@@schokoloko2092 Hi Schokoloko! I understand your concern. To be totally honest with you I am not an expert on Impressums and the like. However I personally reached out to Snoozeband, not the other way around, so it did not feel like a weird approach from an unknown company. They sent me their product to try and I genuinely loved it, otherwise there is no way I would have accepted a sponsor. I have had a few companies reach out to me, but because their brand did not align with my vision or because it didn't feel suitable, I didn't push through, despite the money. I have tried and tested SnoozeBand for well over 4 months now and I love their product and the responsiveness of their customer service. I now own two SnoozeBands and use them every single night. Compared to other sleep headphones on the market they blow the competition away. But, like I say, I do understand your concern, just please know that this is not a random sponsorship taken without any prior testing of their product. I hope this eases your mind in some way :) x
They also have a business address: 2 Fernyhalgh Court, PR2 9NJ, England, UK and a contact email: contact@snoozeband.co.uk if you have any question's about their impressum etc x
I have purchased the sleep bands for me and my partner and can honestly say life changing! I feel now when I listen to you that you are the voice inside my head telling the story, but also I don’t wake my partner up twenty times a night because his snoring is driving me mad!
Can’t wait. You are a genius! You don’t know how many times your work has pulled me back from the dark pit of anxiety and despair. I can only say thank you for your kindness and amazing talents
Love your baby Harry Potter stories are very lovely I always want to talk to you and get to you to read your story with so I love your stories I really love your stories though so that's why I really got stories and Harry Potter children's so I hope you eat good and happy Harry Potter so I'm I'm reading them right now and I'm taking and I'm watching them right so I'm I think that videos was great and I'm going to watch another video of you telling a Harry Potter okay
I am so sorry to hear of your struggles, Christine, but it makes me very happy to know that my work is helping you somehow. Keep fighting, and I am sending you my thoughts, and hugs. x
Yes!! Worth every penny of my patreon ship! Actually got to listen to one of ur stories all the way through last night first time ever as usually asleep in first half hour! What a craftsman you are at your art! X
You are too kind, Frodo! I appreciate that :) As someone who started this as a total beginner, it means a lot to get compliments like this from someone who clearly understands the process! X
I just ordered my Snoozebands for me and my little 5 year old daughter from your recommendation 😊 We both love listening to your sleep stories at night 😊 Can’t wait to get them and really be able to relax and enjoy them! Thank you and have a wonderful holiday!! ❤🎄☃️❄️😊
This is the best surprise!!! I'm so happy to see this!!! My son listens to your Harry Potter stories every night (I do sometimes too) but it's the lord of the rings ones I love the most - the shire is my happy place. And I love Christmas. So this is the best Christmas gift I could receive. I'm probably going to listen to it every night now haha Thank youuuuu 🥰🥰🥰
So very excited and cant wait to share with all my patients here in the states having sleep, grief and trauma issues. Thank you for the healing magic!! 🙏🙏🙏😇
Thank you for all you do, you’re incredible! I look forward to all your videos, especially your Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit inspired stories. Can’t wait to listen to this one :)
Me constantly switching between your “Christmas Eve at Hogwarts” & this, trying to decide which one to listen to rn😭 (I honestly LOVE your sleep stories!! I usually don’t really listen to those things, but especially these & the Harry Potter ones are SO COZY and perfect for autumn/winter! Thank you for your healing work, and contribution to bringing peace and calmness into society🕯🤲🏻)
Me too. I've decided for now it will have to be Hogwarts one night the Shire the following night. Then repeat. Absolutely love the Harry and Shire series
Just finished listening, by the fire, & not bedtime yet, so I'm very happy to have heard it all the way through. What a peaceful & joyful bit of Christmas cheer, mr. sleepy cat! ;-)
I have listened so far like 6 times I always fall asleep within 20 minutes I can't stay awake to hear the rest. Thank you for your incredible work. Love The Harry Potter and LORT & Hobbit. It's spectacular Happy Holidays 😊
Your stories are such a big help. The stories and your voice keep me focused enough to fall asleep without anxiety overwhelming me. I cannot thank you enough, SC. MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅 🎄!
Thank you for this enchanting and joyfully evocative Christmas journey, Mr. Cat. I was utterly transported to a kinder and gentler world, place, and time. You are a true master at creating totally satisfying and relaxing immersive experiences, from gorgeous descriptive writing, to exquisite sound effects, perfectly attuned musical selections, clever insertion of relaxation techniques, abundant love, joy, kindness, peace, and gratitude into each of your stories. The finest detail does not escape your attention, even to the striking of a match and the soft laughter of children. And, your voice, of course, is perfection! I also appreciate the evident love and concern you have for (most) animals, with the possible exception of geese. (I had hoped the banquet would be entirely plant based, but alas, it was close but not entire.) Nevertheless, you have much more than adequately achieved for us a most lovely "land of eternal beauty, untouched by the outside world, a land of hope and friendship, of laughter and love, of warm food and a comfortable life. It is the most wonderful place in the world." Thank you for this magical gift! A very merry Christmas to you!
@@SleepyCatMeditations Thank you, Mr. Sleepy Cat! 😃 it has been such a pleasure listening to this new episode, but I also keep listening to other of your uploads. As you can see I have my favourites 🥰 The reasons are many, but also because they're longer versions, the way you tell the stories and other good things 😊 Happy December to you and yours, Mr. Sleepy Cat 🥳🎄🌟🎉🥂🥰 And to all the Sleepy Kittens out there 😊
Thank You. {. 🐰. 💆. 🎸. } 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝 I am going to listen to this. As I try to get a good night's Sleep. I have just spent 3 months decontaminating my bedroom and now I am in it in my really comfy bed. With favourite comfy clean blankets and I am happy now to be back in my own really comfy bed Thank you Sleepy Cat. You have made my life worthwhile. 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝 Much love. 🙏
I would love to make a bit of a Cat adventure story - it's been on my list since I started the channel, but due to the popularity of the HP content this became a huge focus for me. But hopefully in the future I can explore this :)
FINALLY! Another Shire story, I'm so so excited. Love the actual stories and getting tired of HP/Hogwarts stories. Many of us are still LOTR fans and the material is getting thin. THANK YOU!
I do appreciate that, Joy, thank you! The Lord of the Rings is my all time favourite story, so there is plenty more Rings sleep content to come, as well as other themed stories :) I did focus on HP for a while, yes, because Yer a Wizard was doing very well and I wanted to finish that saga :) It's tricky being just one person to balance the workload and the focus of the channel sometimes x
Really excited about this one! I love your Shire stories 💜 a question if I may? What does Sleepy Cat listen to through his Snooze Band to go to sleep? Do you listen to your own stories? Just curious x
Thanks so much Emily! Noo I don't listen to my own stories - I think I am far too analytical for that. Plus I listen to them enough when editing, haha! It really depends on my mood, but I tend to listen to sleep music, or sometimes an audiobook, or a relaxing podcast! One thing I love is listening to Bob Ross painting videos, I find all the sounds and his voice very relaxing, and it is completely removed from my own work, so I can actually disconnect :) x
@@SleepyCatMeditations I used to love watching his show when young! What a great idea to listen for sleep, I'll try that sometime... thank you for a fresh new idea sleepy cat!
This was so soothing and amazing until the beautiful voice stopped and the writing noises jolted me awake haha. And the last one I tried (I think it was a Harry Potter one) a jig started playing and jolted me awake. Are there videos without any extended or crazy sound effects that break the tone of the speaking? I would put one of those on a loop all night haha
Feels like it would actually be Yuletide in the Shire to keep closer to the Third Age of Tolkein’s middle-earth, as there is Christian morality but no organized religion. Does it actually snow in Hobbiton? A rare event. These things keep me up at night.😅
Thanks so much, Lindsey! I do try to make the themed stories accessible to all, even those who are not as familiar with the work, while also including some easter eggs for fans! It's a tough balance, but I hope you enjoy this one :) x
Update on my Snoozeband, I wear it all the time now for naps and sleeping. It is so comfortable to wear (and I'm a side sleeper), blocks the light and is very easy to use
Sleepy Cat Meditations and these LOTR stories inspired me to record my own Tolkien relaxing story (no money and no patreon, I just wanted to help people relax). If you search RUclips for "Back to Beorn's" you'll find the hour-long story. Thank you for the inspiration, SCM-I gave an acknowledgment to you at the beginning of the video.
I can't believe that the Hobbits had hot chocolate in the story😂 I ❤ HOT CHOCOLATE!!! The songs I would imagine them singing is Christmas Pipes or Christmas Canon.
Alright, you talked me into it. Just ordered the deluxe. I am a stomach and side sleeper. After the very uncomfortable round I had last night with my current sleep band breaking my ear. 😂😂. I hope it is worth it. 🤞
Hi @ Sleepy Cat Meditations I’ve reconsidered and have decided to buy a sleep mask all the way from Australia 🇦🇺 😊 Even though they are quite expensive I’d rather pay extra and know it is of high quality. I’m actually going to get one for my sister too so I can get the free international shipping. The question I have for you is how is it against your eyes? Is it comfortable enough? In your video and on their website there is no picture of the inside. Just usually when I where a sleep mask it has some room between material and my eyes if you know what I mean! Thanks in advance for your answer! 😊
Hello Dana! :) That's great you're considering one; I also have tried the cheaper models by other companies, but they broke, or became mis-shaped and had to replaced, which ended up costing more! The material quality and durability of the Snoozeband is far superior, plus it comes with a 6 month warranty if you have any problems and 15 day money back guarantee if you're not 100% happy with it when it arrives. In terms of the inside, I personally find it very comfortable, and the deluxe model featured in this video has a velcro strap so that you can make it a bit looser/tighter if needed. The standard model is a stretchy, breathable fabric, and I do think it is very comfortable. That being said, it is designed to act as an eye mask as well, so I suppose it is quite close to the eyes, but I don't experience a "pressing" feeling on my eyes. For me, it feels the same as wearing a standard eye mask, and the material is very soft. I hope all this helps! Quite a few listeners have been telling me they got a Snoozeband recently and they seem to love them as well :) xx

I'm really glad, that you found a sponsor and you can get money for all your effort!
But I still think that this company smells fishy. they don't have an Impressum on their website. that's a requirement in the EU (or maybe even mostly worldwide?) to state who owns the company and where they have their resident. i couldn't find anything. no tax ID, no name, nothing.
so, I'm not sure what they try to hide, but maybe you want to look further into, if you still want to be sponsored by them.
I can totally understand, if you need the money. business is hard and inflation even harder.
but maybe other people will read this.
I will buy one from another company, because the concept sounds really awesome and comfy.
and thank you for all your work! I'm looking forward to this! the shire is my favourite one.

Same! I with the Christmas at hogwarts had a black screen version

Oh please do let me know how you find it. I wear mine every night, I absolutely love it! Thank you for the kind words, Tim :) x
My snoozeband arrived today, I will let you know how I get on, thanks again SleepyCat.
The Snoozeband is working wonders for my sleep. It's comfortable and easy to use, thank you again SleepyCat.
Update on my Snoozeband, I wear it all the time now for naps and sleeping. It is so comfortable to wear (and I'm a side sleeper), blocks the light and is very easy to use
The best yet!
Thank you so much, J D :) x
I looove this story. The audio in this is beyond magical 🥰 hear me out - a wensday inspired story?
Sleepy Cat Meditations and these LOTR stories inspired me to record my own Tolkien relaxing story (no money and no patreon, I just wanted to help people relax).
If you search RUclips for "Back to Beorn's" you'll find the hour-long story. Thank you for the inspiration, SCM-I gave an acknowledgment to you at the beginning of the video.
Good luck with your endeavour, Jeremy! Glad I was involved somehow :) x
The way I listened to this with a snoozeband 🙏😂
We love that!!
Love this thankyou!!!
thank you so much, Fran, so good to see your name again - I hope you're doing okay :) x
I can't believe that the Hobbits had hot chocolate in the story😂 I ❤ HOT CHOCOLATE!!! The songs I would imagine them singing is Christmas Pipes or Christmas Canon.
I love your lotr videos💕💕
Alright, you talked me into it. Just ordered the deluxe. I am a stomach and side sleeper. After the very uncomfortable round I had last night with my current sleep band breaking my ear. 😂😂. I hope it is worth it. 🤞
Ah, off I go on an adventure!
This has been out a month now and I still haven't heard the whole thing 😅😴💕
gasp! I've found a hidden gem!
Hi @ Sleepy Cat Meditations I’ve reconsidered and have decided to buy a sleep mask all the way from Australia 🇦🇺 😊 Even though they are quite expensive I’d rather pay extra and know it is of high quality. I’m actually going to get one for my sister too so I can get the free international shipping. The question I have for you is how is it against your eyes? Is it comfortable enough? In your video and on their website there is no picture of the inside. Just usually when I where a sleep mask it has some room between material and my eyes if you know what I mean! Thanks in advance for your answer! 😊
Hello Dana! :)
That's great you're considering one; I also have tried the cheaper models by other companies, but they broke, or became mis-shaped and had to replaced, which ended up costing more! The material quality and durability of the Snoozeband is far superior, plus it comes with a 6 month warranty if you have any problems and 15 day money back guarantee if you're not 100% happy with it when it arrives. In terms of the inside, I personally find it very comfortable, and the deluxe model featured in this video has a velcro strap so that you can make it a bit looser/tighter if needed. The standard model is a stretchy, breathable fabric, and I do think it is very comfortable. That being said, it is designed to act as an eye mask as well, so I suppose it is quite close to the eyes, but I don't experience a "pressing" feeling on my eyes. For me, it feels the same as wearing a standard eye mask, and the material is very soft.
I hope all this helps! Quite a few listeners have been telling me they got a Snoozeband recently and they seem to love them as well :) xx
@@SleepyCatMeditations Thanks so much for replying. Yes think I’ll go with the deluxe…just looks so cozy…even if it is summer here ha ha!
@@DanaMac1977 Haha, isn't it always summer in Australia?! ;) Oh and with the deluxe you can actually pop a mini ice pack in the front pouch! :) x
