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 readings come from the Rural Life of England, written in 1838 by William Howard.

We will take a walk through the English countryside and appreciate it for its uniqueness and beauty.

My name is Teddy and I aim to help people everywhere get a good night's rest so they can have a productive day and achieve whatever they need to achieve.

I read a different story every episode to help you get a good night's rest.

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

Every episode tells a different story,

and you're welcome to listen to whichever one works for you.

Special thank you to iTunes listeners, Coco Bogo and Sailhut.

Also, special thanks to Mary Thompson for your kind message through the website. I'm glad this podcast is helping people everywhere get a

good night's rest. My mission is to continue to help people get the sleep they need.

I do require your help though, if you would be so kind.

I'd love for you to jump into your iTunes or podcast player of choice,

subscribe and leave a review.

You'd be surprised at how helpful this is in allowing me to help more people get a good night's rest.

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