    Camping, by a river, with a storm going by maybe, but it's distant, with a fire of course and the creatures and insects night sounds.... Id personally love that so much

    I wish I could shake your hand, sir. Sometimes, I barely make it to the number 1 on your beautifully crafted relaxation session. Please never change that process, you nailed it. I have so many stories to indulge in because I'm usually completely OUT by 2, or 1.
    Thank you for basically curing this man's chronic insomnia.
    Like many others I'm sure can relate, the sorrow and the pain of the natural human condition resonates so loudly when trying to sleep, our fears, regrets and failures. It appears as though, the mind plays a game with an insomniac. But... your stories and your voice provide a cure. Some much needed respite from a hyperactive mind.
    I no longer take Zopiclone or drink to help me fall asleep anymore, thanks to you brother.
    I hope this message finds you :)
    Sincerely and with gratitide,
    Jakey from Somerset, UK

      Hi Jakey, I read your message at a time when I am going through my own human pain as my father is very unwell. It means a lot to me to read your words and for you to take the time to write to me. I’m very happy that you are not drinking or taking meds to sleep and it is my honour to help you. Consider this a virtual handshake. I needed to see your message today. I wish you peace brother 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

      @@Stephen_Dalton I am struggling to find the words. Bless you and thank you for sharing such a raw, real-life story. I can only imagine the pain. Whatever has been, has been. Whatever will be, will be. Just remind yourself how you make so many people so happy.
      It brings me so, so much joy to have been able to give something back. What an honour. I wish you and your father peace, too. I wish you both good health and happiness. Cherish everything and keep your chin up Stephen.
      💙

    Stephen, I am not joking when I say that I was just looking for a river raft sleep meditation yesterday for an afternoon nap. I couldn’t find anything that suited me, and then I get the notification that you have shared one with us! Inexplicably magical and serendipitous?!?
    As a child (and still as an adult), I wanted to experience the peace, relaxation, and romanticized adventure that Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn felt in their journeys around and down the Mississippi River.
    Tonight, with this gift from you, I will get a chance to experience just that.

    Stephen, you are truly amazing. I've been listening to your stories every night for the last year since losing my husband. I have managed to get to a place where I've not needed any sleep medication as I have my tonic right here in the form of your amazing stories. Please know how much we all appreciate the time you spend on these for our benefit. Im sending you back some positivity for what you are going through and wish you and your family well. Thank you 😊 🙏

    A good few weeks back you randomly popped up on here . It was the sleep hotel story and as someone who has never slept the best I was intrigued so that is where it all started . I listen to you every night I have never fallen off to sleep so quick I wish I got to listen to more of the story . Hope is getting to be my favourite as she reminds me a bit of me . I have managed to listen to a bit of them whilst falling off to sleep listening to the little tasks she needs to that also prompted me . You voice to me is now sleep and what a wonderful thing it is . Your voice and your 10 count down is my happy calm place .
    Thank you Stephen 😊❤️😴
