I think this is my favourite story, it calms my anxiety and helps me relax. I found out I have thyroid cancer a year ago and just recently found out it spread to my neck it has caused me sleepless nights and stress, these stories are such a saving grace from the world and help me to disappear and relax thank you so much ❤

I wish I could stay awake long enough to hear the entire stories ❤! This guy is amazing!

It's much better to be read to slowly like this. That way, I don't have to focus so hard on the story and can let my imagination unravel. It's wonderfully relaxing even if I don't drift off to sleep.

Hello i just wanted to say your storys help me fall asleep i have Nightmares regularly and you help me alot with falling asleep i just wanted to thank you

Book Store - Part 3 or 4? Suggestion- Hi Stephen, there’s a book store in Ashville, NC (been a few years, hope it’s still there) that would make a great addition to these stories. There is a cozy restaurant that serves snacks like smoked trout dip with cheese crackers, the best chocolate cake in the world, hot chocolate, ciders, coffee and wine. There are open rooms upon rooms upon rooms with huge bookcases that create cozy individual spaces within the huge space. One “room” has a unique antique bed that you can sit in AND it is actually suspended from the ceiling. There are big over stuffed couches that people read and recline on. There are spaces for two and spaces where people gather to talk and drink wine. The BEST part of this bookstore with thousands of books is that well behaved pets are allowed! I took my baby (dog), sat on a comfy couch and had a wonderful time. There is also the owner’s dog that welcomes people and makes the rounds. There’s a sweet cat that hangs out on one of the upstairs rooms that has an outdoor balcony with hammocks. I’ve seen lots of people napping here. Everyone wanders, finds a book or a story in the many paintings and artwork, and then people come back together like pirates to share their booty with each other. This sometimes results in taking someone off to show them something wonderful and unique and then coming back. My baby boy Cody is a sweet West Highland Terrier and poodle mix who loves to cuddle with me at night. He loves the sounds of rain, a crackling fireplace AND your stories! Me too! I think people sleep best with the exact right pillows- made especially for them- and their perfect sweet furry cuddle baby. I can imagine as the staff picks up the wine glasses or small plates, that they could “tuck in” their overnight guests with one of the many warm cozy throws that lay across the sofas, chairs, hammocks and beds. Sweet dreams.

I love the stories but can’t stay asleep so could you make an 8 hour compilation?

I just need to say, thank you so much for your videos. Your the only reason I’ve been sleeping while grieving this past week. I lost my dog and I’ve been completely broken, but your videos are allowing me to have peace at night:)

Hello to everyone and to the narrator of this cozy Bookshop Story hope you all are doing well. I enjoyed the magical bookshop Story with the soothing rain sounds. Very cozy with earphones on. I myself is a bookworm. I would of love spending the night in the cozy Bookshop listening or reading stories. The old lady created a cozy place for the readers The Bookshop of sleep. Sleep tight everyone.

I start a new job tomorrow - this is always my go-to when I have a lot buzzing in my brain, so will be the one tonight ❤🤞🏼

I sleep so well with your stories. Your voice is so relaxing and soothing. Thank you.

I just found this & I initially watched this just to calm myself down during an anxiety attack. Your voice is so soothing that I was able to chill.

Thank you. I don't remember being read to as a child, but you have made up for anything I missed as a child. You make the night something to look forward to.

As a young child, I would fall asleep to bedtime stories about fantasy realms, like The Hobbit. Never did stop finding bedtime stories more soothing than any other sleep sounds. Now, I fall asleep to bedtime stories told by a lovely gentleman with a voice like a kindly elven druid gathered round a campfire. I listen to a few sleep story/meditation channels, but I've probably shared yours the most. Thank you for your wonderful stories and your beautiful voice ❤ If you're ever looking for requests, I would love if you could do a story about dragons flying through the night sky, or similar. Fantasy books brought me up believing I could raise a cool rock into a baby dragon, and that even if it was just in my imagination, that didn't make it any less real or healing to me.

Libraries and bookshops are some of the most wonderful places on earth. You spoil us, dear Stephen

This has helped my racing thoughts that I’ve battled for 25 years. More than any medication, supplement, or routine I’ve ever done. Thank you❤

Hi Stephen, back to the sleep bookshop! My favourite ❤ Has anyone asked for a cozy caravan with rain on the roof, going about its travels? Julia x Many thanks

I love bookshops

Your videos never fail to knock me right out. You have an amazing voice, and these stories are extremely well done. Thank you for helping me to get a good night's sleep. ❤️

I love this story, and I can't wait to listen to part 2. The trouble is, I still can't get through part 1 as I keep falling asleep! 😆😆😆 Brilliant 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Yay new one. Thank you for making sleep something to look forward to instead of dread

Goodnight my sleeping pill. ❤

The sleepy bookshops are my favorite 😍 😴

This story is such a favorite of mine, nightyy people :)

Oh snap!! A new Stephen Dalton Sleep Story 🌙💫✨💛 I feel like the luckiest girl in the world!! I’ll try to leave a reaction video on my channel as well … truly appreciative of your mighty gifts and the fact that you share them so freely with us here on KZfaq. Thank you, friend. You have gotten me through a dark chapter of my life and I won’t soon forget that.

Stephen, your voice is my favorite. I listen to Thomas sometimes but I prefer yours with rain sounds. There's just something special about the way your words fall soft and slow. Thank you.

Please do one in the rainforest.😊

Always love the intro. Never boring. I tell everyone. You got me through major surgery and you still are the most important part of my evening. Words can't express how much you have and continue to soothe my ptsd. You are only just beginning and I can't wait to watch you excel. You have something unique. I'm lucky to have found you. Hours of anxiety gone. Thank you eternally.

I have loved reading, starting in my early years at school. School was hard for me I was bullied and was happier out in the bush free ranging with my brother. During school breaks I would go straight to the library were bullies could give me a hard time because of the adults there I already had a great imagination so I thank my bullies now I became A very good reader and was asked to be a school Liberian thank you for taking me back there. Books took me places I would never go too.my children and grandchildren love books as well. Poetry was also a love of mine. 😊🦋❤️

This oddly made my bed feel comfortable, and the store sounds like a Tardis. 😊

I struggle really heavily with catastrophic thinking and it really has effected me and my daily life, especially when Im trying to sleep. On some nights Ive been lucky to get (a continuously interrupted) 4 hours of sleep. Then about 5 months ago I began listening to your stories. Your voice is so soothing and your reminder that I am safe along with your count downs of relaxing the body have made it so I can shut my brain off, listen to a beautifully read story, and get 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night. I can’t thank you enough for truly doing the necessary work of helping those of us who struggle with mental illness. Your stories put me to sleep quickly and honestly have helped with my dreaming too. Thank you my friend🩷 will continue listening as long as you make videos.

Lovely to listen to...thank you. I would like to hear a story about Native American myths and legends please.

I finally subscribed. I have played 4 or 5 of these stories in recent nights... but I'm always asleep before the story! 😄 That's a good thing. I have trouble sleeping. You are a blessing to me!

Thank you so much. I thought I had sleeping issues until I started listening to you. I fall asleep so fast ❤

Stephen. Thank you. My wife passed away in January. Sleeping has become very difficult for me since then. Your stories and Playlists have helped me tremendously

Dear Sir, thank you for these stories. They really help my insomnia. I love all your stories. Thank you again.

Revisited this story. I like the rain sounds. Very calming.

Thank you so very kindly for these wonderful story videos. Because of you, I have had 6 months of the best sleep of my life. Insomnia stands no chance against you, Sir, and I say that as the highest compliment I can possibly give. Thank you.

My dear Stephen, you have graced me with your velvety voice on so many nights, please I beg you to make one of these full of poetry and I’ll be your best friend.

You are the true Doctor of sleep. Doctor sleep!

When I was little and had panic attacks my mom used to do the colored breath technique with me and it helped calm me down. Thank you for bringing back this memory ❤

You are the only thing that can make me fall asleep. More than melatonin, sleeping pils, benadryl. Your sleepy voice and the cosy stories. Thank you. Huge impact

Appreciate everything your team does. I’d love stories leading to stormy weather .

It strikes me, reading these comments, what a community of good people this is. All over the world, we listen to these sweet innocent stories, together. Maybe there's hope for the world.

I keep coming back to the bookshop its my favourite

Just drank my sleepy tea, now time for a story to sleep

Thank you ❤ especially for the extra rain

Thanks!

Best sleep meditation ever

I always wanted to open a magical, wonderful bookshop. Love this❤😍

Some night I will skip the relaxation exercize and actually hear the story. 🎉

I really like this story with the perfect rain sounds. Not too loud, just gentle. Perfect. Thank you so much. I’m enjoying your stories so much. I’m healing from coming off an SSRI that caused damage to my nervous system and it’s been a Very difficult last 3 years. I’m so happy I have found you and your stories. Your voice is soothing and calming. 🤎📖🤎📖🤎📖bless you for all you do.

So I tested these today as have been poorly and needed to nap through the day. Can confirm, these stories are 100% effective everytime and possibly a little addictive too lol Really soothing on a horrible day, thank you

I love your stories .❤ You do a great job with your stories.

It's the most beautiful sleep story I've ever heard! Helps me to fall asleep peacefully after stressed day. Thank you, Stephen, you're doing wonderful job. I would love to hear more stories about sleepy, rainy mountains, forests and maybe more stories about cozy untraditional shops as this one😊

I just found your channel a week ago. Your channel really does help me sleep, I don't sleep very well normally nearly everyday but finding this channel has changed my sleep pattern... thank you

As soon as I hear ur words ..I connected...I love love love anything to do with stories like this lady n ur story xxx

Am loving ❤ you setting me off to sleep. I have suffered badly since l lost my son l struggling with sleeping really bad . Thank you ❤

Hi Stephen! I absolutely love this series. Part 1 and 2 are my favourite of the magical series. I listen to them over and over. They calm me down and truly help me with a better sleep. Ive tried so many different thing's to sleep but your stories help me relax so much and are just so wonderful to listen to. I truly appreciate all of the hard work you put into all of your stories and love listening to them! I cannot wait for more to keep coming out!

I love the ones with magic involved. Helps me get my mind off of the real world. These help my anxiety and sleeplessness soooo much. I recommend this channel to so many.

You channel sleep magic 🎆✨

This puts me to sleep every time! I wake up in the middle of the night and it puts my right back to sleep! Usually it takes me an hour to fall back asleep!❤

I always forget to comment 😏I listen to your videos EVERY night.I love them .im usually asleep before they end completely . Thank you . I broke my lower lower back three weeks ago and thank goodness I’m not in pain and I will heal in a few more weeks. I look forward to bed time so my brace comes off. So your stories help me relax and sleep 👍😍💤💤💤💤

Magnificent story and story teller! Love the idea of a bookshop for sleep beds and all …and then comes soft rain 🌧…I feel slightly sleepy 🥱✌️💜

Stephen - bless you for these videos - they are a godsend for me! I recently lost my husband and was leaving the TV on all night for company 😔not very good for my sleep. Your videos with a timer on the TV are exactly what I needed. Thank you 🙏🏻

What an absolutely delightful story. So very grateful for your channel as I have been struggling with not sleeping more than approximately 4 hours of sleep a night for past 17 years. This is so soothing and magical. What a kindness you're offering. 🙏💕🕊️

A year on and this is still my favorite one. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve listened to it. ❤

Greetings, Stephen! I often listen to your delighful stories, however I subscribed just now. I'm not English native speaker, sometimes I have some problems, listening to stories in English. But your stories are cozy and clearly understandable for me. Thank you so much for your art!

Dear Stephen, you might want to know that a lot of us like to have rain sounds etc in the background so perhaps you could do options for every story , a duplicate, so we have the option. We love your stories but I only like the ones to go to sleep to with rain sounds or other similar, like train, car or bus, fans, ocean, hope that helps....

Cheers thank you Steve for you contribution to many listeners, your voice is very soothing, it certainly has its magical ways to help fall asleep, again and again, night after night, a big thank you!

I love 💕 this story of 📕 books 📚 take you to a different world 🌎 I love 💕 books 📕 thank you 🙏🏼 Steven your the best 😌

I have been an insomniac since I was 10 years. So many sleep test and meds and still at 60 still an insomniac. I found you by accident.

This is my third time listening to the story and I still don’t know how it ends

Thank you so much Stephen… your stories are the only reason I fall asleep at night and this is one of my favorites. You are a gift and a blessing ♥️🙏🏻🥰

finally a new one 😭 it's 5am and i still couldn't sleep. thank you so much for a new upload ❤

Someone here suggested more rain at end of story sounds pease 🙏 this is why I keep coming back to this Book store because of this and it’s about people wanting to sleep as well I also love Tent Rain one as well Thank you so much ✨🩵✨

❤I love your sleep stories & they help me every night. Your voice is very calming & therapeutic. Thank you for sharing your gift! 😴 ✌ 🙏🏼

I fell asleep about 5 minutes after the initial relaxation countdown. Great work!

I love the bookshop of sleep, and the magic carpet best of all so far. Thankyou for these.

Best night story

I thanked God for you last night. I truly believe this is a gift from above for people like me, who sleep lightly and who think too much. I'm so grateful.

Thank you. 1:23

This is a wonderful sleep story. Obviously, everyone has specific stories that work particularly well. This is my favorite. I have never made it to the end of the story, being fast asleep by the time the villagers select their books. I guess it is the combination of the content of the story and the marvelously soothing and relaxing voice of Stephen Dalton that affects me most. Congratulations Stephen

Thank you. I'm having difficult time sleeping, but you've helped me..

Fell asleep yet again so quickly woke up luckily you were still saying calming words camping and I drifted straight off again thankyou

I love your stories. I use them nightly to destress and fall asleep. Thank you!!!

Thank you for the wonderful stories! The ocean sounds and rain sounds are wonderful!!

Thank you Stephen. How magical and how appreciated

Love this story. I have listened to it several times but never heard the end of it😊😊

I've listened to this story 3 times. The first 2 I had literally no idea what it was about because I fell asleep 😂 so thanks for that! The third time I heard it all & no offense but It's not my favourite story 🤭but your voice makes me well sleepy! I'm totally into your sleepy voice though... I think it could get addictive! 🥱

❤

I love the ones about sleep. Like the hotel of sleep or city of sleep. Thank you for helping me sleep ♥️

I have tried to listen to this 3 times now and never get to hear the story 😂. I actually call this a success because as much as I want to hear it, I really need good sleep and I can always count on you to help with that. Thank you! 😊😊

Forever my favorite. Thank you

Thank you so much for your stories, I’ve been listening to them for a few months now. They have really helped me fall asleep and it means so much to me to have these. This one is my favorite so far, I’ve listened to it many times. Thank you Stephen. ❤

i love your videos so so much!! i fall asleep to them every night :,) it would be amazing if you would make a video about a medieval festival/feast in a castle or a story about a magical aquarium maybe with ancient creatures from all different time periods 🫣

I have done much trouble sleeping and hope this helps me too

Stephen Dalton is 🔛🔝🔥🔥🔥

Thank you So much for your kindness, care and comfort. There’s no one like you 🙏🏻

I love listening to this story I always go back to it....keep up the great work

Love the bookshop and so many of your recordings. Thanks for helping me get better sleep. ❤
