Hi everyone. My name is Otis Gray and you're listening to Sleepy.

A podcast where I read old books to help you get to sleep.

Before we get to tonight's story, I just want to say that this episode is very proudly sponsored by

Purple. This past summer, I know for me personally, it can sometimes feel like the world is working

against you getting a good night's sleep. With the heat with neighbors, partying, cars passing by

all times a night. They give me a tough for me to get some good shuttie. However, my purple mattress

keeps me cool and comfortable and in the deepest of sleeps, no matter what's going on in the world around me.

Purple is made with this grid, a stretchy gel material that's amazingly supported for your back

and legs while cushioning your shoulders, neck and hips. I don't know how it does it, it's just

fantastic, even for side sleepers like me. And it keeps you so cool all night long.

Purple's comfort technology has been changing the mattress game for 15 years now, and it shows.

I have honestly never slept better on any mattress ever. You can ask anyone who knows me, I

talk about it constantly, probably too much, but it really is the best night's sleep I've ever had.

So purple really is comfort for an uncomfortable world. And right now, you'll get 10% off any order
