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.

I've got a wonderful kind of childish fairy tale for you to snooze to tonight,

but quickly a word from our sponsor BetterHelp. For 10% off your first month,

go to betterhelp.com slash sleepy and start living a better life today.

Over the last few years, I've learned that the only way I can get truly good sleep is when I take

Feels like I'm taking my brain to the spa each time. Helps me feel more peaceful,

more resolved, more heard and ready for bed when my head hits the pillow at night. BetterHelp

is online therapy that offers video, phone and even live chat only therapy sessions, so you don't

see anyone in camera if you don't want to. It's much more affordable than in-person therapy,

and you can be matched with a therapist in under 48 hours. And now, Sleepy listeners get 10%

off their first month at betterhelp.com slash sleepy. That's betterhelp.com slash sleepy.

Be nice to your brain. It deserves it man, so do you. I'll put a link for the discount in the

show notes here. I would also like to give a big shout out to all of our patrons on patreon.com.

Y'all are so awesome, and I thank you deeply for continuing to support this show.

And for anyone who doesn't know, Patreon is this wonderful site where you can go and support

creators of the work they like directly. So if Sleepy has helped you, maybe you get a better night's

sleep and help you wake up more refreshed the next day, then consider going to patreon.com slash

sleepy radio and donating even a dollar a month. It goes a really long way. At $5 a month, you get

access to over 50 extra poetry readings that are not on the show. And no matter how much you
