Hi, I'm Karissa Vacker and welcome back to Sleep Wave, a podcast where we let waves of relaxation wash over you through original sleep meditations and hypnosis

created to help you fall asleep tonight. And don't worry if you don't hear the end of an episode.

I encourage you to drift off whenever you're ready. Before we get started on tonight's episode,

I'd like to say thanks again for all of those great ratings and reviews you guys have left us on Apple Podcasts and some of the other networks too.

Tonight's shout out goes to Carlos, who has been suffering with neuropathy and insomnia.

Since listening to Sleepwave, though, he is always asleep before the end of the episode

and wakes up refreshed and ready to go.

We're so happy you're sleeping better, Carlos.

So if you too find that sleep has come easier since listening to Sleep Wave,

and you've not yet reached out to us,

please feel free to let us know via their reviews on Apple

podcasts. We read them every day, and your ratings and reviews help us reach even more people

who need a little help with their sleep right now. I've never loved scary movies, haunted houses,

or ghost stories. Growing up, my imagination was always running wild,

and the worlds I created while writing or drawing or playing with friends

seemed as real to me as this one.

Things intentionally designed to scare me

always veered into feeling too real to be fun.

So it might surprise you to know that I love Halloween.

If you love this show, start a free trial of Sleepwave Premium tonight.
