**Hi Friends, it’s me again. Turns out Swine Flu is quite bad, zero stars, do not recommend.I’m actually mostly fine, I just have a stubborn cough which means my breathing is struggling and my throat is sore most of the time. Obviously, this makes recording impossible, but I’m hoping that in the course of the next week I can start again and get some fresh snoozy stories out to you all.Thanks very much for your patience, I’m very grateful.Chat soonDave**As you settle down to sleep get prepared for the boring details of the activity of the sun, how it was believed in the 1920s how sunspots were formed, the mechanism of how the sun works, and also learn about he inner planets. Even Vulcan, which for a while was speculated to exist closer to the sun than Mercury! Story (01:21) Find Astronomy: The Science of the Heavenly Bodies by David P.

Hi Friends. Apologies, I've been so busy with work the last few weeks I've been struggling to keep up with recording. Last week was a struggle and this week was just nothappening, but I don't want to leave you sleepless. Here's something from earlier this year. In this strange story we pick up with the Duchess and the Empress building worlds with their minds. They then move on to traveling as spirits to our own world. I’m fairly sure you’ll be asleep before the strange adventure ends with a court case about Fortune’s treatment of the Dutchess’s husband Find The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-Worldhttps://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/51783 Supporting Sleepy Time TalesIf you would like to support my work and help keep the podcast available and for free, there are several ways you can support the show.· You can support the show as a supporter on Patreon and receive a host of bonuses including Patron only episodes and special edits https://www.patreon.com/sleepytimetales· If you’re enjoying Sleepy Time Tales and would like to make a financial contribution, but would rather not commit to a monthly payment then you can throw a tip in the jar at https://ko-fi.com/sleepytimetalesPatreonSleep Tight PatronsJessChuckRobertaTraciCarlaJosephAYAmyJacqueAbbieGinaJYMindy Please ShareIf you’re enjoying the show, and finding it helps you sleep despite the stresses and strains of your life, the absolute best thing you can do is share it with your friends, families, acquaintances, cellmates etc. Anyone who needs a good night’s sleep might benefit.So please share it with the people in your life, whether in person or on social media.
