as a child who's family owned a little restaurant/bakery and it was the most amazing experience s a kid to be able and go pick out anything to enjoy. Have a lovely week!
You did it again Michelle what a great story what a lovely guest house ,Melody doesn't only bake sweets ,she is just a sweetheart herself. I will definitely be listening again !! 👏 Bravo 👏 p.s I love all the background pictures, too😊 with the snow ❄️ falling
Ooh I met the whole family now that was such a fun story . I love baking so this made me feel right at home thank you for another fun cross over I enjoy the references. ❤
Oh my goodness I can't wait till bedtime, this sounds fantastic, especially because coming into your story world is the closest for us in the south of England are going to get to snow this winter 😂, much love as always Michelle and thank you 🙏💞💕
Mmmmm 🎂 cake😊 i remember going to a bakery in upstate New York and buying cream puffs to take to my grandpa Bill my dad's dad in the convalescent/ rehabilitation home man did he love them 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Those simple pleasures can make people so happy and feel cared for. I made a s’mores pie this weekend for my partner’s birthday and got to use a kitchen torch for the first time. He was so happy to watch me make it and eat it the last few days.
Let the gentle lullaby of the night soothe everyone's weary souls. Embrace the darkness, for it holds the promise of a brighter tomorrow. Sweet dreams. 😴💤😴💤😴
I am from lebanon...this merciless army are on our borders tonight ...I am an empath & i have seen what they are capable of.. Plz world help us be safe & not witness their barbarism...i can't see ppl suffering infront of me..
Sending all the love out there I can-- it's so incredibly hard in times we feel so helpless. My heart aches, the only solution I ever seem to find is being the change I want to see. I am sorry for your hurt, for the needless hurt of any soul... but it's why I do my best to create some safe place to come and rest.
Could I please make a story suggestion sailing along the river Amstel as a sleep meditation kind regards from Gary listening from Chesterfield Derbyshire England
@MichellesSanctuary yes please send if you would like to you can mention my name thank you for everyone of the absolutely sensationally beautiful sleep stories 😴 I will recommend your channel to more of my friends
If I walk into a bakery and it’s a really good one which is immediately noticed by the aroma of the mixtures of butter, flour, sugar then I’m not walking out without buying probably more then one thing (stop reading if you are triggered by food ) . I’m a sucker for confections and a sugar freak who lives for carbs. Hmmm, I’m thinking of dark chocolate covered layered chocolate mouse and ny cheese cake you know a decadent combination along with really buttery lemon bars in confectionary sugar or blondie brownies and a loaf of French bread maybe a few jelly filled cookies with jam in the middle and custard cups or wait, Italian pastries. But how am I going to sleep after all if this……zzzzz I’ll sleep Sorry if I triggered anyone I just find so much joy in these things even if it’s just in my fantasy. These days I have to force myself to see the blessings in life. I have joyful memories of bakeries which helps me remember I have lots of joyful memories and I can create more. Have a cruller on me it’s calorie free if it’s just in your imagination
I'm in love with all of these-- I hope you'll sleep. I think I often think about fresh baked cookies on snow days when I would play outside until so beat that a cookie and a nap would accompany the afternoon. I know some people may need to avoid this for the mere mention of food-- but you're right-- it's all calorie free in the imagination.
@@MichellesSanctuary I used to frequent a cute antique shop that had loads of country French stuff that we love it was next door to a bakery. While going through this rather large store I couldn’t help but crave whatever was baking next door.I asked the owner of antique store how he handled constantly smelling all that goodness and he told me he got used to it and no longer smelled it. How impossible was that I can still smell it. I find food an aspect of love in some primordial way. As the song goes “food glorious food” from Oliver. I have an aunt who baked the best chocolate chip cookies and a few late aunts who made the best NY cheesecake with graham cracker crust topped with cherries or strawberries I can still taste it and smell its delightful aroma. Residual from covid is my sense of taste and smell is very damped I do hope it’s temporary or I’ll be most unhappy. I’m eating Tates oatmeal Raisin cookies and all I can taste is the sensation of sweet. No umami. But in my imagination I can experience it all and it’s just glorious

What a lovely sentiment-- sweet dreams!
This is my favourite sleep story would love more like this or a continuation of this one x
Okay! Will keep this in mind!
I can’t sleep without your stories for over 2 years now and look forward to new ones every Sunday! 💕
So glad you've been part of this sanctuary for so long!
Omg Michelle! This is my perfect dream story! The laundry club are hopefully meeting Martha Ike! I feel like all of my Christmases have came at once!! 💞💞💞
I love the laundry club as well. It is my favorite series.
I am slowly finding ways to connect them all and give us the change to time hop and sense the enduring connections that were formed there.
You've done it it again Michelle! You have such a great storytelling gift! I'm also the daughter of a baker, so a bakery centered story is very cozy and cute to me :)
Oh I love that it had such a personal connection! So glad this story resonated and I certainly hope to write more about this shop.
Oooohh, I'm so excited. My home state being featured in this delightful story! I just can't wait until bedtime tonight to listen to this delectable treat. I know I'm going to love ❤ this one Michelle. Thank you 😊.
I hope this story does it justice- such a beautiful place!

Love your meditations, but as a Rhode Islander, Love that the Bakery is set in Rhode Island 😊
I’m so glad- I had a trip to Rhode Island years ago that still stays with me and I thought it would be the perfect setting.
I may need a snack before bedtime with these yummy treats so well described 😂😊
😂 I thought the same thing! ❤
Haha! Oops! Hope you enjoyed this sweet escape 💜
@@MichellesSanctuary I did! ☺️
I love how you tied this story into other beloved stories from the past😊
Glad you enjoyed it! 💜
Can't wait to here this cozy story, reminds me of my childhood when I go to the bakery store. Thanks Michelle, love you.❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm so glad it conjures those memories! I had a friend as a child who's family owned a little restaurant/bakery and it was the most amazing experience s a kid to be able and go pick out anything to enjoy. Have a lovely week!
I absolutely love how you tied so many of the stories together. Thank you again.
I'm so glad you enjoy it-- I always feel happy when given the chance to revisit these old friends and conjure new adventures with them.
I love how you connected this story to the brownstone launderette stories and the Martha and Ike lake stories. 💖💕
I'm so glad you appreciate it-- love these characters so much it was nice to tie them together!
@@MichellesSanctuary It’s a special gift for your most dedicated listeners.
You did it again Michelle what a great story what a lovely guest house ,Melody doesn't only bake sweets ,she is just a sweetheart herself. I will definitely be listening again !! 👏 Bravo 👏 p.s I love all the background pictures, too😊 with the snow ❄️ falling

Sweet dreams!
I keep checking to see if this is live yet. Can’t wait!❤️

I WILL NOT fall asleep before the end of this story! That’s what I’m telling myself anyway. I think bedtime might be earlier for this one 😊
