Good evening.

Welcome to send me to sleep, the world's sleepiest podcast.

I'm your host, Andrew.

I'm here to help calm your mind and send you into a peaceful night's sleep.

Tonight, I'll be reading the twelfth and final book from Meditations of Marcus Aurelius.

I hope you've enjoyed these philosophical ideas and found them useful in getting a good night's rest.

If you'd like to hear more philosophy, I'd love to hear from you.

Email Andrew at sendmetersleep.com and give me any and all feedback you have on the podcast.

So, without further ado, let your eyes fall heavy and your breath soften.

As we settle in for a peaceful night's sleep.
