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 Cycles of Speculation, written by Thomas Gibson and published in 1907.

This story looks at the nature of investments and the stock market.

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 you need.

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

I hope you have all been well over the past few weeks, while I have taken some much needed

time off with family.

It was a special time and I am feeling refreshed and honoured to continue supporting you.

For those new to the podcast, you may not know that 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. A special thank you to the new subscribers of the podcast and all existing subscribers and

Patreon sponsors.

I also want to thank out all listeners who reached out via the website to share words of

gratitude as well as simply just say hello.

My goal is to keep this podcast free and accessible to everyone.
