Someone used the word hypnodrunk and I think that describes the feeling, waking up just barely conscious, brain feels like mashed potatoes 🤤 and you just pass out again
What a delightful way to end the day! Your stories transport us to distant lands and enchanting adventures, easing us into a restful slumber. May the night bring you tranquility and the dawn bring you renewed energy. Sleep well, everyone! 💜💜💜
Had a dream about this reoccurring house. The rooms are untraditionally shaped. One room is as tall as 2 story home where other bedrooms might be standard but with hidden closet rooms. The kitchen is composed of a metallic tall divider with horizontal grooves. This sets the living room and kitchen apart from each other otherwise it would be one large area. The counter tops are marble and cabinets made of light cherry wood. The living room is more like a den with no TV but a bookcase, a fireplace and a wet bar with a in wall fish tank. (I could go into more detail but my post would be super long. ) 😂
Oooooo I really like the introduction graphics. Quote is a nice touch. Looking forward to listening to this again, listened on a patreon but Was out pretty fast. I said in a previous story but feel need to again, its nice to "be back" where it feels like the stories are working like they did when I first found you, that nice feeling of calmly drifting off without realizing its happening and maybe it sounds weird but part of what makes it so nice is the familiarity and nostalgia? Though I feel like that's not quite hlthe right word? Just remembering that initial feeling of comfort and brain melting relaxation and feeling it again after it seemed to go away for a while, like things are how they should be again or seeing a friend whose been away
Oh!? maybe I had calm, but we had just found you on TH-cam. I used to listen to you with both my grandsons were really little. It was the only thing that calmed them down and they would go to sleep with your voice and your stories.
@@RachelWellborn-h6w I've been on many apps, the largest is probably the Slumber app, so I don't know if you've tried this one and maybe found me there?
Hi Dan. One of the things I love about your sleep stories was that there was no background noises. It is hard to focus on your voice with rain sounds in the background for an active mind. Don’t really know if I’m the minority regarding background sounds but do find it difficult. Sent with love
Unfortunately most people want background sounds like rain. Back in 2022 when because my voice only content was getting very few views and many channels had appeared with SFX and rain etc and most of my viewers were now going to those channels I had to change what I was doing if I was going to remain being able to make sleep stories. I reached a point where I was a few months from having to get a job and give all this up if I couldn't find a solution. Few people had been listening to my content for about a year at that point, so I had to try out seeing if adding SFX or rain etc helped my videos and they went from about 1500 views on a story to about 15000 views on a video, with frequent videos doing much better than this. As I felt the 50k or so subscriber and other long time viewers might prefer what they have known, although with only about 1500 views per video and only 30% of these being from subscribers, not many of those subscribers were watching my videos, I set up a separate channel for voice only sleep stories and every week I created voice only sleep stories on that channel, plus voice only versions of my SFX sleep stories I was posting on this channel and then set up Patreon, sharing everything voice only, as well as the SFX versions, and since doing rain versions, Patreon just has voice only, not rain versions of stories. But despite me constantly trying to promote the voice only channel, it got very few subscribers and the stories were still getting very few views, so in 2023 I ditched the voice only channel as it was a lot of additional work for something that only a very small handful of people seemed to be interested in. I still had all the voice only stuff on every other platform/app/streaming service and Patreon, so there are still plenty of ways for those who just want voice only to access that, and all though there is a delay in content and then it arrives in bulk because of how it is shared, I also created the voice only sleep stories playlist here on my channel so that those who like voice only sleep stories can use the playlist, which I think currently has perhaps 350 stories in it. But because the only way to do this without it negatively impacting my channel is to link it with when I share albums of my sleep stories, an albums worth is added each time there is another album of content available rather than individual new stories added weekly. I was promoting this list of voice only versions frequently but then my analytics point out how many people unsubscribe because of my posts about the voice only sleep stories playlist, so I now just assume I've given those long time subscribers enough chance to be aware of this, like I did with the voice only sleep stories channel and so I don't mention it. As voice only is much easier for me, every few months I test the waters and try to see if there is an audience for voice only stories now. I post a voice only story, if it does comparable to my regular content without negatively impacting my channel then I will leave it up, if it quickly shows signs of negatively impacting my channel then within an hour or two I remove it from my channel (usually posting a voice only story, I'll see few views and lots of people unsubscribing, so I'll remove it and have the rain version in its place and that will suddenly get significantly more views and often gain, rather than lose subscribers). So I still have voice only content available for those who want it and while most people seem to want storytelling and rain on TH-cam, that is what I focus on here. It might be that on other platforms my content would be more successful if it was storytelling and rain there, but currently this is the only platform I post storytelling and rain stories, but also have a playlist of voice only stories for those who prefer that.
@cherylgrech2403 as mentioned, I still share voice only versions of my stories, not just the old stories but all stories on this channel, I just keep them all in a single playlist and share them an album at a time rather than a story at a time. There are almost 400 voice only stories in that playlist and when I get time, probably after I've finished making all the Christmas stories and am back and recovered from presenting at the UK Hypnosis Convention in the middle of November, I'll get the albums I've not released yet shared and a few weeks after that they will appear in that playlist which will perhaps be another 30 or so sleep stories bringing the playlist up to date so that it will have everything but perhaps the most recent 8-10 stories at the point the list is updated.
Can't wait to get into bed! The best thing is to semi wake up to this and go back to sleep with no effort.

Im back again!
I use this video so, so, so, many times!
❤😊
Great story.
You did such a great job with this Dan! Really enjoyed listening! ❤😊
What a delightful way to end the day! Your stories transport us to distant lands and enchanting adventures, easing us into a restful slumber. May the night bring you tranquility and the dawn bring you renewed energy. Sleep well, everyone! 💜💜💜
Thanks Dan, i didn't manage to hear the end of this one last night!
I'm so excited to go to sleep listening to this gem, I'm so glad I found this channel!
Thank you for your hard work ❤
Thank you Dan. The next long story you do Im going to try and write a brief description of my dream.
Oh, that would be really cool. I rarely remember my dreams but would be really interesting to see how a story affect your dreams

Hi Dan, thanks for this lovely story. I love stories about caves with beautiful coloured pools lit up with crystals, kind dragons and fairies.
I’m going to try to have naps during the day so I can listen to these wonderful stories! lol
I've got two 8 hour compilations that are collections of 40 stories each compilation designed specifically for naps or meditation...
@@DanJonesHypnosisoh awesome!! Thank you😊
I first met you on “ Calm” more than 5 years ago. 🥳
I’m glad I found you on here!
I've unfortunately never managed to get my work on Calm, but I have applied on many occasions over the years...
Oh!? maybe I had calm, but we had just found you on TH-cam. I used to listen to you with both my grandsons were really little. It was the only thing that calmed them down and they would go to sleep with your voice and your stories.

Yes! Slumber!!! Not calm. Then I just refound u lol on you tube. 🥰

@ I appreciate your position. Sorry if I caused you any trouble. I will continue using your older stories. Thank you ☺️

Nice voice. I'm picky about that.
