Good evening.

Imagine how much better the world would be if everyone woke up well rested

every day. That's why I in the team here at Slumber make the sleepy bookshelf.

You can join us in this mission by supporting the show via our premium feed,

which will get you add free access to the entire book shelf and exclusive

bonus episodes.

If premium isn't for you, that's okay Recommending your favorite episode to a friend or family member

is just as meaningful.

Thank you so much for your support,

and I hope you sleep well tonight.

Good evening and welcome to this sleepy book shelf

where we put down our worries from the day and pick up a good book.

I'm your host, Elizabeth.

It's wonderful to be here with you tonight.

This evening we are returning to the great Gatsby.

But before that, take some time to unwind and relax.

Take a big stretch wherever you are and feel the tension release from your muscles.

I invite you to join me in some circular breathing.

We are going to inhale through our nose for a count of fall and out through our mouths for eight.

So breathe in through your nose for two, three, four, and out through your mouth, two, three, four.

And out through your mouth, two, three, four. 2 3 4. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

7. 8.
