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.

A speech on the principles of finance.

This speech was written by Victoria C. Woodhull and delivered at Cooper Institute, New York City, Thursday August 3rd, 1871.

My name is Teddy, and I am to help people everywhere get a good night's rest.

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

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

For those of you new to the podcast, it started from my own struggles with sleep. I wanted to create a resource

for others facing similar challenges, and I'm so grateful for the amazing community we've built

together. This podcast is self-made and self-produced, which is why you'll hear a short ad at the beginning of each episode.

These ads, along with support from subscribers and patrons, enable me to keep delivering this podcast for free to those who need it.

If you find the podcast beneficial and would like to support it,

there are a few ways you can contribute.
