Most soothing reading ever

The stories are gentle and Joanne’s voice is so soothing. I am hooked on her podcast now

Love the narrator’s presentation and voice to allow listener to relax and enjoy.

Loved the story selections. Unique choices of tales that are read so beautifully by Joanne D’Amico. Very well done! Looking forward to more !

My favorite sleep aid!

I love Joanne's soft and soothing delivery of simple stories. In Joanne's work there are no jarring volume changes, or jarring cadence changes. Her subject matter is pleasant and never disturbing to me. The stories are simple and interesting, but not so engrossing that they will make my mind fight sleep. Her work promotes calm and peaceful distraction when I wake in the middle of the night with worries. She never allows jarring commercials that can jar me awake with a pounding heart. I feel safe and secure listening to Joanes beautiful voice, with the knowledg that her work will never suddenly blow up the peaceful state that she creates in my mind. Sometimes I would prefer longer stories, but usally she helps me to sleep before I have heard even half of a story, and with the audio book the transition to the next story is seamless, and will not wake me. I highly recommend Joanne's work!

Soothing, stress-free sleep aide

This book is a great tool for quieting my mind and sending me to sleep! As a life-long sleep disordered individual, I really appreciate the care with which the stories were selected and presented. I listen to them frequently and find the repetition very soothing.

A relaxful experience that feels like home

What I like most about this audiobook is Joanne ability to make listeners like me feel immersed in what she reads as if you are there in the events of these stories. You will easily be able to forget about the troubles of your day too. These sleep stories will have you ready to drift off in the most safe way. Listeners won't regret getting this.

A beautiful way to drift into sleep!

I am already an avid lister to Joanne’s podcast drift off and was so excited when I found out that she was releasing audible book. It is the best way for me to not only fall asleep, but to calm my anxiety and wake up ready for the day when I get up the next morning, having been able to sleep well. I have an eye mask with headphones in it and listening to this book with its wonderful stories and the soothing voice helps me get to sleep and go back to sleep if I wake up. Anytime you need to calm down just pull up this audiobook. It is great!

Great for Bedtime

This audiobook is exactly what I’ve been looking for to help me wind down at night. The author’s voice is absolutely perfect—calm, soothing, and steady in a way that makes it effortless to drift off to sleep. The narration feels almost like a gentle conversation, which creates a sense of comfort and relaxation right before bed.

The stories themselves are just the right blend of engaging and restful. They give my mind something soft to focus on without ever feeling too stimulating. I also love that many of these stories can be found on the narrator’s podcast—it feels like a familiar continuation, but the audiobook makes it easy to have them all in one place, ad-free and curated specifically for rest.

If you enjoy quiet storytelling and want a natural way to let go of the day, this audiobook is a must-have.

Reader narrates both this book as well as the Drift Off Podcast

The narrator has one of the best bedtime story voices in the industry. Joanne D’Amico has the right cadence, volume and enunciation to accomplish her goal of reading listeners to sleep. Joanne starts with a mindful pre sleep preparation followed by a soothing cadence to her reading. As a listener to her Drift Off Podcast I was attracted to her book as a means of always having a selection of stories available to help fall asleep.
