Hello, welcome to the Bore You to Sleep podcast, the podcast that will hopefully help you get to sleep.

I am going to read an open source book, one that is not particularly interesting, but one that is

hopefully boring enough to get you to sleep.

Tonight's reading comes from The New Democracy by Walter Vroomen.

Published in 1897,

the book focuses on the events leading up to the U.S. presidential election

in the year 1900.

While I don't have a personal allegiance to any political party in U.S. politics,

it's interesting to see the similarities between what's happening today and what was taking place 120 years ago. My name is Teddy,

and I aim to help people everywhere get a good night's rest.

Sleep is so important and my mission is to help you get the rest that you need.

I am grateful that you have chosen this podcast to assist you with your sleep.

It is designed to play in the background while you slowly fall asleep.

Special thanks to Cast Box listener,

Alion McMickle, for your lovely review on the Cast Box app.

Thank you also to all the Patreon and anchor supporters that continue to sponsor the show.

It's the support from all of you that allows me to keep bringing out more and more episodes.

If you do find the podcast beneficial, there is a small but hugely helpful favour that you can provide.

Please share the podcast with a friend, and if possible, kindly leave our review in your podcast app.

There are a lot of people out there who are struggling with

sleep and my goal is to help as many people as possible get the sleep that they need. If you

would like, you can also say hello at boyutasleep.com, where you can support the podcast.
