Insomnia be gone

Love love love this. The voice modulation, the pace, the pausing, the background sounds… well choreographed to put you to sleep in the best way. If I don’t listen to it every night I struggle getting to sleep. If I wake through the night I put it on and back to sleep I go.

Dead Boring

The reader is so painfully slow & the contents so dull & drawn out. Better suited to a cemetery audience.
