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.

We got a really nice snoozy bedtime story for you tonight. A short story by the author of

Little Women. But before we get to the story, a word from our sponsor, BetterHelp.

For 10% off your first month, go to betterheelp.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 I just start commiserating and catastrophizing without really thinking about

solutions to those problems. And I know now it's because all those nights that I did that,

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. And the relief of that has changed my life.

And going to therapy is what's made that relief possible. BetterHelp is online therapy that offers

a video, phone, and even chat only therapy sessions. That's convenient, that's affordable, and it works.

So when you want to be a better problem solver, therapy can get you there.

And that's betterheelp.com slash sleepy. Be nice to your brain, it deserves a man, so do you.

I'll put a link for this in the description of the show.

And now I get to thank our brand new patrons on patreon.com.

Ella Wilkinson, Margot Dittmer, Katie O'Connell, and a really, really big shout out to Jacob Ramirez,

who has become a patron of sleepy and is active and deployed in the military. And says,

I'd sleepy help some go to sleep at night. So I want to thank you, Jacob. And with veterans day,

just having happened, I'd also really like to thank anyone else who has served in the military.

And yeah, I really hope this show continues to help you get a better nights rest.
