Tonight’s reading comes from, Natural History of Intellect. This book was published in 1893 and written by famed essayist, lecturer and poet, Ralph Waldo Emerson.  My  name is Teddy and I aim to help people everywhere get a good night’s rest. Sleep is so important and my mission is to help you get the rest you need. The podcast is designed to play in the background while you slowly fall asleep. Bore You to Sleep is a sleep podcast that features calming narration and boring bedtime stories to help you fall asleep soundly. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has shared their appreciation with me over the past week. First and foremost, a special thank you goes out to the new sponsors on Patreon. It is the monthly subscriptions that sustain the production of this podcast, providing solace not only to you but also to those in need.

Additionally, I appreciate every individual who reached out to me through the website. Amber, I'm delighted to hear that the podcast has been a source of comfort when nothing else would suffice.
