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.

Got a nice new, lovely bedtime story for you tonight. And right before we get to it,

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. It's always been easy for me to dwell on problems instead

of solutions, especially when I hit the pillow at night and start commiserating and catastrophizing

without really thinking about solutions to those problems. I know now it's because I just didn't

have the tools. But after years of therapy, I feel that I know how to change my mindset and solve

problems rather than letting them torment me. The relief of that has changed my life and going to

a therapy made that possible. Well BetterHelp is online therapy that offers video,

phone, and even live chat only therapy sessions. It's really convenient, it's affordable,

and it works. When you want to be a better problem solver, therapy can help you get there.

And for anyone who doesn't know, all these names that I just read are brand new patrons of sleepy

like. So, if sleepy is maybe out to get a better night's rest and wake up more fresh the next day,

consider going to patreon.com and donating even a dollar a month. It goes a really long way.

And if $5 a month, you get access to over 50 extra poetry episodes that are not on the regular

podcast feed, which you would love, they're very, very rhythmic and nice. And but no matter how much
