Don’t worry about the maths you’ll be asleep’

The perfect voice to put me to sleep in 3 minutes. It didn’t matter what he was reading, A voice that hypnotizes you, The subject matter was really irrelevant and I think he is the best of the narrators.

Perfect.

He has such a quiet, calm voice, perfect for soothing you to sleep. I tried all the bedtime stories, bit this one is by far the best. I've downloaded this story and it's the one I use every night. I've not gotten to the end of the story once!
