Helps Me Sleep

This book is really good when you have trouble sleeping. Through out the book, there are many different types of short stories.

Bedtime Stories

I love theses short but delightful stories. They make for good listening when my mind is racing with worrisome thoughts and I am trying to calm down to go to sleep. Her voice is very soothing.

The Accents are Soothing

I really wish there were more volumes. The English accents are soothing and helps me fall asleep, which is interesting because I have had insomnia for well over a decade now.

I see quite a few negative reviews, if I may suggest, focus on the accent, not the story while your fan lulls you with white noise in the background. I turn this on, turn my A/C down and snuggle into my pillow under the comforter.

Very disappointing and definitely doesn’t do what the title claims it to do.

This series of very short, old stores, read by narrators whose voices are neither soothing or likely to ‘soothe’ anyone’s mind, is not for me.
None of the few stories, or parts of the few stories I bothered to listen to, as they were not relaxing at all, nor were the voices of the various narrators. Why this audio book is called Bedtimes Stories for Stressed Out Adults is a mystery! They just did the opposite as they are, to my mind, anything but what they claim to be. Very disappointing.
