Normally I don't like to comment on KZread videos but now I really have the urge to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making these sleep storys! Half a year ago I was suffering from insomnia and sleep was something I deeply dreaded every night. I spent quite a while in a mental hospital and got a lot of tips and tricks for a healthy sleep schedule but nothing helped. Then I found your videos and since then a big part of my life has changed: I can sleep again! I am so sorry to admit it but I've never ever gotten past the 5 min mark on your videos, so practically I can't even judge them in their entirety but your voice is just so soothing and kind! From taking hours and sleeping pills every day to a 5 min bed time routine 🥲 What a miracle, you are truly a blessing! Thank you ❤️🙏🏻

I can relate. I have seizures at night so bedtime is terrifying. I get so anxious, I would take Xanax, Benadryl, NyQuil, anything to knock me out. Now, I simply follow a relaxing routine of washing my face, using serums and crawling into bed and immediately putting on her sleep stories. I no longer dread bedtime. It’s changed my evenings and nights completely.

@@AshleyMoore-ir6yu this means so much! Around this time of year people tend to be the most stressed and sometimes I am afraid to view my comments because of the negative messages I receive. It means so much to know my work is helping and I"m so glad you look forward to bedtime-- I struggled with insomnia and sleep anxiety for so long that transforming each night into a mental holiday was what ultimately fixed my sleep cycle as well! Happy holidays and wishing you the best in 2024!

tonight, sweet peaceful sleep everyone 😴

I loved the holiday theme in this bedtime story. The transitions from a New England village to a 19th-century prairie gathering, and then to a Tiki Christmas in Hawaii, were magical and immersive. It's a perfect listen for the festive season. Thank you!

Blessings ❤

Mele Kalikimaka, Michelle Thank you for taking me back to Hawaii! I visited 10 years ago. I first heard Mele Kalikimaka as a little girl. My dad had these heavy old records called 78’s. We listened to Bing Crosby accompanied by the Andrew’s Sisters sing “that’s the island greeting that we say to you in the land where palm trees sway!” Happy Healthy New Year to you and yours! 🎄 🎉

Merry Christmas Michelle, I'm Australian Christmas is the height of summer here ( in parts that have 4 seasons. In the FAr Northern regions, there are only 2 seasons. The rain season and the dry season. Christmas is the rain season. Our Christmas dinner is often potato salad, Cold sliced meat ( Chicken loaf is my fave ), and seafood Shirmp or prawns as we call them here.

I always find myself pining for different Christmas experiences and this story was a great way to explore them!

Will this be your last story this year Michelle? Wouldn't expect you to do new stories over Christmas and New Year x

All this teleportation I’m easily confused. What I was able to listen to which is just the first story it is charming. You telling me that I’m feeling a certain way and me fighting it until I just surrender to it and yes believe it. You’re way too powerful. I’ll listen later to the rest. While having my house hammered with rain and wind. Now to segue I watched the Barbie movie I recommend it it starts off very humorous gets a bit whooly in the middle with too much existential detritus but ends well-very creative. Now where is what I’m looking for here it is the misselto come closer Michelle smooootch- merry Christmas thank you for all your gifts. I’ve been listening to your old stuff lately it’s all good last night was going to the movie theater brilliant concept milk duds and popcorn and a great film good night

@MichellesSanctuary

Haha, well I think this story in some way reflects the way my mind dreams--- from one visual to the next. Absolutely loved that film-- love that you are diving into those old works. Popcorn is part of my bedtime routine at this point.

I assumed you like popcorn I bought a large one when we went to the theater and when I put my hand into it there were only un popped kernels and butter. I plan on going back tonight to see another dual screen performance I’ll bring gourmet toffe extra large

Your voice and stories are so soothing and I was asleep very soon after I started listening to this one. Unfortunately, a rather loud advert woke me up after the video had finished, despite me having the autoplay function off. This seems to happen sporadically with sleep videos on KZread, not just on your channel. I'm not sure if there's anything that can be done about this?

@MichellesSanctuary

KZread changed their policies in November and we creators have no control when this happens. Since listening at bedtime, you can always set a sleep timer on your phone or tv so that it shuts off before the end of the video. I’m so sorry this happened. I also release on my podcast. No end of video ads there ever.
