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 Master Rockefeller's Voyage, written by William Claire Russell and published in 1913.

This is the book's fifth edition and follows the journey of a young man named Dick. 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 to help you get the rest you need.

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

For those of you 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.

Thank you to everyone who shared their words of gratitude with me during the week.

Whether through the website or by leaving a review in your podcast app,

your messages mean the world to me.

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

This is why you'll hear a quick ad at the beginning of each episode.

It helps generate financial support for the creation of the podcast.
