I just collect books that I promise to eventually read and most times it takes ages to get to them. I figured I could work while listening, but he’s too much for me.

      I am prone to nightmares. When I listen to these kinds of bedtime stories I'm asleep within a few minutes and for whatever reason, it's not as if my brain is dreaming about what I'm listening to because I never remember the story and my dreams never reflect the story that is playing at the time. In fact, when I listen to stories, I have no nightmares. When I don't, it's more likely I'll have one. He is so calming and his voice is just so soothing, it doesn't matter the story. It is always good.
