I was born in Paris, lived there during my studies, I'm French and your story makes me feel so comfy and cozy, I feel connected to you and your night workers. An embrace to people who are commenting ❤
Hello , I am a nurse and mother of three this is a wonderful way to relax and take care of myself. I listen to your stories at my break in the hospital and at night after a long stressful day. Thank you from Louisiana
Hello Stephen, I had never heard one of your sleep stories, but I felt transported! I'm 76 and have been bedridden in a nursing home since 2017. For over 55 years, I've been a professional artist with my paintings in several Museums. When I was 5 years old we lived in a flat, up some stairs, across the street from the Rodin Museum in Paris! I had a stretchy crocheted bag and used to go to the little shops and bakeries around the corner from there, for bagettes, fresh fruit, cheese, and wine, alone with my little shopping bag, I have been back to Paris a few times, and know the Louvre well. And have always loved the the top of the Eiffel Tower, I was truly transported, it was amazing. I like the "silent observer" style, and the affirmations at the end. Unfortunately I was woken up at 10 pm for medications, but I'm going to listen to another story in a few minutes, I just wanted to tell you how amazing and personal your story was for me. My father and I used to paint together (in oils) around Paris. So you could almost say I've been a professional artist since I was 5. I used to sell my little paintings to tourists, and buy escargot at a little sidewalk cafe, as a special treat...I opened my first art gallery in San Francisco when I was only 19. I'm currently living with Intractable pain, from damage to my spine, plus I have a kidney infection and several very large kidney stones. My pain was at a "9" for 3 days, almost called 911, to go to the ER, but that was too scary. I'm going into a very risky surgery August 5th, possibly a series of risky surgeries. I haven't been able to think of anything else. And my 52 year old daughter stole and sold everything I have ever owned and fled the USA, when I was hospitalized, caused me to lose my lovely 1913 home. I am all alone and have no money to send you, but hopefully this review will touch you. You are incredible! I loved your soft voice and reminding me I am safe. I've been so frightened and in so much pain, this is a terrible nursing home, they won't let me use a very safe heating pad to soothe the stabbing pain and won't even give me antibiotics. But your soothing words were truly amazing, you are a genuine artist and healer! My pain level has gone from a "9' to a "5" being transported to such a happy time in my youth. Thank you, so very much! With love, Susan (in Seattle)
Hi Susan, your comment not only touched me, it made me cry. I am so happy that you have written. You reminded me so clearly why I do this work. It is for healing and to help people feel peace in a world that can sometimes be difficult to navigate. I am sorry for what you have been through. I would love to hear more about your time in Paris as a little girl. Perhaps I could write a sleep story about it?? Please feel free to send more details if you think you would like this idea. Also, I did make a story about the musee Rodin a while ago. I’ll link it below. And there are many more Paris stories. Let me know if you’d like the links. I wish you peace Susan and all the best with your surgeries. Life can be tough, but there is always someone out there who cares. I promise 🙏🏻🙏🏻😊❤️ Link to Rodin story 👇 A Magical Museum Visit in Paris: A Soothing Bedtime Story th-cam.com/video/gefL1rTTjgM/w-d-xo.html
@@Stephen_Dalton Thank you for your wonderful reply, I'm so glad I was able to touch you on a level that you have touched me. You have a magical gift and an amazingly comforting voice, you are a true healer. I'm so glad I found you at a time when I needed you so much, but didn't even know you existed. It's was magical.. when I heard the words Rodin Museum, I almost cried. I was truely overwhelmed, as a warm blanket of love and compassion covered me and made me feel safe for the first time, in a very long time. I live in a terrible nursing home where I am mocked when I tell a nurse I'm in unberable pain, and they geer back at me, "YOU'RE ALWAYS IN PAIN!" almost shouting at me, and never showing any compassion. I was so thrilled to find your reply, I was so thrilled to feel your genuine compassion, I'm going to listen to the Rodin Museum story, thank you for sending it. Thank you for being the loving caring person you are. With love, Susan. (It's around 2 in the afternoon, but in a nursing home you try to sleep whenever you can, I can't wait to be transported to Paris, again.)♥🎨♥ th-cam.com/users/sgaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u1f380.png
Hi Susan, not that I have to do anything with this video or your conversation, except for that I genuinely appreciate both. Any person reading your comment will be moved to tears hearing your story. You are an incredibly strong woman and to take out time to write and so beautifully appreciate someone for their work makes you a little more human than the rest of us. I wish you good health and many more happy years to come. Get well soon and do comment so we know how the surgeries went. So much love and respect for you
Hearing your story brings so much perspective to my existence on this planet. I am trying to complain as little as possible and live meaningfully because now I understand that life can get difficult for each one of us. It is best to find solace in where we are and what we have achieved. Sorry to hear that your daughter didn't support you when you needed it the most. Sometimes people get too selfish. 😔 Sending you love and compassion. Stay strong.🙏
I wish I could tell you that I enjoy your sleep stories. Unfortunately I can’t, as I don’t ever get the chance to hear them. I’m usually asleep within 10 minutes! Thank you Stephen!!
I’ve started playing your stories about an hour before bed- I switch anything distracting off & play it then again when I get into bed, it helps me slow my mind down for bed & I get to listen to the whole story, by the time I get in bed I’m ready to replay & listen & sleep - thank you- I love all your stories
I found you about 2 months ago when I woke in the night and couldn't get a workplace issue out of my head. I found this story first and it was perfect! I really enjoyed hearing about the lives of these 3 people in Paris. You're now my go-to, every night whether I need your help to let go or to forget, or not. I enjoy your calming voice, the way you settle me into mindfulness in a relaxing restful position easily taking my mind away from any worries, and your reassurance of safety no matter what context the story is set in. I fall asleep before the end of each story since that first listening. Often I repeat the a story from a different starting position to hear more. Thank you so much Stephen. Helen, from Australia
Now just imagine listening to this story beside a crackling fireplace with a gentle rain tapping on the rooftop of a cozy cottage out in the woodlands 🥰
I feel good watching your video😭. I took care of my parents with dementia. Fifteen years ago, both parents suffered from dementia and Parkinson's disease After that, he quit his job and had to take care of both of them by cleaning up urine and poop at the same time for a long time. I am also a survivor of a violent family. My father was violent, and my mother and I survived. Last year, two of you died three months apart, and I was very stressed out. After my parents passed away, all I had left was a sick body and heart. I had a brain aneurysm and I still have two brain aneurysms in my head. We also have other vascular diseases. Anxiety that you don't know when and where it's going to explode. I suddenly gained 15kg due to liver function, kidney function, and hypothyroidism, but it's hard to walk and move. And I'm still treating depression, anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and insomnia. I got a job, but I quit because my health deteriorated, but the price has gone up so much that I'm at a loss. I still can't control a lot of emotions in my mind. I am in treatment and physically and mentally ill condition, but the path I walked is weak, but I want to share and communicate because I want to help, and I feel encouraged and encouraged to start TH-cam. I want to be healthy now. I want to stand alone healthy and free. I'm looking for myself. I don't even know who I am. The center of my world has been my parents until now. My parents are dead, so they're looking for me. It's only now that I feel sad and hurt. My father was confident until his death and did everything for my children, but I was only hurt. I'm particularly sensitive to violence and sound. I think lethargy is the biggest problem. It hurts. I always wore a mask because I wanted to see it hard. After my parents died, my mask came off. There's a weak me. I'm crumbling and floundering.
I, as an only child, also cared for my parents in their final years. Especially mom, as my parents divorced, and they lived in different communities. Dad’s 2nd wife put him in a nursing home. Still, as if tru a “calling”, first mom passed, aged 93. Three weeks later my dad passed-one week away from his 98th birthday. I played the music of his day and songs he and mom used to dance to while sitting next to his hospital bed the last 3 days he spent in “comfort care”. Although he wasn’t able to speak at that point, the music and my presence still brought a little smile. Two years later, my husband transitioned. Finally…lastly, my sweetheart Mr.Paul Bidwell, the most amazing person and a record holder in The Scottish Games of America (56 lb.weight toss, and Caber Toss Champion) many years ago…took the last of my heart with his passing 2 1/2 years ago. I went to bed, exhausted, depressed, and depleted . I had/have heart rhythm issues and degenerative osteoarthritis. However, recently I’ve decided that I, as an uplifter and bridge builder, could learn to live again. You may decide to do that too. Take all the time you need. Listen to these sleep stories…try to spend time outside getting some sunshine ☀️…keep a glass bottle of fresh pure water on the table to remind you to hydrate. Listen to beautiful music…listen to music that is primarily in major rather than minor keys. Best to avoid very loud/harsh/negative noise and “music”…have fun…in good ways. I have 2 kitties, Oda and Liam, I love so dearly. Pets can be so special and helpful to our mental and emotional health. If you’re not up to providing the care and upkeep for a pet of your own, how about volunteer work at the animal rescue shelter. Volunteering is a good way to help get involved with helping others…it boomerangs backatcha 😊🪃 If you can’t find good people (kind,compassionate, caring, thoughtful,etc.) to be around, then enjoy the beauty found in nature…walks in the park or in the woodlands can be enriching for your soul. How bout visiting the zoo? Museums are very interesting. Maybe call your local volunteer center to see if they have a wheelchair you could use to prevent excess stress on your physical body …if you think you need that option. I wouldn’t hesitate to avoid watching/listening to the news. Don’t worry…it’ll go on without us…lol…and will still be there, should you miss it 😉 Breathe deeply and slowly…not shallow breaths, but belly breaths…this can begin to calm your vagus nerve. Then you may feel ready to do some regular meditations. You could discuss this and the other things above with your health care providers. I hope that something here resonates with you. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other…but also know that taking a break is good too. So I’m wishing you a peaceful evening, beautiful sleep stories, and good dreams…😊 Here’s to you …🥂🍪🥛…a warm glass of honey milk & your favorite cookie!
I played this for my restless newborn baby and myself and we woke up after 41 minutes when the phone rang 😂we were both gone and we didn’t know ❤… this is my helper when it comes to making my baby sleep
i pay youtube 12.99 a month...No adverts...highly worth it. b4 that i used adblockers but they are onto them now haha..still worth the money..not a sniff of an add
Amalia here. Just skipped through to get a gist. This sounds so beautiful, already I feel emotional as the little I have heard took me right back to my travelling days. I could almost smell and taste the freshly made croissants and see the Tour Eiffel in my mind's eye. I shall look forward to listening to the whole thing as the last part of my (disturbed) sleep. Your delivery is fantastic, what a relaxing sleepy and calming voice. Thank you. 🙏
@@sergiograssi4821 my love and i were in Paris in 2015. We went to the top most part of the Eiffel Tower, we ran to the Soufflé restaurant in the rain to get there 2 minutes before they closed, we had Christmas dinner at an odd little restaurant that had only 10-12 other persons that night, it was the most different Christmas we ever had. We started our visit in Paris in a room that had just enough room to turn around but yet it was also cozy and sophisticated. Every day we had pastries and coffee. We had already been together for a decade but it was a way to start all over again. We went to almost every arrondissement and then traveled south to the côte’ d’azur where it was an entirely fresh experience, like being born again into yet another reality. It’s not just that we can never return to that exact time and experience but also that we ourselves are there still, a part of us that I miss greatly, a part of our ‘coupleness’ that no matter what cannot be retrieved other than just a tad through our memories. In this moment I am lying in bed ready for sleep as I listen to this story, I am only slightly hearing the words, my thoughts are with my love. And although we are just two rooms apart in this moment and just kissed one another deeply, I miss that which will never occur again. I am not selfish or simply longing or ungrateful for the love we have now, better than ever, it’s simply that I miss the us from that specialness that we lived once and will never live again. ~Todd
@@ToddDouglasFox Wow Todd. What a story you paint. You took me with you back to that beautiful memory, albeit for a brief second. You painted such a picture I couldn't help but be there, observing and feeling that special moment with you. Paris, what a place to have experienced and in such a way. A fulfilling base on which to solidify what sounds like an equally beautiful relationship. Forgive me if I have just a fleeting sense of envy. I too wish to find a love like this one day. Sending you and your love the strongest and happiest of vibes for many wonderful times together going forward. Amalia. 🙏💙
This narrative appeals the most to me. I visualize each character and feel close to Them. I attend to what they are doing walking along with. I like Jean Pierre. I read the other comments to make sure I hadn't missed anything. I am fading now but makes me want croissant
I love hearing this calming story of unsung heroes who help make life beautiful and secure. Your voice is so soothing and the content so peaceful and reassuring, it brings deep relaxation and pleasant dreams. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. It helps to meet the challenges of the upcoming day. ❤
Sorry to burst your bubble, I've been to France 3 times, NEVER GOING BACK. You will be heartbroken 💔. Keep your beautiful fantasy, Paris doesn't exist anymore 😢 💔
Stephen, it would be wonderful if they was a short recording of the background music 🎶......its beautiful ......I adore your stories for bedtime but a music recording would be amazing for bath time etc when we need to relax but not necessarily sleep ❤❤
this video has always been special to me, and it’s one that i’ve always played after i’ve gone through really hard moments and have had trouble calming down to sleep. thank you so much for these stories, they make me feel so safe:)
Dear Stephen, I just found you a couple of days ago and listen every night. Your sleep stories are magic. I like the fact that you take a couple of minutes to relax our body and mind. I just love the sound effects. I have no idea how you do it but I just see the images in my head. I was thinking about a story wandering in and around Trinity college and it's library. And now I see you are from Dublin! And you already have a story about a library already so I will listen to it tonight, I'm already looking forward to it. Anyway, this weekend I will be visiting Dun Laoghaire and I hope I will be fit enough to visit Trinity college myself. Thank you for these stories, they really help me falling asleep with nice images in stead of worries in my mind
Hi Heidi, That's amazing. Say hello to Dublin for me. You should go for a swim in the sea at the Forty Foot. I'm happy to help your sleep life and enjoy the library story! Stephen :)
@@Stephen_Dalton I would love to do that, no fear for cold water but I'm slightly impaired so impossible for me to get in and out of the water. I will go and watch anyway. Or find some strong men to help me 🤣
Hi Mr. Dalton could you make a third part to this story. I love the story and the soothing music. It is the only thing that helps me drift off to sleep after a difficult day. I also enjoy your other stories but this is my favorite one.
A true sleep whisperer! Thank you so much for your work, and your time , that you've invested into this much needed relief and tonic for so many people. Yours is truly a great talent and an art form. Only thing...I never get to the middle or the end of the story...😴❤ must be wizardry!😄❤
I've listened to this every time I wake up, which in a nursing home can be often. There was no interruption the first time I listened, but since then, three times at about 6 minutes in, a loud ad started to play, even though I have auto play positively turned off. Hopefully you can do something about that. I am so eager to get back to your mesmerizing, healing voice and amazing, transporting story, that feels like it was written especially for me. You have given me a feeling of comfort and safety I haven't felt since I lost my home and was forced to live in a horrid nursing home, abandoned by my 52 year old daughter who stole and sold everything I have ever owned, and fled the country, during a long hospitalization in 2017. To be transported to my childhood in Paris, living across the street from the Rodin Museum, has been utterly amazing. I am in awe of your masterful story telling. With love, Susan
Thank you very much Stephen for the work you do! I'd been sleeping badly for the past few weeks, then I listened to your story just yesterday, fell asleep after first 15 minutes and slept like a baby! Your voice worked like a magic, plus the music and the story itself, amazing! You've found another subscriber :) Best wishes from the Czech Republic!
This is my very favourite story, especially about Jean Pierre the baker. I'd love to hear a story about him alone, his family, ancestors in the bakery. If you can Stephen? Many thanks, also adore Hope and Seimus ❤
I am speechless i do not know how i am going to thank you for such amazing stories that help me go through stress and get rid of tirdeness and negative energy .
Wow, Stephen! Your storytelling is truly captivating, and this snowy night in Paris has brought me so much peace.🌨✨ It's fascinating to explore the lives of these three night workers and see the city from their perspective. I felt like a silent observer, transported to a tranquil winter wonderland. Your voice and sound design are absolutely enchanting, making it easy to drift off into a restful sleep. 😴💤 Thank you for the amazing content you create, and I can't wait to see what other journeys you'll take us on! 🌍🌟
Only came across your channel yesterday, listened last night - how wonderful the only thing is only got to hear part of the story, fell asleep 💤 I do suffer with sleeplessness so will defiantly listen to your content in future and I have subscribed 😊 Thank you so much
It comes across within this story, its special- it brings forward a place we visited, lived or yearn to visit one day from the back of our minds & we are right there right now.
Thank u so.much... I can now say that listening to your voice been the teller/narrator of the stories which made me feel delightful and even wondering a croissants while i was working out my fitness and my dog napping been present and presence. Thank u so much. Im gonna try another one after my prayers when i go to bed to sleep with my dog after 6am. With the room half dark half light... For u not to lose the whole day sleeping. God bless.
I'm so happy i found ur youtube channel ... i need it so much. My broken heart is feel so cozy and relax . I'm crying ..Listen ur magical voice every night. I've never been in Paris. But now, listening ur magical stories i imagine like am there . Thank u so much.....😢@Stephen
Thanks so much Stephan for your hard work iin bringing us these stories they have seriously changed our sleep patterns especially the ability to fall asleep. Ly
I'm new here...troubles relaxing and sleeping due to 7 year brain injury and this was absolutely lovely! I often have troubles listening to one voice for long...but yours was very soothing. Thank you!
I feel the same way. I could almost smell the aroma of the warm croissants out of the oven. I've just found the new meditation and am listening whilst I look through the channel as I'm curious about the activity here. It feels.like the most beautiful exclusive club. I can't quite believe so few of us are party to these gorgeous meditations. Bon nuit!
Thank you SO much Stephen, your voice & stories are amazing 🥰 I havn’t actually heard an ending yet tho ! My suggestion would be in a zen monastery with a lil bell sound now & then ?! Again, TY 🙏
I never knew anything like this existed although I have always loved a male voice because it can be so soothing not like the female voice that can be so annoying! I have saved this to my faves for when I'm ready to relax and give it a try! 🤗✨
Dear Stephen, I just discovered your channel last night and it was raining outside. I thoroughly enjoyed your sleep story and felt comforted, was less anxious, didn't have any nightmare. I found you at the right time. You're doing a fabulous job. Keep it up. Looking forward to tonight's story. 🌌🌃🌙

Thank you so much 🙏🏻
These stories are very helpful for sleeping...Can you imagine I am typing this comment while sleeping...
Hahahahaaaaa.. ; )
Comforting our inner child which we all want despite being adults....
I don’t remember one word of the story but I slept 8 hours straight and woke up feeling great!
Your intro is so kind. I already have those settings in place but deeply appreciate your thoughtfulness. Thank you.

My father was confident until his death and did everything for my children, but I was only hurt.
I'm particularly sensitive to violence and sound. I think lethargy is the biggest problem. It hurts.
I always wore a mask because I wanted to see it hard. After my parents died, my mask came off.
There's a weak me.
I'm crumbling and floundering.
I wish you peace. I’m sorry that things are so difficult for you at the moment. 🙏🏻
These stories are healing for me, also an orphan now😢❤
I, as an only child, also cared for my parents in their final years. Especially mom, as my parents divorced, and they lived in different communities. Dad’s 2nd wife put him in a nursing home. Still, as if tru a “calling”, first mom passed, aged 93. Three weeks later my dad passed-one week away from his 98th birthday. I played the music of his day and songs he and mom used to dance to while sitting next to his hospital bed the last 3 days he spent in “comfort care”. Although he wasn’t able to speak at that point, the music and my presence still brought a little smile.
Two years later, my husband transitioned. Finally…lastly, my sweetheart Mr.Paul Bidwell, the most amazing person and a record holder in The Scottish Games of America (56 lb.weight toss, and Caber Toss Champion) many years ago…took the last of my heart with his passing 2 1/2 years ago. I went to bed, exhausted, depressed, and depleted . I had/have heart rhythm issues and degenerative osteoarthritis. However, recently I’ve decided that I, as an uplifter and bridge builder, could learn to live again.
You may decide to do that too. Take all the time you need. Listen to these sleep stories…try to spend time outside getting some sunshine ☀️…keep a glass bottle of fresh pure water on the table to remind you to hydrate. Listen to beautiful music…listen to music that is primarily in major rather than minor keys. Best to avoid very loud/harsh/negative noise and “music”…have fun…in good ways. I have 2 kitties, Oda and Liam, I love so dearly. Pets can be so special and helpful to our mental and emotional health. If you’re not up to providing the care and upkeep for a pet of your own, how about volunteer work at the animal rescue shelter. Volunteering is a good way to help get involved with helping others…it boomerangs backatcha 😊🪃
If you can’t find good people (kind,compassionate, caring, thoughtful,etc.) to be around, then enjoy the beauty found in nature…walks in the park or in the woodlands can be enriching for your soul. How bout visiting the zoo? Museums are very interesting. Maybe call your local volunteer center to see if they have a wheelchair you could use to prevent excess stress on your physical body …if you think you need that option.
I wouldn’t hesitate to avoid watching/listening to the news. Don’t worry…it’ll go on without us…lol…and will still be there, should you miss it 😉
Breathe deeply and slowly…not shallow breaths, but belly breaths…this can begin to calm your vagus nerve. Then you may feel ready to do some regular meditations. You could discuss this and the other things above with your health care providers.
I hope that something here resonates with you. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other…but also know that taking a break is good too.
So I’m wishing you a peaceful evening, beautiful sleep stories, and good dreams…😊 Here’s to you …🥂🍪🥛…a warm glass of honey milk & your favorite cookie!
I’m so so sorry you are going through all that my heart hurts for you I pray you heel and feel better soon 🙏🏼

I played this for my restless newborn baby and myself and we woke up after 41 minutes when the phone rang 😂we were both gone and we didn’t know ❤… this is my helper when it comes to making my baby sleep
This is wonderful 🙏🏻
This helped me sleep so much when I wasn’t able to sleep
I have listened to this 5 times now. Still don't know how many people we meet, lol. I'm well asleep after 2. Thank you, wonderful!
Wonderful!
It was so thoughtful to remind us to turn off auto play. I’m looking forward to this. ❤
i pay youtube 12.99 a month...No adverts...highly worth it. b4 that i used adblockers but they are onto them now haha..still worth the money..not a sniff of an add
Im 21 years old and i still need these videos.🙂
Amalia here. Just skipped through to get a gist. This sounds so beautiful, already I feel emotional as the little I have heard took me right back to my travelling days. I could almost smell and taste the freshly made croissants and see the Tour Eiffel in my mind's eye. I shall look forward to listening to the whole thing as the last part of my (disturbed) sleep. Your delivery is fantastic, what a relaxing sleepy and calming voice. Thank you. 🙏
Amalia, thank you so much for your great comment! I am glad you like the story and that it helps with your sleep. 💫

@@sergiograssi4821 my love and i were in Paris in 2015. We went to the top most part of the Eiffel Tower, we ran to the Soufflé restaurant in the rain to get there 2 minutes before they closed, we had Christmas dinner at an odd little restaurant that had only 10-12 other persons that night, it was the most different Christmas we ever had. We started our visit in Paris in a room that had just enough room to turn around but yet it was also cozy and sophisticated. Every day we had pastries and coffee. We had already been together for a decade but it was a way to start all over again. We went to almost every arrondissement and then traveled south to the côte’ d’azur where it was an entirely fresh experience, like being born again into yet another reality. It’s not just that we can never return to that exact time and experience but also that we ourselves are there still, a part of us that I miss greatly, a part of our ‘coupleness’ that no matter what cannot be retrieved other than just a tad through our memories. In this moment I am lying in bed ready for sleep as I listen to this story, I am only slightly hearing the words, my thoughts are with my love. And although we are just two rooms apart in this moment and just kissed one another deeply, I miss that which will never occur again. I am not selfish or simply longing or ungrateful for the love we have now, better than ever, it’s simply that I miss the us from that specialness that we lived once and will never live again. ~Todd
@@ToddDouglasFox Wow Todd. What a story you paint. You took me with you back to that beautiful memory, albeit for a brief second. You painted such a picture I couldn't help but be there, observing and feeling that special moment with you. Paris, what a place to have experienced and in such a way. A fulfilling base on which to solidify what sounds like an equally beautiful relationship. Forgive me if I have just a fleeting sense of envy. I too wish to find a love like this one day. Sending you and your love the strongest and happiest of vibes for many wonderful times together going forward. Amalia. 🙏💙
I fell asleep quickly . Thanks 👍
This narrative appeals the most to me. I visualize each character and feel close to
Them. I attend to what they are doing walking along with. I like Jean Pierre. I read the other comments to make sure I hadn't missed anything. I am fading now but makes me want croissant
I love hearing this calming story of unsung heroes who help make life beautiful and secure. Your voice is so soothing and the content so peaceful and reassuring, it brings deep relaxation and pleasant dreams. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. It helps to meet the challenges of the upcoming day. ❤
Wow, thank you! I love that people love this one. It means a lot to me
Wow, thank you! I love that people love this one. It means a lot to me
It is so beautiful!❤
This is so lovely 🥰 very relaxing. I feel like I’m there. I love Paris if ever remarry I’m going there for my honeymoon ❤
Sorry to burst your bubble, I've been to France 3 times, NEVER GOING BACK. You will be heartbroken 💔. Keep your beautiful fantasy, Paris doesn't exist anymore 😢 💔
@@louise7552that's so sad 😢. I'm sorry you had such a bad experience 😞.
Stephen, it would be wonderful if they was a short recording of the background music 🎶......its beautiful ......I adore your stories for bedtime but a music recording would be amazing for bath time etc when we need to relax but not necessarily sleep ❤❤
Love this story
this video has always been special to me, and it’s one that i’ve always played after i’ve gone through really hard moments and have had trouble calming down to sleep. thank you so much for these stories, they make me feel so safe:)
Dear Stephen, I just found you a couple of days ago and listen every night. Your sleep stories are magic. I like the fact that you take a couple of minutes to relax our body and mind. I just love the sound effects. I have no idea how you do it but I just see the images in my head.
I was thinking about a story wandering in and around Trinity college and it's library. And now I see you are from Dublin! And you already have a story about a library already so I will listen to it tonight, I'm already looking forward to it.
Anyway, this weekend I will be visiting Dun Laoghaire and I hope I will be fit enough to visit Trinity college myself.
Thank you for these stories, they really help me falling asleep with nice images in stead of worries in my mind
Hi Heidi, That's amazing. Say hello to Dublin for me. You should go for a swim in the sea at the Forty Foot. I'm happy to help your sleep life and enjoy the library story! Stephen :)
@@Stephen_Dalton I would love to do that, no fear for cold water but I'm slightly impaired so impossible for me to get in and out of the water. I will go and watch anyway. Or find some strong men to help me 🤣
Love it. You are an angel
This is my favorite comforting story. Only heard the end once! Plus I like the one hour length too.
I love it too Gail. It was one of my favourites to write 😊
Beautiful TH-cam channel
Hi Mr. Dalton could you make a third part to this story. I love the story and the soothing music. It is the only thing that helps me drift off to sleep after a difficult day. I also enjoy your other stories but this is my favorite one.
Have to say your audiobooks are my favourite! This one however is my absolute favourite!🥰 x
Thank you Stephen for your lovely crafted stories. They are my “go to” joy at night. Love the he count down.
It worked for me! Thanks! ❤
Best sleep story I’ve heard yet! I felt like I was really there ❤️
A true sleep whisperer! Thank you so much for your work, and your time , that you've invested into this much needed relief and tonic for so many people. Yours is truly a great talent and an art form.
Only thing...I never get to the middle or the end of the story...😴❤ must be wizardry!😄❤
You are so welcome!
You are so welcome!
Me and my boys listen every night! Thank you!
I love this story so much! And the music! Your voice! All of it!
❤
I've listened to this every time I wake up, which in a nursing home can be often. There was no interruption the first time I listened, but since then, three times at about 6 minutes in, a loud ad started to play, even though I have auto play positively turned off. Hopefully you can do something about that. I am so eager to get back to your mesmerizing, healing voice and amazing, transporting story, that feels like it was written especially for me. You have given me a feeling of comfort and safety I haven't felt since I lost my home and was forced to live in a horrid nursing home, abandoned by my 52 year old daughter who stole and sold everything I have ever owned, and fled the country, during a long hospitalization in 2017.
To be transported to my childhood in Paris, living across the street from the Rodin Museum, has been utterly amazing. I am in awe of your masterful story telling. With love, Susan
So sad! Hugs and love. For avoiding ads, unfortunately it is necessary to pay for TH-cam premium😢😢😢
Maybe you can download 😮😢
@@ingriscausil7113no it is not. I don't & there are no ads. I'm grateful because Stephen's stories are such a blessing. 💞
Thank you very much Stephen for the work you do! I'd been sleeping badly for the past few weeks, then I listened to your story just yesterday, fell asleep after first 15 minutes and slept like a baby! Your voice worked like a magic, plus the music and the story itself, amazing! You've found another subscriber :) Best wishes from the Czech Republic!
You're very welcome
I have been listening to you on my old phone for 1 year. Your voice can only make sleep.
I love these they are so peaceful and your voice helps very calming and helps while im grieving thank you for reading us stories
The best sleep story hands down❤
Please do one of a snowy Christmas 🎄 cabin during a snow ❄️ storm!
This is one of my favorites 😍 It reminds me of my trip to Portugal.
Thank you❤🥱. I’m looking forward to exploring new worlds in dreams!
Wonderful, enjoy 🙏🏻
So lovely hearing this after busy day which is why I cannot sleep
I loved this story although I have no idea how it ends😴😴😴❤
I love this story. I come back to it over and over again. Thank you for this story. It helps so much
This is my very favourite story, especially about Jean Pierre the baker. I'd love to hear a story about him alone, his family, ancestors in the bakery. If you can Stephen? Many thanks, also adore Hope and Seimus ❤
I just wanna say thank you so much Stephan for your videos. I love love love them. May you be abundantly blessed ❤️🌹
And you as well. I'm happy you love my work! Stephen :)

Listened to this twice now. I never get to hear the full story because I’m asleep at 15:41 mark. 😊
The same here! 15 minutes and that's it! Wonderful how Stephen's voice works, isn't it? :)
I love every bit of this. The music, your voice and the story. It works 100% to calm my racing mind. I listen to it throughout the night.
Wow, thank you!
this is so beautiful...thank you
I am speechless i do not know how i am going to thank you for such amazing stories that help me go through stress and get rid of tirdeness and negative energy .
Just had a lovely sleepy night in Dublin listening to this!
That's awesome. Thanks for sharing. Give my home town my love :)
I am offering croissants and coffee ❤
Wow, Stephen! Your storytelling is truly captivating, and this snowy night in Paris has brought me so much peace.🌨✨ It's fascinating to explore the lives of these three night workers and see the city from their perspective. I felt like a silent observer, transported to a tranquil winter wonderland. Your voice and sound design are absolutely enchanting, making it easy to drift off into a restful sleep. 😴💤 Thank you for the amazing content you create, and I can't wait to see what other journeys you'll take us on! 🌍🌟
Thank you too and there are so many more to come 😊
Only came across your channel yesterday, listened last night - how wonderful the only thing is only got to hear part of the story, fell asleep 💤 I do suffer with sleeplessness so will defiantly listen to your content in future and I have subscribed 😊 Thank you so much
Thank you for another excellent story
This is just beautiful , I love Paris & this is now my favourite listen to go to sleep.
Hi Julie, I'm so happy that you are enjoying this story. I used to live there so it's a place I also love. Stephen :)
It comes across within this story, its special- it brings forward a place we visited, lived or yearn to visit one day from the back of our minds & we are right there right now.
PARIS ❤❤❤ Thank you SO much !! More from Paris, please 🤞
Thank u so.much... I can now say that listening to your voice been the teller/narrator of the stories which made me feel delightful and even wondering a croissants while i was working out my fitness and my dog napping been present and presence.

Ly
Love the stories ❤
This is beautiful, your voice is very peaceful. Thanks a lot
Thanks for listening and for the lovely feedback. It means a lot. Stephen :)
This is exquisite. ❤
Fabulous Stephen. I loved this story. Thank you so much
My pleasure Josephine, I love Paris so it was a joy to write. used to live there and it will always be close to my heart.
beautiful voice
Thank you 🙏🏻
🙏Thank you so much for this great video 😍 Wonderful voice ❤ ( my dog also🐶loves your voice ! )
Ha great! Mine too 😂
I'm new here...troubles relaxing and sleeping due to 7 year brain injury and this was absolutely lovely! I often have troubles listening to one voice for long...but yours was very soothing. Thank you!
This lovely story makes me feel like I'm actually in Paris☕🥐. God bless you for creating such beautiful sleep stories 🌇
I feel the same way. I could almost smell the aroma of the warm croissants out of the oven. I've just found the new meditation and am listening whilst I look through the channel as I'm curious about the activity here. It feels.like the most beautiful exclusive club. I can't quite believe so few of us are party to these gorgeous meditations. Bon nuit!
I'm so glad you're enjoying the stories so far. Haha, well there will be more coming, so hopefully we'll become bigger soon! 😄
Alg
Thank you Stephen. ❤🍀
Thank you 🦋
You are so welcome
You are so welcome
I cant get past the meditation at the beginning before i am asleep. It happens every time i dont even know what any of the stories are about👀
Hopefully get to Paris again . ❤
Thank you SO much Stephen, your voice & stories are amazing 🥰 I havn’t actually heard an ending yet tho ! My suggestion would be in a zen monastery with a lil bell sound now & then ?! Again, TY 🙏
Great suggestion Kim. It's noted. Thank you it's very much appreciated. Stephen :)
Great suggestion! I agree
A little bell sound would wake me up as I was drifting off, not such a great idea, to me.. maybe a very hollow soft wooden bell sound would work.
Your videos have helped me finally relax at night before sleep. I dive into the story and before I know it it’s morning! Thanks so so much.
I never knew anything like this existed although I have always loved a male voice because it can be so soothing not like the female voice that can be so annoying! I have saved this to my faves for when I'm ready to relax and give it a try! 🤗✨
Hello 👋. I listen to uour stories every night as i have insomnia and you help me fall asleep every night so thank you 🙏
You're welcome 😊
It really helps😊
I like the time you tell us to make relax our body before the story
Wow this is so beautifully done💞everything about it is wonderful💫Thank you
Dear Stephen, I just discovered your channel last night and it was raining outside. I thoroughly enjoyed your sleep story and felt comforted, was less anxious, didn't have any nightmare. I found you at the right time. You're doing a fabulous job. Keep it up. Looking forward to tonight's story. 🌌🌃🌙
