This all night guided sleep meditations, deep sleep hypnosis adult bedtime stories compilation has a black screen during all of the sleep stories so that if you are playing this video for the full 8 hours it hopefully won't be too bright.
This is a deep sleep hypnosis, guided sleep meditation adult bedtime stories compilation designed, like all my deep relaxation stories, to calm an overactive mind. These guided sleep meditations are to help you let go of thoughts and worries while helping you to fall asleep quickly, tackling insomnia.
This collection of healing hypnotic sleep stories for grownups is a collection of 14 bedtime stories for grownups from 2019 (8 hours of sleep stories). By listening to one of my sleep stories compilations you only have the initial RUclips introduction from me, after that the stories play uninterrupted with no further introductions or ads (I never put ads in the middle or at the ends of my videos. RUclips has started doing this from time to time to creators videos without their permission, so if you see yellow marks in the video timeline then refresh and see if that makes the ads go away. When ads show, it is sporadic, but it is best to always check with any sleep story or guided meditation you watch from any RUclipsr).
The sleep stories for grownups are:
- An Egyptian Cat's Ocean Adventure
- An Underground Civilisation
- Dreaming In A Moonlit Meadow
- Dreaming Wisdom
- Exploring A Lucid Dream
- Me-Time By The Lake
- Meditating On A Rose
- Mermaid On The Rock
- Cave Of Wisdom
- Teddy Bears Picnic
- The Ancient Civilisation
- The Ballet Dancer's Dream
- The Cabin In The Woods
- The Computer Game

All of my healing hypnotic sleep stories for grownups use therapeutic storytelling to help you fall asleep while reducing stress, worry and anxiety.

Anyone reading this, I just want to put some more blessings, healing & positive energy out there. I hope & pray that you all sleep well...& that anyone who gets nightmares, attacks, or sleep paralysis, has healing from those. In Jesus’ Name I pray that!! Amen❤️❤️❤️
Amen thank you for this God bless you 💕
Thank you, sweet soul 💖
Thank you so much! Your prayers are greatly appreciated and I pray you are blessed!
Thank you, this means soo much to me. Bless you❤
Thank you and God bless 💞💞💞
I grew up having debilitating panic attacks and mental health issues. Now just entering my 20s, I call myself a night owl, but really sometimes I've been afraid to turn the lights off and be in the darkness with my thoughts until I waded into sleep. Even with sleep pills, I still remained awake, afraid and distracted. I came across this video after sifting through other narration videos that spoke too fast to be of any help. Your video put me to sleep in twenty minutes, and even when I woke up throughout the night, your voice literally lulled me back to sleep. I am so grateful that you put in the time to do this, helping millions of us get the sleep we need to carry on with the next day and the next. Thank you, thank you, thank you...
His videos have changed me and my anxious childrens' lives. These 8-10 hour videos have been quite literally saving our lives the last 2 years. I have panic disorder too, and am a night owl due to emotional distress still at 37 years old 😢 After I discovered this channel and played it for my kids I started listening at bedtime too. Now we're all sleeping to Dan Jones' voice and so much better bc of it. Sleep is vital for healing.
A few other sleep channels that have helped me are: the soothing pod, the french whisperer, and relax for a while. Please tell me if you have any other channels you like. I wish you peaceful nights 💕
These corners of youtube have the nicest and sweetest comment sections for real lol, I feel blessed to know there is a safe place on the internet finally. Goodnight everyone, sleep well
This is my first night here listening to this that's why I'm hoping it helps to put me to sleep I suffer from severe anxiety and insomnia on top of depression but just after hearing one minute and 20 seconds of his voice I'm all ready to go lay down and listen to the rest! Sweet dreams to everyone reading this may God bless you all and may you live a wonderful fulfilled life ❤️
I hope you got a lovely rest from this and have had a lovely festive break, all the best, godspeed.
I hope and pray you are doing well! May God continue to bless and keep you!
❤️
I too suffered as you did for 60 years! Then I found the Havening Technique on RUclips by Paul McKenna. I’m now free from all that you listed, it’s nothing short of a miracle. I have the usual problems life throws at us, but I can, hand on heart say I’m as happy as can be. I love these stories for their lack of anything anxiety provoking. Really soothing.
I hope you are doing well ❤ I’m NEEDING this to work for me. I’m
So depressed I’ve been considering ending my days.. I pray this helps.
Love to all .we are all family everyone has things or problems to deal with.isnt it just wonderful that we have someone kind enough to share their gift of storytelling. just like a bunch of kids listening to a story late at night peaceful and quite .it just dosnt get much better. Good night world family hope all yalls dreams come true
❤️❤️❤️🌛🌛🌟🌟
Right back at ya mate😴❤🌛
@@anelisamorgan8590 🙂
That's very sweet. We all have this in common so I guess it is like a sort of family. Well, May you all have a restful night deep sleep as we listen to his meaningful stories.
How lovely. Same to you.
My mind is always active when I try and sleep so I've been searching for something that will help me switch off. No matter how busy my mind is, your tone of voice always works. I dont understand why some people are complaining about this being slow or boring. It's not meant to be hyperactive. Thank you for taking the time to put this on the web and trying to help others.
Running water a small water falls kinda thing near were you sleep.
@@jasondenney3201 I would be running to pee all night. 🙄
I suffer from terrible anxiety and panic attacks, this is the only thing that calms me down! Thank you so much, I'm so happy I ran into your ch
Thank you again
I also have all that, childhood trauma, past surgery caused hormonel imbalance, no longer get period, and no parents, makes it worse, just closed eyes, felt anxiety in my head, opened them to read forums, to help me, I'm still listening to this, meditation story, hope it helps eventually, I usually listen to scarry stories
I have that too!! And I couldn't believe how well I slept while listening to this❤️
@@angelchalmers3760 I know this comment is from 8 months ago but I wanted to know how you're doing? Suffering through trauma alone is hell. I'm just a random mom with mental illness but if you'd like someone to talk to who won't judge a damn thing you can message me any time. Or reply here, lmk how you're feeling. Wishing you rest and healing 💕
I have bipolar type2, and when I’m having a manic episode, it’s near impossible to fall asleep. I said near impossible, because you are the only thing I’ve found that helps put me to sleep during those restless nights - thank you ❤️❤️
Same here. It really helps
You mean hypomanic. Otherwise you have type1. Trust me, I would know.
Emmett Zainea I read some creepy pastas and I have this thing we’re I know they’re not real but I still can’t get to sleep because part of my brain claims they are
Calm videos help me power nap and sleep they’re really helpful
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii8 we w
Same. I can go 24 hrs straight..no slp..& it doesn't even effect me doing my daily chores. Its the worst.
I feel a bit embarrassed to be here but after a few seconds, i felt relaxed. Wish you all a happy 2021, bless you all, may you have luck and success.
Why would you "feel embarrassed" to look at or listen to a asmr/meditation channel? That doesn't make sense. 😕
I'm glad you found the channel and gave it a shot. The same blessings and happiness for you in 2021!
@@kojacksfootballshack8191hope you feel amazing now from 2024 :)
I didn’t think I’d be able to fall asleep 😴 but 6 hrs later...woke up & can’t remember a thing. The longest I’ve slept in months. Thank you.
I used to tell myself stories every night to help me relax and to fall asleep. I haven't been able to do that since I was 16. I'm now 21. This is a great alternative and worked really well for me.
For the past few years, since my partner passed, I have been sleeping with an ear bud listening to narrations but this is the first time I found a video designed with that in mind. Thank you so much! Nighty night!
I am so sorry about your loss
@@Sarahbabeara91 thank you. 💔
Oh dear! I hope you are coping well Alison!❤️🙏🏼💪🏼
I used to sleep mostly ok with two other men who post here. My daughter, 42 passed in February of breast cancer she fought bravely for 3 1/2 years. I have been having major sleep problems, so I’m thinking stories may help keep my brain busy. Being 71 and alone is horrendous. Been out 7 times since March 9.
@@marybethmcmahon5937 I understand so much of what you must be feeling but I can promise that you are not as alone as you feel. I can also promise that these videos do help when you need some rest so your poor heart can heal. 💔
I have listened to you several nights now and you are by far THE BEST I have yet to have the pleasure of listening to. You were meant to help people. To live a life when you can never sleep is horrible. After I listen to you, I wake up feeling great in a positive mood and I also have wonderful dreams while listening to your stories. I am a huge insomniac, you help me. You got a new subscriber. Also, I appreciate that you keep the screen dark. Because I probably like many have a tendency to look at the screen when I listen to others and it is too distracting.
Having PTSD with horrifying nightmares left me with barely 3 hours a night. The night is terrifying to me but this gives my brain the comfort and safety needed to actually get a full nights rest. Thank you ❤️
I've recently begun to have really extreme panic attacks, typically related to fear of sleeping. This helps me fall asleep when nothing else will. Thank you. ♥️
Wow. You are the real deal. Only got as far as the cat meeting the unicorn then..zzzzz. Thank you!
Im recovering from surgery, and the pain medications have me in and out of actually following the story, but i dont even care because this is soooo soothing. Thank you. Sending love and healing to you friends
I look forward to bedtime every night.I use to be up all night.Thank you so much.🙏❤
Oh Dan you did it 😊. The commenter above me told my story exact. Lousy childhood causing PTSD depression and anxiety disorder. I live all alone so I'm all I have and this compilation is perfect to calm me down at night. Thank you again for this. ❤️
Sorry about your child hood. But I want you to know I care.
@@anitahardin7983 Oh thank you so much for your caring and support. It's hard to live those horrid memories every day. You are so kind 💕
@@DanaPrice how do u cope with those memories? Can u blot them out ? Does it get easier over time ?
@@susan4yahshua Alot of tears and even more prayer. No, it's exactly like the fictional but VERY CORRECT John Rambo screamed.... It's Never Over! 😔
@@stacey3637 I will do that thank you
I don't understand why this worked. You have a magical gift. Your voice, so relaxing. All I heard was something about an Egyptian cat, a boat... I fell asleep that fast. THANK YOU!
I’m always so relaxed by this that I never even stay awake through the first story about the cat. Sometimes when my kitty decides to curl up with me while I’m listening to this, I can’t help but wonder if she has nice dreams like the cat in this story. Either way, I always imagine her as that cat, having a fun little adventure in her dreams. ❤️🐈⬛
It's nice to actually see who's reading the stories.
This was awesome! I woke up a couple times during the night and played this. Fell back into a deep sleep!
Really gets imagination working. Gentle and dreamy
Not sure how this works this video puts me right to sleep and I stay asleep for hours. Love it. Especially since I struggle every night trying to just get 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
Long time listener..3 am here still trying to rest...hope this story helps tonight...need sleep bad..here's to hoping, will update tomorrow 😴
Got 7 hrs , woke up to quiet , thought my wifi quot streaming but alas video was over haha. Good stuff
I love these stories! Only problem is I don’t know how any of them end! It really works magic. I don’t know what your’e saying for a lot of it, but sometimes, when I just start waking up, I feel just...happy. I don’t know if it’s because I slept good, or if it’s because, whether I remember what it is, or not, the story has a happy ending. Anyway, Thank You!
I couldn't sleep because I was thinking to much. But when I listen to the stories I felt asleep so thank you for these stories .
Thanks so much for putting these out here, your stories have helped me fall back to sleep in the middle of the night. Don't change a thing!
I've tried countless audio aids to help me sleep and this is by far the most effective! I also bought ear phones that are a head band, so i can comfortably wear them all night. This is the best sleep I've had in ages. Thank you so much!
It's interesting to see how many other people there are that suffer from a panic disorder of their own sorts. And how it also affects their sleep. I've never thought about the fact that I'm not the only one I always feel so alone in it. I usually fall asleep to Bible stories/verses with music. I just happened to come across this, and his voice sounds soothing enough so far. Goodnight all. I hope everyone sleeps well. 🤍
Have had trouble sleeping for a while now so thought I'd give it a try
Thank you so much for your wonderful stories and your calming voice I am so grateful to have found you because I can finally fall asleep listening to you, I wake up several times during the night but I can still manage to fall asleep again listening to you because you stories go all night, so for the first time in years I am getting some sleep, god bless you
Thank you for helping me have a peaceful relaxing sleep
Love this stuff, you have helped this insomniac, I'm not cured, but you help a lot
Yes, this has truly been an awesome find.
Do you have a category of videos or can you give me a list of the videos with a blank/ black screen?
Bruh
@@danoelmucho2503 how does insomnia give me attention?
@@danoelmucho2503 I didn't know that thanking someone for help was attention seeking. Stupid troll
Tonight is the 3rd sleep with this playing. The first night I dreamt of a cat sleeping next to my head, and it woke me up with it's purring. I slept so well, thank you!
I appreciate the black screen so much. Love all your stories.
I absolutely love your voice and imagination. These stories are lovely and so effective. Thank you for sharing them!
If ever a channel deserved more subscribers its this one, criminally under subscribed, i have severe PTSD and this really helps, i dread night time because it seems to get worse and i wake gasping for air if i can sleep at all so thank you my friend, blessings from Ireland to you and your clan yeh 🇮🇪🙏🇬🇧
What about nighttime triggers your PTSD? So sorry you have to deal with this horrible mental disease....
Could be sleep apnea! I would definitely check that out, it could be life changing!!!
I suffer from that as well, I wonder if it’s linked to my insomnia too. Thanks for your comment , Best of wishes to you my friend 🤙🏽
I’m so thankful for your channel. Your stories help with my new insomnia. ❤️
On an another night time adventure with your stories Dan..😁 Thank you so much for helping me get a sleep, much appreciated!😁👌🏿
Night 234 with your bedtime story. Thanks again!
Thank you. Fell asleep quickly and stayed asleep!
These stories are not just for sleep; they're a nightly therapy session. The deep relaxation and comfort they provide are unmatched. I wake up feeling refreshed and grateful every morning. Thank you!
That is their main purpose, to help with stress, anxiety and worry. The only part of the stories focusing on sleep are the introduction, the rest of the story is focused on sharing therapeutic metaphors and ideas to help with stress, worry and anxiety...
Thank you for clarifying the main purpose of these stories. It's great to know that they are designed not only to aid in sleep but also to provide therapeutic metaphors and ideas for dealing with stress, worry, and anxiety. The focus on mental well-being in addition to sleep is truly beneficial and appreciated.@@DanJonesHypnosis
@@BedtimeStory-u2g in the description of all the stories is a link to a video of me demonstrating what I do in these stories with a client, where I create therapeutic metaphors etc for her from what she tells me she would like help with. This is the process I use to create the sleep stories, except I'm making them for a generic audience rather than tailoring them to a single individual. When I used to do the live sleep story creation sessions I used to tailor the stories to those in the live chat...
@@DanJonesHypnosis That's so great!
I don’t sleep at night an I just wake up from a 4h nap I’m shock these stories are the best thin ever tu so much 💕💕💕
It's so nice to find bedtime stories aimed at adults. This collection strikes the perfect balance between being engaging enough to hold my interest and soothing enough to help me sleep. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I slept great! Pleasant voice and so calming.
I slept for 4 ½ hours! I can't believe it. That's longer than I can get with a real thunderstorm.
I was resistant to trying the "story telling" but it worked. Evidently I fell asleep quickly and stayed asleep. That's something considering how bad my insomnia is. Thanks!
Audiobooks in general help out a lot with mine, and the way this fellow speaks and presents the story adds another layer to that, for me at least. Glad you have found this as well 👌🏽
i am going to suggest this to my mother. she has been having a hard time sleeping. thank you, this should be of great help!
These stories are fantastic Dan, found them after not sleeping for 48 hours and they really helped.
Thank you so much! 😘
OKAY!!! I don’t know when I fell asleep! But I did! & I didn’t even bother to look for how long. As I didn’t want to “jinx myself.” BUT THIS TOTALLY WORKED!!!! GRACIAS!!! Wish I could listen to the stories just to know what they are about! Hahaha but we all know what happens when we try that!!!😬🤪😉🥱🥱😴😴😴😴
Omg I love you thank you. Your voice is so soothing 💓
Loved it. The dark screen made it even better
The pandemic has really disturbed my sleep. Trying to sleep has been met with a lot of anxiety and racing thoughts. But your sleep stories have been helping SO much. I listened to this one last night and was asleep within an hour, which sounds like a long time but is actually amazing progress for me. I’ve subscribed and will listen to more stories each night. Thank you so much, Dan ❤️
Been listening off snd on for over a year now. You must be doing a great job, Dan. I’ve never made it to the end of a single story.
Thank you
nice compilation of good stories..listened to most a few times but always miss something
I’m becoming conditioned to immediately relaxing at the sound of the classical guitar chord... great stuff and thanks man 😊
WOW three tracks this week and it's only Tuesday. You've been busy! You know we appreciate it 💜. Noticed this is Volume I, how many are you planning on doing?! Listened to the dog story compilation last night, it was great. I like how when you do stories about animals you do it from their perspective. 😊
I quite like imagining what the perspective of different animals would be, so it is always interesting to have things from their perspective.
Posting the Dog compilation was likely an error in terms of then releasing the main weekly video this morning (which has done very badly in terms of views). If I post videos too close together it impacts on RUclips's algorithms showing my videos. I posted the Dog compilation Monday morning and then the main weekly story this morning 24 hours later. RUclips don't like showing people videos by the same channel that have been posted within about 48 hours of each other so by posting the Dog video it has reduced how many views my main story has gotten.
That is why I decided to post this video, because I thought, I've already negatively impacted on my views on my main story video for this week, so I have nothing to lose by posting this now rather than next week. This video also won't get many views for the same reason, but I suspect that being 8 hours of stories back to back it will be a slow burner and will gradually start to get good numbers of views as people discover it and start to use it (it is so irritating to myself thinking about 'is this going to increase or decrease my views etc, I would rather just be posting things and letting everything else take care of itself. One day my channel will hopefully be popular enough that I can just focus on the posting and not on views because I would make enough income to not worry if sometimes I've made half the income because of posting too much, or because I posted some stories people didn't really resonate with etc)...
I have already created a second volume of stories from this year and by the end of the year I may well have enough 2019 stories to create a third volume. I have also already created a royalty compilation which is a collection of my royalty stories (king/queen/prince/princess stories) and I am thinking about other sets I might do. The chances are, as I am currently trying to keep up the pace of making 3 stories per week (the livestream story, main weekly story and Thursday bonus story) I won't have much time to go through all of my back catalogue to create too many sets, but will be doing enough stories that perhaps 3 or 4 times per year I can create volumes of stories from the preceding months...
@@DanJonesHypnosis RUclips algorithms seem to ruin everything. Sorry your channel's been negatively impact on your channel. I would love if your channel were more popular too, you deserve the recognition, I've told some people about it!
I'd forgotten to say that while I would love your channel to grow, part of me worries that it would make the live stories too chaotic, in which case I'd completely understand you forgoing them, though I do really enjoy the interaction.
I worry that too, I can (as other RUclipsr's do) set for paid comments, that stand out and remain visible etc, but I don't like the idea of putting engagement behind a paywall, not everyone can afford to pay and it isn't fair on those who can't afford it.
One thing is that the livestreams are UK time, so that reduces how many people would be in the stream unless I suddenly get lots of UK subscribers. I'm sure when I get to asking for ideas I can ask something like just posting one idea once each just so that I can get the list and if I have too many ideas to reasonably work with in a single story I could say something like I will write down the first 20 or so I see.
In relation to just interacting, I can easily pick a day and perhaps (ideally for me!) a slightly earlier time just to interact, answer questions, maybe ask over the week if there is anything people would like me to talk about, or whether people would just prefer to be able to ask questions generally.
I tried this before, but was essentially talking to myself(!) now I have more people joining me in the livestreams who are engaged, so if I did a dedicated Q&A type stream people may well be up for that separate from the giving ideas and getting a story stream...
Dan can't thank you enough for your very imaginative and wonderful stories.Really so great to fall asleep listening to your soothing voice.Once again thank you Dan so so much and stay safe!😁
So very helpful to turn off busy mind and drift off to sleep. Thank you!
I've always wanted to record a British male accent and read a story at the same time... you did it already. Ty
I have just found this channel and will be trying it out tonight..I've read some reviews it looks promising..fingers crossed x
Well here I go..wish me luck.
Good night all sleep well xx
wonderful nights sleep thank you
Really enjoying these they really work for me and its helped me get my sleep back thank you so much for doing these dan jones ❤
Danm i slept and when i wake up it was still going like 45 minutes in! This work wonder!
This put me to sleep in 5 min. That never happens with me. I did wake up though after two hours of sleep. It's 11pm on Monday night 02-08_2021. I'm going to try again and see if it knocks me out a 2nd time. I'm very happy with the two hours I have gotten already.
Hi Gene. Did it put you back to sleep?
This even helped my sleep paralysis for some odd reason.
it made the incubus fall asleep ...
Do you ever see the old hag or shadow man?
i never see an old hag. it's either a naked man (not in a sexual sense, just neutrally naked) or a girl similar like from the ring (but that's because I m anticipating it too much)
@@bm-ub6zc I've seen a large glowing round face that blinked at me and then disappeared. Also I've seen outside light up as if there was lightning, but it only happened when I wouldn't look directly at the window. Just a couple strange ones during sleep paralysis.
@@Gloomgrave I haven't seen anything like you have. But something tugs my feet really hard. So I try to sleep with my feet curled up so they can't be pulled. Then my arms are pulled really hard.
I finally slept all throughout the night!!I woke up feeling refreshed and brand new!!You should make sleep cds and sale them!!😻
I used to, now it is all for sale as downloads, you can also stream my tracks on streaming services.

The cats on the shrooms
Hey dan I’ve been listening to this particular video for the past week because every time I listen there is this wonderful story and I want to hear the rest but I’ve searched the entire video and I can’t find it so I don’t know if I made it up or it’s a real story on here
@@aubreyhansen4728 what do you remember about the specific meditation? From a bit of a description I might be able to work out which meditation it is.
Sleep story's are 👍 good
My cat loves your cat/unicorn stories so much he wants one "fur" Xmas!
It's a voice I could fall sleep to if there were not long pauses. I fall asleep and wake up with a jolt when the talking resumes.
Love the cat on the boat!
I have a hard time falling asleep. I've been listening to this the past few nights and falling dead asleep very quickly. Thanks!
My turn to fall asleep listening to your stories. let’s see how it goes
Awesome content!! Always turn this on when I’m having trouble sleeping. It isn’t too often, but your stories are a staple for those nights I can’t quite settle down or quiet my mind.
Thank you for the story. Something for a restless mind to concentrate on.
Insomniac HERE - thank you 🙏
Oh extremely hyper person... The last few nights your words really just calm me down man. Thanks a lot! Not only that... But the stories are good more than once. The one with a cat in the Nile is the one I started out with. I love it and I this is my third time. No one has ever been able to calm me down.... I mean I go for 30 hours without sleeping. Not on any drugs whatsoever. Do you write this as you go because.... I'm a writer myself.... It sounds like you just make it up as you go and that is astronomically fantastic.! I mean even if you had a basic script this is still great! Anyways I think you're a very great creator! However you do it!!! And you're helping a lot of people !!!
I create these every Monday evening on my channel during my weekly sleep meditation creation session. During the livestream I ask the viewers for ideas they would like in the meditation, they suggest their ideas in the live chat, I write down the ideas and once I have the ideas written down I say "okay, just take a moment to close your eyes..." And I just crack on with creating a therapeutic meditation on air as viewers watch.
I describe it as just treating the live chat as a client and then do what any therapist does during their therapy sessions. The chat gives out content to turn into therapeutic metaphors (just like a client will talk about wanting to gain perspective, that they are at a crossroads, that they feel tense, that they have been going through rocky times etc), I take these ideas and think what therapeutic metaphors I can come up with to help with at least stress, anxiety and worry (and if something else comes up during the live chat I may include metaphors for this as well, like weight loss, grieving, pain control, immune system functioning, etc) I could create and how these can be turned into a wider narrative that also uses various therapeutic techniques like transitions, sandwiching specific bits of therapeutic work, etc, as well as including some techniques and processes to encourage sleep etc., and linguistic techniques, and then I just create the meditation. I try to promote curiosity and reduce things being too predictable so that hopefully the meditation holds and focuses attention, the same with trying to direct attention to sensory details to help evoke an experience, not just having someone listen along and hope this keeps the person focusing on and engaging with the meditation rather than drifting into their own thoughts or worries etc.
So when I start I have an idea from looking at the list of words I have written down who the character will be (the listener or an animal or a person etc), where the meditation will start, what the objective is for the character and the journey they will go on and the metaphors I will use and how I will link these together and where transitions etc will be, like when the character will dream or pass through a door, or descend steps, or change state in some way etc., and how certain things will have relevance later perhaps or make sense in a different way later. I just don't know, like when doing any therapy session, what words I will use from moment to moment.
In my video descriptions is a link to a demonstration of me doing this on a course I was teaching, where one of the trainee therapists, who I had never met or interacted with before that day and had never worked with until they volunteered for the demonstration you see, volunteers to be worked with in front of the audience, she shares a little about her problem and what she would like to achieve, I ask the audience about what they have observed and share a few of my thoughts before doing what I do in these meditations, taking her ideas and presenting them therapeutically back to her. After this brief demonstration the client and myself answer more questions, so you get an idea from her responses how powerful storytelling in this way can be therapeutically for people. What you see in the video is what I do every week to make these sleep meditations. Every Monday I record them live with viewers ideas, every Tuesday I upload an edited, cleaned up and better audio quality version to RUclips of the sleep meditation recorded live about three weeks earlier.
thank u so much xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thank you 😊
playing this all night helps my nightmares also your voice is the best
I'm glad that it is helpful...
I like these Stories
Thank you this is awesome
You are very kind
Dan! You are the man w/the voice....🙌🏽❤️🙌🏽I have to just talk for hours. Lol oh! Wait! You did! 😍
there needs to be a gameshow where someone can win 1 million dollars if they can listen to an 8 hr dan jones stories video and not fall asleep. actually, it could be 5 million. it wouldnt matter, cuz nobody would be able to win the game anyway. love you dan 👍
One of the most effective ways to get people to sleep, and what therapists often suggest to those seeking therapy for insomnia, is to tell the person to do their best to stay awake. The greater the incentive to try to stay awake the more likely and faster the person is to fall asleep. When working with trends with severe challenging behaviour in children's homes it was common that when the trend refused to go to bed, instead of arguing and trying to force them to go to bed you would say to them, okay, try to stay awake all night, if you can stay awake all night you can have £10... It wouldn't normally take long for them to be fast asleep. When working in parenting I would have parents tell their children that they are sleepy and don't want to miss what they are watching (so they maybe watching a cartoon etc with the child in their bedroom with the child in need) and so if they fall asleep can their child make sure they stay awake to the end of the programme to tell them what happens. Then the parent would relax and pretend to fall asleep (parents often joked they had no problem doing this!) and the child would then try really hard to stay awake, but the harder they try to stay awake the faster they would fall asleep.
thats awesome. its reverse psychology at its finest right there :)
Our brains work in interesting ways... Many people have tried to stay awake for a late night film only to fall asleep just before it starts, yet try to get an early night because you have to be up early only to find yourself hours later still tossing and turning trying to sleep...
@@DanJonesHypnosis That's really interesting!
Haha, you underestimate the power of my Insomnia without melatonin
I thought i could listen but it might as well be the radio, sorry ,but glad it helps some people, thanks
Thank you
Discovered you yesterday....in a 24 hour day....I sleep 2-6hours. Its not helpful....your voice aids sleep.
Thaaaaaaank you kind sir
A 😻 and a 🦄 my kind of story!!!!!
Thank you, I jut had to full uninterrupted sleep cycles.
I love your stories, I love your voice. The spaces in between not so much. When I'm still awake I'm waiting to hear what's next. When I'm asleep, I don't notice. Short spaces are fine but longer than a couple of seconds is too long for me. But no matter, that won't keep me from listening to you.
Thank you dear one, you have a magical talent.
Thanks dan, for helping me sleep 😁
Hello. I'm trying this tonight. My new approach to severe insomnia and anxiety is fun distraction. Hope this works. If so, my request is make more longer ones. Thanks!
I enjoyed falling asleep to ur story. When I woke up to a different story I wanted to listen to it. So it kept me awake. Do u have stories that are only and hour or so long? I enjoyed listening, but I don't want to have it playing all night long.
Yes, this is a compilation of also meditations from 2019, about 4x per year I have enough sleep meditations to create a new all night compilation like this one, but all these sleep meditations are available individually on my channel. I have over 200 sleep meditation sleep stories on my channel from short 15 minute stories to long 90 minute stories. To make it easy to find what you are looking for I have lots of playlists, there are playlists by length of story, playlists by what is in the stories etc. But because I don't recommend listening to playlists, but just using them to find the specific story you are looking for, I create these compilations so that people don't have to use the playlists. I upload a new sleep meditation sleep story every week and create a new compilation video about every three months. All of my sleep stories are also available on streaming and downloads services like Amazon Music, Apple Music, iTunes, SoundCloud and Spotify and on my sleep stories app.
