Sleep patterns before: 20 - 60 minutes to fall asleep. 2-6 wake-ups during the night. Average of 5-6 hours restless sleep. Since using Dan's stories: 5 - 10 minutes to fall asleep! 1-2 wake-ups during the night. Average of 7-8 hours of quality sleep. Increase in quality of life: immense.
Probably the finest good night's relaxing sleep I've ever had. And when I do awake it holds the interest as if the tale hadn't been interrupted by sleep.. Many thanks.
Dan, I want to thank you for these bedtime stories. 6 years ago I had two traumatic experiences back-to-back that caused me great anxiety and insomnia. After trying many things I discovered your videos and they’re the only thing that helped. I’ve been doing great for years and I still listen to these stories occasionally, but I never thanked you for getting me through that period of my life. Keep up the amazing work!
I've not been anywhere... I've continued to post videos on this channel once or twice per week (the usual weekly sleep story every Tuesday and occasionally videos on Friday's and over October, obviously for Halloween you had the additional stories for Halloween, all of which I premiered so that I could chat with you all while they aired).
At some point I might record me reading the stories from my second book of children's healing stories. Like the first book, there are 11 stories, all with the same characters, so there is a second story with Sid the time-travelling worm. The 'Sid' story in the second book is 'The Early Worm Catches the Bird'...
Thank you so much. I love when you do compilations as I can start them when I go to bed and sleep all night. If I wake up, I am quickly lulled back to sleep. Of course that means I seldom hear all of a story but If my curiosity is tweaked I can go back and catch the original posting when I am more awake
Sir. could you please do an 9 or 10 hour serious of Winter stories maybe with some snow fall sound. would appreciate it so very much. Love the thought of snow, Cabins , etc. helps me sleep
That would be difficult to intentionally do. I usually make compilations of just the most recent videos, so unless they are 2nd person stories, they are of different types of people, children (boys and girls), adults, different personalities, autistic, non-autistic, LGBTQ+, visually impaired, sighted, physically impaired, not physically impaired, larger, slimmer etc... I also have compilations of specific types of stories like he/she/they, different themes, etc... But generally every story is very different and so the main compilations are very varied stories, but I've been doing more 2nd person stories lately as that is what most people want me to post...
With that picture I fully expected one of your cat stories Dan😂😂 what a super little pic. Thanks again for another compilation. Is it on Patreon? Because I joined it a month or so ago to support you but my kindle fire doesn't like it very much and hides all the useful menu buttons 😒 Take care, don't work too hard young man! X
All of the stories in this compilation are on Patreon, obviously on Patreon there are all of the Patreon exclusive stories and stories yet to come on my RUclips channel which I've shared on Patreon and will share here on RUclips in the future. I don't have a Kindle and so can't see what the experience is like using Patreon with Kindle. But it is frustrating if on Kindle you can't search Patreon or see the tags to quickly find sleep stories or Patreon exclusives etc... Thank you for supporting me on Patreon...
@@DanJonesHypnosis no problem Dan - it's no more than you deserve for the work you put in, and the rewards we all reap from that work in terms of improved lives because of improved sleep 😊
I was a very early adopter of eReaders, buying the first Sony eReader (which I think was one of the first eReaders available) for about £600. During the 1990's and early 2000's I kept telling everyone that there will be a time when books come on electronic paper where you can hold hundreds of books on a single device and read it from a screen that looks like reading from paper and it will allow you to carry around a lot of your book collection and allow you to easily find information from the books you have on the device and you will probably be able to buy books as digital items to go straight onto the device, and it will be so convenient... People used to tell me I was stupid, nothing could replace the feel of holding a book (which is true), and so people wouldn't be interested in something like that. I was told by people that what I was describing was such an odd sounding device, carrying around something like a solid sheet of paper that shows pages from a book and has lots of books on it etc... So once they finally came out as products I bought one because I thought I had gone on about how this would happen for so many years I should at least invest in what I felt would be a big part of the future. The same with digital music. In the late 1990's when I had learned about the internet for the first time and then got dial-up internet at home and learned about mp3 players (which at the time cost about £250 for an mp3 player that could only hold a single albums worth of music). I started going on about how in the future there will be websites selling music which you can copy to your computer and put straight onto an mp3 player and that mp3 players will get cheaper and have more storage. I tried to get people to invest and support me in setting up a company in about 1998 called something like online-records.com where I wanted to get bands etc to sign up under the online records label to have their music available to buy as downloadable mp3's, then the public could visit that site, chose music they would like to buy and download it to their computer straightaway, no having to go to a shop and hope they have the CD or cassette tape you are after. I wrote out the contract I would issue artists. One requirement was that they would have to have at least 10 original songs to place on the site under their band/artist name. I tried to get people interested. I knew nothing of website development, so tried to find a web developer. I was 20 at the time and had no money, so was trying to get people to come on board for free for a share of the profits etc. Everyone around me told me I was crazy, it would never catch on. Why would someone buy digital music when you can only have one album's worth of music on an mp3 player and the mp3 players cost more than 10x the cost of a portable CD player, and with a CD player, you have the convenience of being able to swap the CD's over, whereas with an mp3 player, you can only listen to the one album, then if you want to listen to another, you have to go home and copy a different album onto your mp3 player, and to get the album to the mp3 player, you have to copy the CD to the computer, which means you also have to type in the details of each song and the album title etc, then wait ages for it to copy to the computer, then wait ages for these files to copy to the mp3 player, and people said, they also can't listen to the music at home on their stereo systems. I explained that I believe things will improve, that mp3 players will get cheaper and have more storage and that once this happens people will want to buy downloadable music, because it will be quicker and more convenient. I had drawn what the website would look like and written basic contracts I would issue artists etc and think I still have some of this somewhere. I never managed to get anyone interested. My best friend (who unfortunately passed away last year) always said that one of his regrets is not taking me seriously and believing in what I was saying when I was trying to get his help, because his uncle was a website designer... Especially when sites started appearing, offering downloadable music, like Napster and then later, things like iTunes. Again, out of buying in to what I believed the future would be, when the first (that I became aware of) large capacity mp3 player came on the market, which was a Nomad Jukebox with a 6GB spinning hard disk CD player sized device with a battery life of about 3 hours, I bought it (and still have it). It was about the price mp3 players had been a couple of years earlier, but it had enough storage space for all of my music. This is something I often do, where I believe something will be the future and so buy in early when it appears. In January I will be celebrating 15 years of doing RUclips. But even before RUclips I believed in a lot of this digital stuff. Although I didn't manage to get a record label website off the ground, in 2003 when 3G came out, my best friend got a job with 3, the mobile phone company and so had a 3G phone, which promised fast internet on the go. I thought that this would be a big thing, so I created a website where you could download short meditation mp3's (obviously created by me) to listen to during your commute to or from work (that was the main purpose and marketing I focused on), or at times you just want to relax and meditate for perhaps 15-20 minutes. The files had to be small because at the time I think the data plans had something like a 1MB cap per download. But streaming was unlimited, so Graham and myself started doing live webinars using his mobile internet, where we would teach live, taking questions from viewers, etc. Again, I thought that this kind of thing would be the future, that people would be interacting live with people all over the world, where the person could be teaching stuff in person in one location, while also having people watching and engaging from around the world. We met up weekly to run our PsyEnTech (Psychological Enhancement Technologies) livestreams (I hadn't heard the term webinar at that point so we just spoke about teaching live over the internet). By about 2004 I had added hundreds of different downloadable self-help and meditation tracks to my website, as well as PDF eBooks I had written about mental health, hypnosis and hypnotic sales skills and downloadable educational videos etc and was selling a Hypnotherapy Training CD-Rom on eBay which contained a hypnotherapy training audio course I had put together of over 100 hours of lectures and demonstrations. I felt that this is what people would be doing in the future, although at the time I started, the technology wasn't working so well, with things like, expensive eReaders/MP3 players, only able to download under 1MB of data per download to a mobile device, dial-up internet being pretty much the only option people had at home for internet. I didn't have internet at home at this point (I had internet in the late 1990's while living with someone, but when we separated I didn't have the internet again until about 2008 and so had to go to the library to use their internet, or stream with my best friends mobile phone). By 2005 I was posting some of my videos to Google Video and MySpace (Google Video allowed long videos, MySpace had a 20 minute limit) and then RUclips in 2007 (which had a 10 minute limit) where I posted shorter videos, had to split self-hypnosis and meditations up across 3 videos usually and so focused mainly on making very short 'quick tips' type of videos, or what would now be termed vlogging, where I would share clips of me walking around places just chatting to camera, and occasional unboxing videos (all these things, people seemed to think were odd back then, but now they are common place for people on RUclips. All of this waffle off the back of responding to a comment about Kindle eReaders!... :)
Because this video is from 2021 and so only gets about 600 views a month now and very few people comment or engage with my videos, so with views dropping off over time as people listen to my more recent videos, so do comments.

Thank you for sharing... It is good that your sleep has improved and the effects of this on quality of life...
Probably the finest good night's relaxing sleep I've ever had. And when I do awake it holds the interest as if the tale hadn't been interrupted by sleep.. Many thanks.
I'm glad that this was helpful...
Thanks 😊
No commercials ❣👌🇨🇦
Thank you 😊
I really appreciate the long ones
Dan, I want to thank you for these bedtime stories. 6 years ago I had two traumatic experiences back-to-back that caused me great anxiety and insomnia.

I’ve been doing great for years and I still listen to these stories occasionally, but I never thanked you for getting me through that period of my life. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you. I'm glad that the stories have been helpful...
thanks so much!
This is the best thing that could’ve happened for my broken sleep pattern! thank you! I have Listened to others and this composition is most helpful-
I couldn't agree more.
Dan, I've missed you, and just wanted to thank you!
I've not been anywhere... I've continued to post videos on this channel once or twice per week (the usual weekly sleep story every Tuesday and occasionally videos on Friday's and over October, obviously for Halloween you had the additional stories for Halloween, all of which I premiered so that I could chat with you all while they aired).
I'm starting to understand the value in this
I'm on patreon with you but I keep falling back on these utube stories ❤
Dan,I enjoyed listening to the stories for children.Sid the worm is awesome☺❤
Oh, I love the kids stories

@@DanJonesHypnosis it's gonna be awesome!!!Looking forward to listening more of Sid❤❤❤I feel like I'm 7 years old all over again.
Had a stomach ache and felt not good. Couldn't sleep. But with the this I could. Took my mind off things.
I don't think I got 10 minutes in before I was out cold. thank you!
Thank you so much. I love when you do compilations as I can start them when I go to bed and sleep all night. If I wake up, I am quickly lulled back to sleep. Of course that means I seldom hear all of a story but If my curiosity is tweaked I can go back and catch the original posting when I am more awake
Mood
I like the long stories as I wake up several times a night. This would be ideal if there was some background music or sounds
No. No music
I always LOVE these videos so so much.
They have me falling asleep much easier than sleep meds. ( tho I still rely on those most nights)
I always thought the thumbnail for this was an old man. It's a freaking cat!! I love it! 🤣🤣
Thank You for All of your hard work ! This is so very Soothing 👌🏽
Sir. could you please do an 9 or 10 hour serious of Winter stories maybe with some snow fall sound. would appreciate it so very much. Love the thought of snow, Cabins , etc. helps me sleep
Thanks mucho Dan💕🙋🏻🐕
Need this, had full day of work then came home to a house full of kids
I love the thumbnail 😂
Lol! It looked kinda weird then I noticed it was a cat.
"Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur! Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr purr purr!"
@@DanJonesHypnosis Ohhh, I see. 💜
I have a suggestion: can you make a collection of stories of different types of people, different ages, sizes, personality?
That would be difficult to intentionally do. I usually make compilations of just the most recent videos, so unless they are 2nd person stories, they are of different types of people, children (boys and girls), adults, different personalities, autistic, non-autistic, LGBTQ+, visually impaired, sighted, physically impaired, not physically impaired, larger, slimmer etc...
I also have compilations of specific types of stories like he/she/they, different themes, etc...
But generally every story is very different and so the main compilations are very varied stories, but I've been doing more 2nd person stories lately as that is what most people want me to post...
I have insomnia and this claim me and it put to sleep abot 3hr but like the story thank you
Love
More bed time stories for adults

Not loud enough over CPAP and oxygen🥺
Why most comments are from 2 YRS AGO??
Because this video is from 2021 and so only gets about 600 views a month now and very few people comment or engage with my videos, so with views dropping off over time as people listen to my more recent videos, so do comments.
Sorry not for me bored to sleep not something you can actually get into to shut off other thaughts not gripping for me
Boring, boring story- didn’t work for me 3 minutes was enough
