You make me want to see Ireland sounds breathtaking. Keep this channel alive please. Cant see how u dont have millions of listeners.gonna have to pass you around the old campfire.😊
I definitely found it worth my time spent there. I joined a group in the Dublin area. Loved the people and sensed/felt some strange and beautiful energy in the countryside. Just a bit sad that I never got round to going back again. To see and feel Cork where my dad was born and grew up. I love these stories and Stephen has such a calm and gentle voice ❤
I've recently discovered your channel and added it to the list of channels I listen to to distract myself from the daily health challenges I face. I am learning to give myself permission to use "distraction on purpose" as a management tool. I am diagnosed with a list of chronic mental and physical health challenges including bipolar spectrum disorder, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue syndrome and TMJD (affects my jaw joints and nerves). Basically I live with 24/7 pain and discomfort, extreme tiredness and I am almost always depressed even when my bipolar is controlled by medicine (it blunts the extremes most of the time). The distractions I use to shift my focus from the negative spiral (of pain, fatigue and depression) and onto what I am able to do for myself to heal/help include RUclips videos of audiobooks, music/ambience, sleep stories, hypnosis, meditation, visualisation and other relaxation techniques that use my imagination to help me escape for a little while. I also use tools such as audiobooks, DVDs, cds, books, paper puzzles like crosswords and sudoko, jigsaw puzzles, colouring in, journalling, writing short stories, creating art or crafty stuff like crochet, beaded jewellery and diamond/Dot paintings. My motto has become "I will focus on what I am able to do". Even if it's laying in bed and using my imagination to escape the moment. I think the repetitive thoughts and do the actions that help, heal or move me forward. I am careful to make time to have fun, to rest, to do nothing for a few moments but breathe and observe myself. I hope this comment will inspire some of those who can't sleep or who face challenges (physical, mental, etc) to think of the thoughts and actions that lead them into the best sleep and health of their lives. As I get busy doing the things that help me to feel positive or useful in my daily life then the negative/hurtful/harmful things like pain, tiredness, depression, worry, frustration, guilt, etc take up less of the time and energy I have. I actually manage to sleep more than 2 hours in a 24 hour period now. At my worst I was awake between 20 and 23 hours a day and what little sleep I had was broken into 15 or 20 minutes at a time because pain would intensify and wake me. I've lived with constant pain since 1999 as a result of an accident. I say all this because I want to give hope to those who read my comment and who suffer any challenges: things will change, celebrate the tiniest of wins/gains towards relaxing/sleeping/resting as they add up to make progress. It's an invisible war that we fight so encourage yourself and others and give yourself the loving kindness of compassion. Take my comment as a virtual hug or hand on your shoulder or handshake. Well done for doing what you can. Blessings from South Eastern Australia, Dot
😢❤Many thanks Dot, same for you too, not alone 🙏🫂👍👋🕊️glad for the all things that help, God bless you, thanks for all the kind tips and suggestions, kind thoughts, prayers, wishes ❤
You're a trooper Dot, I know what it's like to struggle on a couple of hours' sleep for days or weeks and it makes every muscle in my body tighten painfully! Wishing you rest, your positive mindset is so inspiring 😊 Keep up the good fight 😘
God bless you❤ i thought i was reading my life while reading you😢 ....thanks to this vidéo i managed to sleep 1 hour🎉🎉🎉🎉with my cat sleeping on my feet❤❤❤ All the best to you. I know how tough it is😢😢❤
Every night for the past months I woke up at around 3 am and stay awake for hours.. by the time I wake up for work I am too exhausted. Tried listening to this for 2 consecutive nights and I am amazed 🙏😃
I have tried looking up for people causes and it ranges from spiritual down to health . I honestly don't know what to believe , yes the sleeping sounds help but i would like to know how i ended up here in the first place . 3 am sharp everyday !
I just had to go back to listen to this one again. The wave sounds are awesome in this story. You've improved and this channel has grown so much in a year. I'm excited about that 100,000 subscribers that I know is coming soon. I think we should all have a party to celebrate 🍾 that day. 🤔 We can call it 🌎 World Wide Stephen Dalton day!!!.😊
Stephen, I just wanted you to know what a gift your podcasts have been to my life. I'm not even sure if I've ever listened to a full episode😆 but I'm sleeping great and if I wake up and can't turn my mind off, your soothing voice helps me to drift back off to sleep. Thank you! PS my favorite part is when you get us settled in and relaxed. It reminds me how blessed I am and makes me feel present in my mind and body.💗
Beautiful, I love the sound of the ocean waves. Something about the sea that brings us to another world looking out into the edge of eternity. It reminded me of this film where a woman had lost her first husband he was from Ireland, a lad with a sense of humor, but he passed away. He left her letters to go to Ireland on a journey of healing there she met one of his old friends. The sojourn healed her heart.
I came across your page last night and I've never tried anything like this before but now im going to listen every night..i woke up and had to comment and tell you thank you and i will be listening every night😊
Lighthouses fsscinate me and I love stories about and with them 🙂 They are also beautifully designed and built as well. 🙌🏽 The ocean waves and background music are a wonderful combination and bonus. I really love that you use them; it helps me calm down 🧘🏽♀️ before I relax and unwind during the relaxtion exercise. 😌 Thank you very much Stephen, for this amazing story and experience. 💜
I've been listening to different ones for the past week or so, and have NEVER heard more than 5 minutes of any story ~ I fall asleep so quickly! I think your speech pattern/pauses are what does it. Thank you😊
Stephen - your Meditation & Sleep videos are the BEST for me! I lost my husband last November to a middle-of-the-night heart attack, and I was falling asleep to the TV for company. This was terrible for my sleep as I woke up so many times during the night as the TV got louder or brighter. I was so exhausted which really made my days hard when I’d have to nap in the afternoons. Then I found your videos - they have made such a difference - just slept 7 full hours and feel so refreshed! Thanks for your suggestions and the rich variety of sleep stories as well although I haven’t heard much of the actual stories - I fall asleep so quickly! ❤🎉❤😴💤😴
hi Stephen, I got home a few days ago, not much for talking, but I wanted you to know my son bookmarked these new stories you have uploaded, I can't wait I need rest and you make me feel it is as if I take this time just for me, thank you, the hospital will take me back in a few more days surgery did not go well, thank you for a little piece in my wildlife of 27 yrs,, gone don\t no much anymore. but I like to fall asleep, HOSPITALS,...YOU DON'T SLEEP ... THEY POok YOU ALL THE TIME, LOL HOME FOR 3 DAYS THEN I GO BACK, THEY SAID IT WAS NOT SUSSESFULL, LOL YUP, O.K JUST MY LIFE, LOL, THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE SO FAR AWAY, IT'S O.K IT IS NOW 4:25 am AND I'M NOW LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME SLEEP, GOODNIGHT MY FRIEND
Stephen, the nap part reminded me of an Ireland detail I have not heard in your stories. The grass on the west coast is amazing! Mossy, pillowy cloud tufts of grass. Like green luxury velvet. I know you could describe these characteristics much better than I! Thank you for all you do!!!
This is a very enchanting scene of Ireland and the images, sound effects and history of your people are one of the very best sleep stories! I played it twice catch everything again! I wish I could have lived there in such an idyllic land! Thank you again from California ❤
I yearn to visit southern Ireland again❤ county cork. My father took me there as a child from where his long lost family were from, I have never forgotten it from a young age 💖🙏
Absolutely love that you mentioned the timer and Autoplay option. Shows that you are interested in helping your listeners and not just want to profit from them. Really appreciated!! Brilliant channel ❤
I've always wanted to go to Ireland! My father says our Bailey ancestors came from Dublin. Your description of a place you obviously love is so wonderful and causes my imagination to run free! Maybe one day I will get to see Ireland with my own eyes but for now just listening to you describe it is amazing! Thank you!
I’ve woken up feeling so poorly today. Knowing I’d struggle getting back to sleep, I found your video and hit play. I didn’t even make it to the story and managed to get another 2.5 hours. You’ve such a lovely, soothing voice, and the sound effects are 👌🏼. Thank you so much!
I have been suffering with sciatic for the past three months, found it difficult to sleep, but found you and your stories & lovely voice: I have been sleeping much better, thank you.
Is Dingle the west though? 😜gorgeous tale. I’m from Cork, my grandad was a painter & decorator and painted all the lighthouses in Munster. A few others too, Tory island, Hook Head etc. We used to visit him when he’d be there, it would take him some time because of the unpredictable weather. Big storm in Cork tonight, couldn’t sleep, thinking of him all those years ago. This is just what I needed. GRMA, tah 😌
Haha! Yes it’s in the South West. 😊 Lovely to know that people are listening at home. Thanks for writing and telling me about your grandfather. Lovely to hear. Happy that the story helped. Take care 🙏🏻
Well I've got to say my perfect guided meditation has always been to sleep in a lighthouse, stormy seas as the story, I've never found one until now, this is stunning, thankyou x
I wish it just had the rain or waves crashing in the background. The droning sound woke me up. 😢 I listened to this one twice last night and fell asleep within minutes. I didn’t realize what was waking me until the second time I listened to it and woke at the same spot.
Stephen I have been listening to your stories for the last couple of weeks, like many more of your fans I have never finished one, I do wake up in the night but just put the story back on again. Today I thought I am going to listen to one whilst having a soak in the bath, I closed my eyes and relaxed, I don’t know if I went fully to sleep but I was certainly very relaxed and yes, didn’t hear the whole story. You have a lovely soothing voice and I thank you for sharing it with those of us in need for what ever reason.
Beautifully relaxing.I stayed with this story from beginning til end. I'm retired so it's totally fine when I don't fall asleep , choosing to listen and dream while I'm awake. Thank you for this channel ❤️😊
One of my favorites! ❤ any one with rain really luls me to sleep. I still wake up early in the am but i just replay my story and go back to sleep 😂 Thankyou stephen for all the hard work you put into these stories and caring for the peoples lives you touch! ❤
Dear Stephen, lovely narration.... but wide awake at the mention of Dingle... Fungi the dolphin( devine) and the best soda bread and scrambled egg I've ever had! I loved my stay there, such lovely trusting, decent, and hardworking people ! If you want hospitality, great food and lots of beer....I highly recommend! I'll try the rest a bit later...I've joined, many blessings to you and yours!
I did some of that relaxing thing... Then I woke up and heard the waves. And it was time to get up. It was a wonderful way to awakening. 😊❤ My dog is sleeping close to me. She has listened to. And she doesn't want to get up. So relaxed. I have no clue what your story was about except that it must have been about a lighthouse. But my best friend here must have liked it. Thank you for a couple of hours of extra sleep. I have a lot of pain. But this takes a bit of the pain away, and I can sleep more relaxed. Now a new day can begin and I'm ready for it. 😃❤️ Thank you!
I love this story,I am wide awake just listening and enjoying. I plan to watch and listen daytime tomorrow on bigger screen TV. I love you, I love Hope and Melissa the cat and Fred the dog, my go to for sleeping.✨✨
Thank you so much for helping me back to sleep after waking at 1:30 am and not being able to go back to sleep for over almost 2hours, that is until I found this beautiful story and soothing voice 💖😴
I count on your beautiful sleep stories every night, they are a great comfort and a true Godsend, your soothing voice and the imagery and sounds of birds , winds, water and music are a perfect blend for sleeping, plus the artwork for the story is beautiful! Love from rainy California.❤
I'm going back to your older stories, since recently finding these. 🎉 found delicious rest this afternoon, much needed. The music is beautiful! The lapping of waves, delightful.
Your voice immediately relaxes me. Your story takes me to the places you describe, although I’ve never been, its lovely in my minds eye. The waves 🌊 are divine. I am totalling relaxed. Thank you 🙏
I really love listening to your sleep stories and I don't know how I fall asleep without them..most of the time I have a hard time falling asleep..I have bad anxiety and worry alot in bed but when I listen to your sleep stories I feel so safe in my mind and I really need that..thank you so much
Of all your videos thus far this one has been my go to one. They all help me sleep at night but this one I fall asleep to the quickest. I use it most on days when I need to adjust my sleep schedule, my schedule has been all out of sorts lately some days I go in as early as 0500 and others I go in as late as 1300 but this video helps me transition between the two with ease
Found your channel last night and instead of laying in bed for hours almost in tears with frustration and exhaustion I fell asleep easier I know because im here to try finish the story I missed out on haha...thankyou! I have subscribed because I know I will be back every night 🌙 😌
And voila, Stephen! Got me through!!! It's really interesting how much clearer and more alert I am without sleep meds. Long drive to work and I'm much more alert.
I've always wanted to live in a lighthouse and build a library into the tower itself. This story is both comforting and strangely unsettling with how eerily similar it is to my dream lighthouse home 😂
I love your stories, particularly your cafe and lighthouse stories. I recently came across the New York cafe story. It reminds me of back home. It was so relatable. ❤
I have recently discovered you and your wonderful sleep stories. I have for a year or so experienced difficulties in sleeping due to profound anxiety.. I have autoimmune disorders DM and now recently diagnosed with MS but luckily my mobility is not affected.. just heightened anxiety and depression I firstly found the story of the lighthouse, which actually helped me to sleep Yay! So I continued to listen to other sleep stories. They really have and do help, I take great comfort in their effect (my Gaby is still the lighthouse.. listening to the story with your great accent adds to the comfort effect.. Thank you so very much 🌟 you are very talented bless you 🙏
Hi Stephen, I can't wait till bedtime now, which due to a life-altering accident and injury I dread. Pain and sadness were my bedtime companions. Now I look forward to your stories. Like other listeners, your countdowns are so effective and I use the "clouds floating by on a star-lit sky or leaves on a moon-lit river..during the day when my brain goes into overdrive thinking of the issues. I take a breath and use this as a mantra to push away intrusive negative thoughts. Have you done a storey on horseback with a dog..like Timmy? as a companion..walking in the rainforest mountains and moving down to the beach where you swim with your horse would be lovely. An activity I have done many times around the world. I too have not made it through a video. I support you and thank you! Peace love and a good journey. Best to Rebecca and Timmy...warmest regards Deborah❤🎉😂
There was a short story I used to teach in my English class called The Last Unicorn. There are several versions but the one I liked was based on the biblical story of Noah's Ark. I don't know if that subject matter would appeal to you, but my students, senior high school age, always seemed to enjoy it. Whatever you choose for your stories, I always enjoy your work.
Thank you it's like I found magic search in u have no idea wat Ur story's mean to me how they heal me thank U so much and enyone reading this have a magical dream
Amalia here on Dad's phone. I'd never heard your channel before last night and I was curious about it when I saw it in suggestions. As soon as I started listening I thought "Ooh, an Irish version of Snooze With Sam.' I listened for a few minutes and before I knew it I'd fallen asleep. Wonderful. I'll be back for more and I'll sub!
I just discovered your Channel about a week ago. I have yet to make it to the end of any of the stories awake! The quiet music and dark screens following each story followed by stories I've only heard while asleep,the have brought me wonderful dreams❤ and I'm so glad to have made the discovery🎉 thank you for everything you're doing it's just wonderful🙏😇❣️🌱🌠🌠🌟😴😴💚💚💙💙🥰🥰🏡
As a hypnotherapist my conscious mind can be very critical of many sleep/meditation/hypnosis recordings on YT (often bringing me out of my relaxed state) but yours are fantastic! I love your voice, timbre and speech rate (not to mention the Irish lilt) and the scripts for your stories are wonderful. I'm not so keen on the rain (not so relaxing when you're worried about a leaking roof 😂) so this one was perfect!
I only listen to your stories every night. Love your voice and sleep better than I have in years
Can’t sleep without Stephen!!!!!!
You make me want to see Ireland sounds breathtaking. Keep this channel alive please. Cant see how u dont have millions of listeners.gonna have to pass you around the old campfire.😊
Ireland is one of the most beautiful places on God's earth ❤❤
I definitely found it worth my time spent there. I joined a group in the Dublin area. Loved the people and sensed/felt some strange and beautiful energy in the countryside.
Just a bit sad that I never got round to going back again.
To see and feel Cork where my dad was born and grew up.
I love these stories and Stephen has such a calm and gentle voice ❤
I have no idea what this story was about. I was asleep within minutes and didn't wake up all night long. Appreciated.
I've recently discovered your channel and added it to the list of channels I listen to to distract myself from the daily health challenges I face.
I am learning to give myself permission to use "distraction on purpose" as a management tool. I am diagnosed with a list of chronic mental and physical health challenges including bipolar spectrum disorder, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue syndrome and TMJD (affects my jaw joints and nerves). Basically I live with 24/7 pain and discomfort, extreme tiredness and I am almost always depressed even when my bipolar is controlled by medicine (it blunts the extremes most of the time).
The distractions I use to shift my focus from the negative spiral (of pain, fatigue and depression) and onto what I am able to do for myself to heal/help include RUclips videos of audiobooks, music/ambience, sleep stories, hypnosis, meditation, visualisation and other relaxation techniques that use my imagination to help me escape for a little while. I also use tools such as audiobooks, DVDs, cds, books, paper puzzles like crosswords and sudoko, jigsaw puzzles, colouring in, journalling, writing short stories, creating art or crafty stuff like crochet, beaded jewellery and diamond/Dot paintings.
My motto has become "I will focus on what I am able to do". Even if it's laying in bed and using my imagination to escape the moment. I think the repetitive thoughts and do the actions that help, heal or move me forward. I am careful to make time to have fun, to rest, to do nothing for a few moments but breathe and observe myself.
I hope this comment will inspire some of those who can't sleep or who face challenges (physical, mental, etc) to think of the thoughts and actions that lead them into the best sleep and health of their lives.
As I get busy doing the things that help me to feel positive or useful in my daily life then the negative/hurtful/harmful things like pain, tiredness, depression, worry, frustration, guilt, etc take up less of the time and energy I have. I actually manage to sleep more than 2 hours in a 24 hour period now.
At my worst I was awake between 20 and 23 hours a day and what little sleep I had was broken into 15 or 20 minutes at a time because pain would intensify and wake me. I've lived with constant pain since 1999 as a result of an accident. I say all this because I want to give hope to those who read my comment and who suffer any challenges: things will change, celebrate the tiniest of wins/gains towards relaxing/sleeping/resting as they add up to make progress. It's an invisible war that we fight so encourage yourself and others and give yourself the loving kindness of compassion. Take my comment as a virtual hug or hand on your shoulder or handshake. Well done for doing what you can. Blessings from South Eastern Australia, Dot
😢❤Many thanks Dot, same for you too, not alone 🙏🫂👍👋🕊️glad for the all things that help, God bless you, thanks for all the kind tips and suggestions, kind thoughts, prayers, wishes ❤

I have terrible insomnia and I find myself now listening to Stephen every night. It does help a bit. I love the stories with ocean sounds & rain
Every night for the past months I woke up at around 3 am and stay awake for hours.. by the time I wake up for work I am too exhausted. Tried listening to this for 2 consecutive nights and I am amazed 🙏😃
I have the same kind of insomnia! It's horrible!
Same! I’m so glad to know other people have the same torturous thing happening (not glad…you know what I mean lol)
Me too
Me too broken sleep is the worst.These bedtime stories help!

I like there breathing and relaxation techniques before the stories and I love when the sounds continue afterwards . I love sounds of water.
Beautiful, I love the sound of the ocean waves. Something about the sea that brings us to another world looking out into the edge of eternity. It reminded me of this film where a woman had lost her first husband he was from Ireland, a lad with a sense of humor, but he passed away. He left her letters to go to Ireland on a journey of healing there she met one of his old friends. The sojourn healed her heart.

My brother and I both dream of being‘lighthouse keepers’! This is perfect!!😍
Seriously
I think I would love that too!
that's funny because it is said to be the job with the highest rate of insanity and "hurting" thoughts. Sorry if that brang down the vibe
I'm already in Ireland but I'll travel to the lighthouse tonight ☺️🤣
Ha that's great Amy. Hope you enjoyed :)
Takes me back to my days living in South Kerry 💚 going to Dingle and seeing Fungi was always a thrill. We'll miss him 💔
Thank you 🙏🏾 God Bless U❤
best sleep stories i’ve ever experienced by far. i listen every night switching between all the stories
Awesome :)
Back again!!!!❤
Is Dingle the west though? 😜gorgeous tale. I’m from Cork, my grandad was a painter & decorator and painted all the lighthouses in Munster. A few others too, Tory island, Hook Head etc.

Hi John, Delighted that you've found me and the lighthouse story. Stephen :)
I wish it just had the rain or waves crashing in the background. The droning sound woke me up. 😢 I listened to this one twice last night and fell asleep within minutes. I didn’t realize what was waking me until the second time I listened to it and woke at the same spot.
This is one of my favourites because I love the breathing exercises at the beginning 😊
Love your voice! I have been falling asleep so fast that I have to relisten to your stories! And then I miss them again! 😊🌈
Ha that’s great Roxy. Maybe you’ll never finish one! 😊

I have no clue what your story was about except that it must have been about a lighthouse. But my best friend here must have liked it.
Thank you for a couple of hours of extra sleep. I have a lot of pain. But this takes a bit of the pain away, and I can sleep more relaxed. Now a new day can begin and I'm ready for it. 😃❤️ Thank you!
Loved this one.the beautiful sound of the waves.
Thanks so much. Really happy that you are enjoying Shirley! Stephen :)
I love this story,I am wide awake just listening and enjoying. I plan to watch and listen daytime tomorrow on bigger screen TV. I love you, I love Hope and Melissa the cat and Fred the dog, my go to for sleeping.✨✨
Thank you so much for helping me back to sleep after waking at 1:30 am and not being able to go back to sleep for over almost 2hours, that is until I found this beautiful story and soothing voice 💖😴
I'm happy I helped. Stephen :)
I count on your beautiful sleep stories every night, they are a great comfort and a true Godsend, your soothing voice and the imagery and sounds of birds , winds, water and music are a perfect blend for sleeping, plus the artwork for the story is beautiful! Love from rainy California.❤
I'm going back to your older stories, since recently finding these. 🎉 found delicious rest this afternoon, much needed. The music is beautiful! The lapping of waves, delightful.
Been listning every night for about 2 months now. Thank you for helping he go to sleep faster.
Your voice immediately relaxes me. Your story takes me to the places you describe, although I’ve never been, its lovely in my minds eye. The waves 🌊 are divine. I am totalling relaxed. Thank you 🙏
You're very welcome Cindy. It's a great pleasure for me to know that I am able to help. Stephen :)
I love your voice thankyou Stephen for peace and sleep ❤
I really love listening to your sleep stories and I don't know how I fall asleep without them..most of the time I have a hard time falling asleep..I have bad anxiety and worry alot in bed but when I listen to your sleep stories I feel so safe in my mind and I really need that..thank you so much
Your voice is like a warm cup of honey milk....so cozy and comfortable 🥛🍯
Finally someone else who drinks honey milk- 🥲
Absolutely ❤
I listen to your stories every night and I’ve never heard a story lmao I fall asleep way before that every time! Thank you!
Thank you it is wonderful for a sleepless lady. Love your story.
It is not just a story telling, but also you give exercise for a better sleep. 😊🎉❤
I love your stories of Ireland! So lovely. ❤
Of all your videos thus far this one has been my go to one. They all help me sleep at night but this one I fall asleep to the quickest. I use it most on days when I need to adjust my sleep schedule, my schedule has been all out of sorts lately some days I go in as early as 0500 and others I go in as late as 1300 but this video helps me transition between the two with ease
My favourite all time story 😘
Found your channel last night and instead of laying in bed for hours almost in tears with frustration and exhaustion I fell asleep easier I know because im here to try finish the story I missed out on haha...thankyou! I have subscribed because I know I will be back every night 🌙 😌
I'm happy to play a part in you finding sleep easier. Stephen :)
Thank you for these wonderful sleep stories!!!! I listen to them every night now. 😍
Lovely to hear. Loads to come :)
Thanks so much. Love your voice and stories.
High hopes for this helping me get to and stay asleep!!!
Hope it worked Kathleen!
And voila, Stephen! Got me through!!! It's really interesting how much clearer and more alert I am without sleep meds. Long drive to work and I'm much more alert.
I've always wanted to live in a lighthouse and build a library into the tower itself. This story is both comforting and strangely unsettling with how eerily similar it is to my dream lighthouse home 😂
Awesome 😊
Maybe great introverts think alike? ; )
Absolutely LOVE your story’s, I listen to them every night to go to bed! Thank you for what you do ❤
Lovely relaxing soothing voice definitely helps with sleep
Only little prob just spoilt a little with pulsing sound in background
I love your stories, particularly your cafe and lighthouse stories. I recently came across the New York cafe story. It reminds me of back home. It was so relatable. ❤
A great story 😴 Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for listening
Thank you so much. I'm sleeping so well
Thought id listen to this an omg brilliant thank you
Thanks Amanda, delighted you like! Stephen :)
I have recently discovered you and your wonderful sleep stories. I have for a year or so experienced difficulties in sleeping due to profound anxiety.. I have autoimmune disorders DM and now recently diagnosed with MS but luckily my mobility is not affected.. just heightened anxiety and depression
I firstly found the story of the lighthouse, which actually helped me to sleep Yay! So I continued to listen to other sleep stories. They really have and do help, I take great comfort in their effect (my Gaby is still the lighthouse.. listening to the story with your great accent adds to the comfort effect..
Thank you so very much 🌟 you are very talented bless you 🙏
Thank you Dee. I wish you well and I’m happy you found the channel 🙏🏻
Over 100 subs now Stephen. Good stuff! What lucky souls we are to be part of this blessed community. 🙏
Even 200 now - extremely grateful for that! ♥️ Sorry for the little break, but tonight I finally have a new story planned. I hope you'll enjoy 🙏🏻
I really love this sleep story 👍💜. Works wonders✨
This might be my new favorite sleep story, thank you so much!!
My pleasure. Stephen :)
Hi Stephen, I can't wait till bedtime now, which due to a life-altering accident and injury I dread. Pain and sadness were my bedtime companions. Now I look forward to your stories. Like other listeners, your countdowns are so effective and I use the "clouds floating by on a star-lit sky or leaves on a moon-lit river..during the day when my brain goes into overdrive thinking of the issues. I take a breath and use this as a mantra to push away intrusive negative thoughts. Have you done a storey on horseback with a dog..like Timmy? as a companion..walking in the rainforest mountains and moving down to the beach where you swim with your horse would be lovely. An activity I have done many times around the world. I too have not made it through a video. I support you and thank you! Peace love and a good journey. Best to Rebecca and Timmy...warmest regards Deborah❤🎉😂
Perfect, thank you
You're welcome!
I'm from Ireland 💚
Oh great! Lovely to have some people from home enjoying the channel! Thanks Ann :)
There was a short story I used to teach in my English class called The Last Unicorn. There are several versions but the one I liked was based on the biblical story of Noah's Ark. I don't know if that subject matter would appeal to you, but my students, senior high school age, always seemed to enjoy it. Whatever you choose for your stories, I always enjoy your work.
Brilliant, as always, Stephen. Thank you xxx
Stephen loving your stories so much❤ You are marvellous, with your wonderful soothing voice.Thank you and best wishes from Scotlandx

Thanks Joanne 🙏🏻
Amalia here on Dad's phone. I'd never heard your channel before last night and I was curious about it when I saw it in suggestions. As soon as I started listening I thought "Ooh, an Irish version of Snooze With Sam.' I listened for a few minutes and before I knew it I'd fallen asleep. Wonderful. I'll be back for more and I'll sub!
Thank you so much Amalia, glad you enjoyed it! There’s more to come very soon ✨🙏🏻

Looking forward to it. 😉
Thank you Micheal
I just discovered your Channel about a week ago. I have yet to make it to the end of any of the stories awake!
The quiet music and dark screens following each story followed by stories I've only heard while asleep,the have brought me wonderful dreams❤ and I'm so glad to have made the discovery🎉 thank you for everything you're doing it's just wonderful🙏😇❣️🌱🌠🌠🌟😴😴💚💚💙💙🥰🥰🏡
I love your videos so much 😭❤️❤️❤️
Your videos calm me when i want to sleep but my stress doesnt allow me..
I'm really happy that my videos are having a positive impact on your life. Stephen :)
Thank you
You're welcome
❤❤beautiful, thank you x
You’re welcome Roberta 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing! 😊
I am laughing as I get ready for bed thinking does Rebecca and Timmy 😂 fall asleep when you come home from work 💤 and start talking
As a hypnotherapist my conscious mind can be very critical of many sleep/meditation/hypnosis recordings on YT (often bringing me out of my relaxed state) but yours are fantastic! I love your voice, timbre and speech rate (not to mention the Irish lilt) and the scripts for your stories are wonderful.
I'm not so keen on the rain (not so relaxing when you're worried about a leaking roof 😂) so this one was perfect!
Tried it last night. Never even made it to the story . Will try again tonight. Hopefully i will be awake long enough to at least hear the beginning 😁
Thank you so much for this! Best night's sleep I've had in a very long time! ❤
That's great to hear. Thank you for sharing. It means a lot. Stephen :)
