    Hi, Otis! I am a kid that is 11 years old and have been having trouble with sleeping but this podcast along with Dreamy has been helping me tremendously! Keep up the good work! Personally, I would love for you to read one of my all time favorites, Lord of the Flies by William Golding. Have a great day!

Thank you.

    Otis, Thank you very much.
    Took me a while to find,
    that right tone..,
    to relax my mind,
    & get much needed shut eyes.
    Your voice is softly hypnotic,
    just the thing I need
    to ease my anxiety, & stress.
    I loathe sleep aids.
    You are the right antidote
    I was lookin for.
    Most use their
    t's, & s's too strongly.🙄
    Appreciate you most greatly,
    for taking the time
    to help us insomniacs😴💤💤😑

    So glad you don’t whisper and actually speak in a low voice. Thank you thank you- I’m going to past out now. 😴
    Love the Hawthorne- If you take requests- Please do some longer/epic/ballad poems! Like Tennyson’s Evangeline, and Lady of Shalott, or Noyes’ The Highwayman, which has some really rhythmic parts. Maybe Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams by Sylvia Plath for more short stories. Grateful for the great lit choices as well as your voice. I think I’d sleep myself straight to heaven if you read sections of Thoreau’s Walden.
