Life-changing podcast!
This podcast has put me to sleep so many times! Wether I had a long study night for finals, or just another Saturday evening, within 10 seconds I am passed out on my bed and sleeping till morning. If this podcast leaves, I might actually go crazy haha š
I would pay the WORLD to get this pod back if it discontinues. So really, give it a try. Itās actually so affective (even the ads arenāt annoying lol)

Gets Me Every Single Time
I go through waves of sleep struggles and whenever I need that bit of distraction from my middle of the night thoughts, this does it every time. It usually takes no more than one episode but the way its set up I could run it and sleep to it all night. Itās the background noise that does exactly what it promises, bores me to sleep and I love it
Thanks Scooter!

Trust me listen a few times
I go through horrible bouts of sleeplessness, on and off throughout my entire life.
One night was desperate, exhausted and truly miserable and so I typed in sleep podcast into Apple Podcasts and one of the options was this purple and white looking photo. I kept scrolling and kept getting pulled back. I clicked that white and purple photos and was honestly so confused, this is a sleep podcast?!?
I listened bc well I was desperate. I thought well Iāll try. Then I thought well Iām never listening to this again. However I fell asleep. So I thought well why not try again?!? Then I was hooked. I listen most nights.
Today almost a year later I signed up for a year to help this podcast to stick around bc it has made a huge difference in my life.
I recommend you try at least a few times because trust me it works!

A daily routine
I love this show and have been a consistent listener for about 2 years. Through countless restless and anxiety ridden nights, this show has been a comfort and a delight. I love the recaps from Doctor Who to Great British Baking show, original episodes, and some of his reoccurring characters like Ray. But what really resonates with me is Scooters love for helping others, his compassion, and this niche that he has carved out in a sleepless world.
What prompted me to write this review stems from a stressful work balance to a 6 month layoff. Throughout that time, Scooter has helped me find peace when I go to sleep. Sometimes my brain is too awake to drift off, but playing multiple episodes on a long sleep timer makes it all a bit more bearable.
Please listen and support this show, and give it a chance if it throws you off at first. You might just love it.

Thank you!
Wow! I wish I knew about this genre. I prefer this to sleep meditations. Much more effective. Worked like a dream on first time listening. Highly recommend.

thanks, scooter!
six years going strong, thanks for providing a safe place and some comfort while we're trying to sleep! i'm a severe insomniac and i have manic depression and this podcast still manages to put me to sleep in a half an hour max, usually less than ten minutes. i can't even begin to calculate how much sleep i owe to this cast āļøšāļøš¤
Me, duh. Who else?
A+
been a fan for years, thank you!!

I donāt listen every night, but when I do find myself needing something to listen to this podcast is always a safe bet. It definitely feels like a community even if itās a sleepy one it still makes my heart warm.

Almost perfect
This has been the only podcast to put me to sleep. Iāve tried everything - nature sounds, music, white noise, interviews, and nothing worked like Sleep with Me. Unfortunately, I started to notice this constant repetition of drawn out āuhhhās or āuhmās in every other sentence and itās now become unbearable. Every time I hear it, it jars me out of what was the only peaceful podcast experience Iāve ever had :(
But if you can ignore that? This works in the weirdest way.

Wanted to Hate It Butā¦
I ran across this podcast as I was looking for a new podcast to listen to while I was falling asleep. I often listen to stories like This American Life or other story-based podcasts, and then I ran across Sleep with Me. The first time I listened to it I thought, Are you kidding me? This is the weirdest thing Iāve ever heard. I didnāt like all the stuttering and all the back-and-forth and the meandering and all so I was set to not like it. But then I woke up the next morning and realized that I hadnāt heard the end of the podcast, so I tried it the next night ā¦ and the next and the next and the next, and I know thereās supposed to be a story in there somewhere during this podcast, but Iāve never made it as far as the storytelling part. It works! It puts me out every night.

Sleep With Me
This is an absolutely sensational podcast. I am so deeply grateful to āScootsā and his team for bringing such light into the world. (The good kind of light, not the kind that messes up your circadian rhythm and interferes with sleep š).
The hostās willingness to show his humanity with self-reflection and a huge dose of self-compassionate humor is beyond endearing: it is magical. Scoots, you are a living example of the vulnerability = courage equation.
Some specifics that I love:
When you laugh out loud at yourself - āoh boy!ā
Naming the voices in your head, like Travey, the trip worrier
The imaginary interviews between you and outside critics.
Really I love the whole thing. And I am usually one of the 2% that enjoys and then falls asleep during the end of the introduction.
Scoots you are a creative, compassionate genius.
I thank you and your team for making the world a better place.
Everyone should support this show!

I go to sleep within minutes thanks to this guy, after years of anguish. This podcast is worth multiple tries. Best long term impact.

Hello MAH name is Denki and I approve sleep with me bc like 10 min in Iām out and the mandalorian episodes are really good (btw If I spelled mandalorian wrong sorry my grammar is bad)

Mehā¦
If listening to a guy with a grainy voice drone on about mindless stuff puts you to sleep, this is your jam.

Pure joy
This podcast brings me so much joy there arenāt even words. I am so grateful for this podcast. I can sleep and I am usually chuckling as I drift off. Thank you!

So soothing
Just like millions of others, this took me a few tries to get into, but now itās PERFECT! I struggle with a racing mind at night and this is just the thing to distract me and keep me company while I drift off. TRY IT!

Thanks Scooter
This is exactly what I never knew I needed to fall asleep. New episode artwork is looking really nice too!

Shuts my brain up
This podcast mimics the style of my thoughts but in a sleepy, uninteresting way so that I donāt have to follow the thread of my own racing thoughts during bedtime. I appreciate not feeling the pressure to hear whatās next and just letting Scooter talk me to sleep š“

So boring
I have never fallen asleep faster to anything but my teachers talking.

Iām hooked
Every night I listen to this podcast and it has helped
me fall asleep like no other podcast. I love it.

Get to the point
It takes forever to get to the actual topic. Ugh.
rosesandwhiskers
I donāt really get the appeal
Sounds like my schizophrenic uncle ranting uncontrollably. More likely to give you anxiety rather than a good nights rest

Iāve never made it past the intro
Iāve been listening on and off for years. I have nothing to report to you about the content of this show.. because Iāve never made it past the 10 minute markā¦ and that should tell you everything you need to know, shouldnāt it?
kfly_18
I was skeptical at first.
This is my āgo to podcastā when I have a hard time falling asleep.
Thereās something special about Scoooterās voice that just makes you melt right into your cozy bed.
Iāve listened to the Great Pumpkin~Charlie Brown episode at least five times. I smile as I fall asleep.

For some reason, it works!
We want more 80s catalog episodes!!

Awesome podcast
I could not sleep until I started listening to this podcast. I love it

Works every single time
I have no idea how, but Scooter is amazing at what he does. I really thought in the first 2 seconds that there was no way I could sleep to this... I gave it a try anyway. I soon realized that it was actually magic and puts me to sleep rather quickly every single night. Iāve never finished an episode. The topics are so bizarre and he is pretty hilarious, I literally giggle right into dream land! I highly recommend this podcast to everyone! Skip the first 30 min of the intro. It gets redundant, but I get why he does it. I head straight into the story and usually within 10-15 min, Iām asleep!

Frustrating
It works, but there are ads in the middle of the content that have a louder and different tone than the rest of the podcast. Why was I just woken up 28 minutes into the podcast by a very loud car insurance ad read? I donāt mind ads at the beginning or in the same tone as the rest of the podcast, but if the podcast is supposed to be to help you fall asleep, why have parts that are designed to wake you up?

The only way I can sleep..
Look, I get itās not for everyone, but itās the only way I can shut my mind off in the best way. If you have an over active brain, give this a try. So grateful for this podcast!!
Suzy4toes
Loud energetic ads - totally counterproductive
Iām 100% in support of creators monetizing their content, but thereās no way Iām going to listen to 20+ minutes of intro that winds you up instead of calming you down.

Love love love
Not only do I listen every night, I recommend to my therapy clients also! Thank you!!

My go to sleep aid
Itās different for everyone, but personally I try to focus completely on the story, and even try to visualize it. The story is so chaotic my brain canāt keep up, and it isnāt interesting enough to even try. I donāt think Iāve made it through a episode when nothing else helped.
OhSoAwesome
Insomniac Highly Recommends!
This podcast is honestly the only one I have discovered that will get me back to sleep š“ in the most helpful way. I was a little skeptical initially, but so appreciated the disclaimer and was beyond pleasantly surprised when it worked for me. It helps soothe me back to sleep after I inevitably wake up most nights at 3 am and canāt fall back asleep on my own. Thank you for this podcast!

Works every time!
Who knew boring could be so much fun? On the nights when this podcast doesnāt drop me like a tranquilizer dart, I enjoy the observations and humor that closely mirrors my own.
Thank you, Scoots!

Super relaxing and helpfulšš¼
Going to sleep has never been easier. This podcast is wonderfully boring and has me drifting off in just minutes. It has been so helpful over the years and I donāt know how I managed without it. Thx Scooterš“

This review is long overdue
When I was a night shift nurse in a city hospital my ability to sleep was very important. I would sometimes come home after a traumatic event and know that I would not be able to sleep -that I would be replaying the event over and over in my mind. If youāve never been there, you just canāt comprehend the horror of going in to work a busy nursing floor when you have gotten no sleep.
Then I found Sleep With Me. He is very good at pulling me out of my own head. He will say something interesting so I listen, but then he didnāt finish his thought, and the ideas go nowhere, and it adds up to nothing, and off to sleep I go.
I donāt want to be too dramatic, but during that time in my life, I believe Sleep With Me might have actually saved lives.
Anyway, Iām a day shifter in a much lies stressful job now. But I remember when I needed help, Scoots was there. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and friends beyond the binary, itās time for Sleep With Me, the podcast, that puts you, to sleepā¦

Puts me right to sleep every time
I found this podcast years ago when I went through an insomnia period and nothing I usually did would put me to sleep. I somehow found it by the āafter the glass slipperā video on YouTube and that story was just so interesting, I was able to imagine it and sadly fall asleep (I still occasionally go back to it so I can listen because it is my absolute favorite story and will sometimes hear more than Iāve heard before lol).
But now, his intros are so boring, I turn it on and somehow wake up in the morning, not even remembering falling asleep. Some are interesting, but the point of the podcast is to put you to sleep and thatās exactly what it does for me. Also, there arenāt any loud random ads in the middle you have to wake up and skip.
Overall, I love this podcast, itās my favorite to sleep to. I will forever be grateful to have found it when I needed it most.

5 stars!
I love this podcast so much! It puts me to sleep every night. Bedtime used to be torture until I started listening to this podcast. :)

love this podcast
i use this podcast mainly for background noise purposes. i liked falling asleep with the tv playing, but the bright light from the screen always kept me up. this podcast gives me the audio/background noise of a show without the bright light/screen. i never really listen to what he says (seriously, i have know idea what he talks about lol), but just hearing his rambling voice is enough to keep my mind from racing with my own thoughts and puts me to sleep faster. š“

Nope
Dreadful vocal tone that positively grates. He jabbers about pure nonsense for thirty plus minutes and itās not at all restful or soothing.

Give Scoot a Chance
Life long insomniac, this is one of the only things that has helped me rest when I just canāt. Soothing is putting it mildly. Truly a masterfully crafted rambling to keep me company while I find sleep. The subscription is more than worth it!

You need sleep? Pay for it
I canāt explain how mesmerizing this manās ramblings are. Scoots needs to make a living and I need to sleep. Hand shake. I pay 5$ for a service that far surpasses expectations. I couldnāt do it with the ads, so If this is a priority pay for it. I fall asleep without my own mind controlling the narrative. I donāt lie awake screaming in my own mind. Sometimes I wake up mid- night with soft ramblings of a glow worm that costs 11.99 from 1988, and I drift back into oblivion. Scoots is actually so unintentionally and sometimes intentionally hilarious- it makes the awake moments worth it. If you truly want to sleep, and escape your own mind this is it. He is daddy sleep. Canāt wait to drift away. Thank you
