My name is Teddy, and I aim to help people everywhere get a good night's rest. I bring this podcast

to you to help you get a good night's rest. It is designed to play in the background as you

You're always welcome to say hello

or support the podcast at bore you to sleep.com.

In the meantime, lie back, relax, and enjoy the readings.
