Not heard a complete story yet

I'm a terrible sleeper but I have been listening to these for several months, and I've yet to hear the end of any of them. I'm asleep long before they finished. The stories are just barely interesting enough that my mind follows along, shutting out the internal monologue of my day and they are full of relaxing soporific phrases and imagery... somewhere along the line I fall asleep every time.

Brilliant!

Clever choice of stories that will put you away! Have never gotten through 10 minutes of listening without dropping off. Hopefully there’s another collection to follow.

Go to!

This is my go to sleep app. I live the soft sounds of the narrator and it’s become the app I used to get to sleep more than any other meditation. It’s the ideal way for an overactive wordsmith brain to get to sleep.

It works!

Honestly, I couldn't tell you the story because I always end up falling asleep within the first 10 minutes. She has a nice voice and tone. I just use it as white noise and it works really well for me to sleep. Sweet dreams everybody 😴

It's a home run!

As an Aussie I did not know that much about baseball. Now I understand.

Really enjoyed it

The story, narration, pace - I enjoyed it and will return to it. As I kept falling asleep while listening, I finally listened to the whole story in the morning. This is up there with my favorites.

no idea what these are about

I've been listening to these for a few months now and have no idea what any of them are really about or how they end.
Listening to a soothing voice and a story just interesting enough to stop me from becoming bored, relaxes my busy brain and helps me fall asleep in minutes.

I highly recommend them, and being an Aussie -- I LOVE CURTIS STONE!! (and his AUSTRALIAN -- not French -- accent!)

10/10 I remember none of it

It fits the brief. I was able to fall asleep. It was probably interesting but not too interesting.

An Awakening

Amazing, I could not believe that pumpkin stew could be a meditation and assist in sleeping. Here it. Can and does.
