We’re Rooting for You Back to School Edition – An Invitation from the Deep, Dark Night

In this deeply personal minisode, Scoots speaks directly to you—especially if you’re a superlistener, someone who falls asleep fast, listens all night, or has been with the show for years.

He shares what’s been going on personally (recovering from surgery, preparing for a big move), and opens up about the emotional toll of asking for support to keep the podcast going. Despite some progress, the truth is clear:

Sleep With Me still needs about 1,000 more superlisteners to step up and support the show on Sleep With Me Plus.

But this minisode isn’t just about numbers—it’s about community, intention, and connection.

Scoots introduces a new way for everyone to participate:

• You can support the show, if you’re able.
• You can root for someone else to support the show.
• You can receive that rooting when you need it most.
• Or… you can do all three.

Even if you’ve decided not to support the show, you’re invited to take part in a quiet ritual of connection—sending out care, hope, and kindness across the deep, dark night to others who are struggling to sleep, just like you once were.

So whether you’re here to help keep the show going or just to be held by it, this minisode is for you.

💜 Thank you for being a part of this sleepy, strange, supportive world.
