Lovely podcast
Hey! My name is Livia and i really enjoy the bedtime stories. I feel like they have helped me get to sleep faster. What i like about how your podcast is the way you structure them. I like that you have a longer intro where you talk about your blog and thank the people who joined the Patreon! And i also think the breathing exercise is very lovely. Thank you for the joy you bring me when i listen to the stories.
It's a Dream listening to your Podcast!!!!
I go to Sleep Every Single Night listening to you, your Voice is Amazing, So Calmly and Relaxing, I drift off Every Night.... š“š¤š Thank you š
Great storytelling and content
Great soothing voice. Definitely helps calm the mind. I love all the old stories from around the world from my childhood days. I donāt usually make it through one story and wake up 10 in then have to go back the next nightš.

š¤© Amazing & Thank you
I rarely review anything, but this podcast is amazing! I have enjoyed every episode and I also love the intro, hearing about the mountains, the creek, the wildlife etc. Thankyou so much for doing this podcast. I suffer with anxiety & depression (and possibly undiagnosed ADHD), so falling asleep is hard. This podcast has helped calm my mind down so much before bed, and Iām forever grateful ā¤ļø

The best podcast
So I have to sleep with bg noise and this helps me so much. Also on the newest stories itās title is ib and little Christina, my name is Christina. Anyway so soothing
You somehow make insomnia not unbearable
I know that sounds a little dramatic. Fact is that Iāve had insomnia since I turned teen and have now spent 2 decades chasing this mythical thing called a good nightās sleep. All of the different things I listen to (movies, songs, stories, meditations etc) are in a lottery of what will win that night to get me to sleep. There are sooo many ways you can listen to a story these days, trust me, Iām pretty much an expert. But for me, now I only listen to Erik for sleep stories if thatās what my brain wants that night. He makes me feel calm and safe, and his voice is such a delight to listen to. I usually find myself getting agitated when Iām not asleep after hours of lying in bed, frustrated that Iām going to be exhausted again tomorrow. But somehow, Erikās story telling doesnāt make me feel that way. Only his! Heās special, Iāll tell you that. I can lay there listening, and because I feel calm and warm and comfortable, my body and mind are resting, and Iām genuinely enjoying a beautiful story told so wonderfully that Iām actual content even if Iām not dozing off as quickly as Iād like. If I have to be laying awake, unable to fall asleep, I want to be laying awake listening to Erik tell me a story.

Just Dreamy
I have just recently discovered your podcast , and I absolutely love it ! Your calming words from your cabin are just what I need to relax and fall asleep! My favorite part is the beginning when you talk about the nature experiences you have . I love that you share your personal stories . I could listen to you talk about your life at the cabin for hours ! Thank you for sharing yourself and your voice ! I really appreciate you and all you do to help me sleep !
Best bedtime story podcast
Hands down the best bedtime story podcast out there. So much good content in the back log and new stories coming out constantly! Ericās voice is perfect for relaxing. I can never get to the end of a story because it works like a charm to put me to sleep!

10/10 Nothing but LOVE!
This podcast is hands down THE BEST bedtime podcast around. I struggled sleeping almost every single night, I listened to many different podcasts but nothing compares with Listen to Sleepā„ļø. . Thank you so much Eric for putting the time and effort into making these podcasts. Even my family members know how much I love it! I refer to Eric as 'Kind Sir'šŲ so every night before falling asleep my husband asks if I'm listening to my 'Kind Sir' podcast and of course the answer is always YES! . I wanted to become a member of parteon and Listen to Sleep Plus to support the podcast but unfortunately thatās not possible for me because I live in Iran and itās not possible for us to pay online for foreign stuff (sad) but I hope one day I can!

Gentle and Calming!
Unlike similar podcast, Eric is also a great voice actor so it really makes his story so much more interestimg and more like those bedtime stories that our parents used to read to us when we were little.

Best sleep podcast Iāve found!
I absolutely love this podcast!! Since Iāve moved back onto campus itās helped me so much to just relax at night amidst the chaos of school and daily stresses. Erikās voice is so soothing, and he picks such a great variety of stories. He really puts a lot of thought into these podcasts, and itās evident in his reading. You can even request stories which is so sweet as well. Highly, highly recommend!

My favourite way to end the day, everyday.
I love the wide range of different stories and always find the updates around your cabin really peaceful and it sets a great tone for the mind to just drift away using the imagination. Thank you for your work.
Night night
Erikās soothing voice relaxes me into sleep so quickly. Iāve never heard the ending of any story the first time as Iām fast asleep. Thank you, Erik!

Thank you
I suffer from severe anxiety and depression and find it very difficult to sleep sometimes. The quiet makes my mind go a million miles a minute. Iāve tried everything from sound machines to hypnosis. Iāve been sleeping with the TV on for yearsā¦much to my husbandās dismay. Your podcast has changed my life. Sounds dramatic, but your voice and choice of stories, somehow calms my brain and helps lull me into a calm and relaxed state. My partner finally gets to sleep in a dark and quiet room. Problem isā¦he wants to hear your stories to fall asleep now too. š I finally understand the power of a bedtime story or lullaby. Keep em coming! Youāre killing it.
My Go-To App for falling asleep
The last thing I do every night is turn on āListen to Sleepā, even after listening to some of my other podcasts or reading a book. Erik has such a soothing voice and he tells the best stories! Itās just what I like falling asleep to. I usually have to listen to each story more than once because I never hear the end of the story before falling asleep. I also enjoy when he drops in a few updates on whatās going on with his and Joeās life in the mountains.

Only thing that helps me sleep.
Iāve tried many podcasts, every playlist on Spotify, different background noise, but for some reason the soothing deep voice and the way these stories are told is mezmerising. Iām usually asleep before the story ends, but I love getting to the end and hearing āgoodnightā whispered. šš¼
A big Thank You from New Zealand
I so enjoy your podcast, I set the timer so it will stop at the end of an episode but only get through maybe the first 10mins because it takes me a few nights to actually finish a story :) I found that other story tellers have the back ground music too loud or have it all the way through a story and is way to distracting for me to relax and drift off. Love your stories and your soothing voice Erik. Many thanks for helping me have a good nights sleep and if I do wake up during the night I just start playing your story again and have no trouble getting back to sleep...thanks to you! Take care
Love Erikās voice
I donāt always fall asleep, but listening to a story is way better than half the thoughts running through my mind!

So comforting
I love the little personal glimpses we get at the beginning of the pod casts- makes it seem like and old friend is reading to you. Love the stories and your soothing voice, lulling me to sleep. Finally, I can sleep like a baby!

100% success rate
Erikās podcast does exactly what it says on the tin. Iāve been really struggling to switch off at night and since Iāve discovered Erikās podcast I actually look forward to bedtime. His voice is magical and the intros have painted such a vivid picture of his cabin and life that I feel like heās an old friend. I cannot recommend trying these wonderful stories enough. I can now guarantee Iāll fall asleep within 30 mins every night. Iām in debited to Erik for this most precious gift.

Ahhh ā¦ this is the one!
Iāve listened to a lot of sleep story-type podcasts, and some helped a bit but most didnāt really. I canāt be just bored to sleep! If itās boring, my going-at-the-speed-of-light brain keeps yammering. Because itās not engaged with something else. But this one combines Erikās amazingly soothing, clear voice with stories you want to listen to. And, then, because Iām tired, I still fall asleep vs. thinking myself into wide awake status again. Even Erikās intro about life at the cabin in northern California, his invitation that this is your time to do this and nothing else (because yes Iāll still think about what I *need* to do or *should* do), etc. help me relax and feel rested/ready to sleep. This continues to evolve over time and just gets better and better. Fan for life!

Great podcast!!!
I listen to the podcast when I go to bed. I'm always having trouble falling asleep. And this podcast helps me very well. I didn't finish the stories yet. Half way I fall asleep to the soothing voice of this podcast.
The best podcast to help sleep Iāve
This podcast is so relaxing and its rare to find a voice as good as Erikās. Itās extremely comforting and does help with managing those anxious thoughts that often come at night and make getting off to sleep harder. I love hearing the updates from the cabin at the beginning before the story too. Would highly recommend!

Love this podcast!
Iāve listen to a few different podcasts and this is by far my favorite for falling asleep. The narrator and creator of this podcast is very genuine individual who pool stories from his own imagination and his life and tells them with authenticity that one can feel. Despite being interested in the story, his voice is so relaxing that I always find myself falling asleep which is the point but one of these days maybe Iāll actually hear the end of the story. š. highly recommend!
