Welcome to SendMeToSleep, the place to find a good night's rest.

My name's Andrew, I'm here to calm your mind and help you relax into a peaceful night's

sleep.

I'm going to do that by reading you a story.

Tonight I'll be reading Chapters 22 and 23 of the Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux.

In the previous chapter, the Persian and Montjordeschni had just entered Eric's house via the

torture chamber.

This chapter has some themes that some listeners may find unsettling, so if you're not prepared

for this evening, maybe give this one a miss.

And now let's make sure we're ready to fall asleep.

If you haven't already, find yourself somewhere to get cozy, be it in a chair or in your

bed or elsewhere, and make yourself as comfortable as you can be, either sitting up or laying

down, eyes open or eyes closed.

One falls asleep in their own time and in their own way, so as you're on your journey to

sleep tonight, all you'll have to do is listen to the sound of my voice.

And so, let your eyes fall heavy and your breath soften as we settle in for a peaceful

night's sleep.

In the torture chamber, the Persian's narrative continued.

We were in the middle of a little six cornered room, the sides of which were covered with

mirrors from top to bottom.
