Good evening. Imagine how much better the world would be if everyone woke up well-rested every day.

That's why I and the team here at Slumber make the sleepy bookshelf.

You can join us in this mission by supporting the show via our premium feed,

to the entire bookshelf and exclusive bonus episodes. If premium isn't for you, that's okay.

Recommending your favorite episode to a friend or family member is just as meaningful. Thank you so much for your

support and I hope you sleep well tonight. Good evening and welcome to the sleepy bookshelf,
