This podcast has been a godsend for the last few months -- it works better for me than any Benadryl, white noise, etc. I am 7 months pregnant and virtually guaranteed to wake up in the middle of the night... but with Scoots in my ear, I fall asleep easily and stay asleep for longer. Now I can safely say I am one of the well-wishers for anyone who needs some extra safety or comfort. Thank you, friend, for all you do for strangers around the world. I will gladly give money to keep this going, as for those of us for whom this podcast works, there is something downright magical at play here. I don't need to understand, just appreciate from the bottom of my heart.

They are shrill and loud. The complete opposite of what you are needing to sleep.

I found this podcast ten years ago, single and pregnant and suffering insomnia. His promise is not only to maybe help put you to sleep, but to stay with you. It’s lonely in the deep dark night, wondering who that little baby will be and if you’ll raise him all alone. It’s a comfort knowing Scoots is in no rush and is always full of compassion, no matter what’s keeping you awake. Ten years later, my husband of four years asks me regularly to , “put on a scoots”. We say thank you.

Works for me! Thank you !!!

I sleep now

Long time utilizer. Thank you

I was an occasional listener in 2020. Fast forward 6 years, and my 4 year old ask for her “best friend Scoots” every night, and puts her to sleep within minutes!

Love the walking episodes.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for years now but it has become unbearable because of the constant pleas for money from listeners and constant ads. I understand that audience support is important, but it is too much and actually keeps me awake waiting for the actual podcast to start. I wish they would go back to the way things used to be and keep the begging to a minimum.

I still remember the first time I listened to Sleep With Me about twelve years ago: “What the… who is this guy? What is happening here? Did I accidentally turn on a bedtime story told by a distracted camp counselor?” And yet, three or four nights later, I was completely hooked. Over the years, this brilliant podcast has carried me through: • menopause sleep chaos • chronic pain flare nights • middle-of-the-night wakings with babies • middle-of-the-night wakings with big kids • and the super fun 3:15 am “should I reorganize my entire life” spirals Drew bores you to sleep with genuine compassion and consistency. Truly life-changing.

Horrible I would give it negative stars. It’s like one giant ad Homie sounds super desperate. I can’t believe ChatGPT recommended this worst recommendation ever.

Love the TNG episodes. Thank you!!!

I like it but what’s with the Jeff Bezos character? That’s the least relaxing thing to think of when trying to fall asleep…am I missing something?

This show has helped me so much and I am so grateful thank you so much

Cmon Dawg. Just go back to what was good before. Not 15 minutes of ads and preamble.

used to listen frequently, haven’t listened in about a year. was really sick last night and could not sleep. remembered this podcast. thank you.

There has been a lot of stress impacting my life lately. I overthink and my mind races. This podcast is my saving grace. Every time I’m having trouble calming down, I turn this on and I never make it through. Recently have been waking up too early and having the same issue. Put this right back on and was surprised to wake up with my alarm at 8am since I had again, fallen back asleep. This is simply invaluable to me. THANK YOU!

Man, I am a software engineer with insomnia , this was the only solution to restructure my mind, rest, and get those neurons back on track. Scooter is creative, warm, like a friend, I will always pay my subscription as long as I can

This podcast is my go-to when all else fails me. There's something about it that just feels like a friend. Scooter is so warm and soothing, dull and meandering in the best way possible. The stories are an almost impossible mix of boring and creative, I find myself going back and starting back off from where I fell asleep because I genuinely want to hear the whole thing, even if it ends up talking 5 nights to do so. I especially look forward to the holiday episodes! Thanks to the Sleep with Me crew for all you do, this podcast has saved me from many sleepless nights.

Unlike most podcasts, the whole point of this genius podcast is simply to keep you company and distract you from whatever is keetyou up. It’s perfect. Like having the tv on with a perfectly calm show. My husband calls this ”the guy you fall asleep with.” :-)

His grainy voice aggravated me so much it woke me up even more.

Thanks to sleep with me, I no longer have insomnia. I have been trained like one of Pavlov’s dogs to start dropping off to sleep once the intro starts

My borefriend in the deep, dark night- There’s really nothing else that works for me like this podcast does-that has me sleepily giggling as I drift off…Wonderful!

The best thing about this podcast (and Scoots) is that he’s empathetic, silly, and repetitive, which is why this is genius. I don’t know what sorcery this is but it’s the best kind. I had the worst insomnia for years and tried this bc I was desperate to sleep. It worked. Highly recommend. Plus, if it doesn’t work by day 3, you get a surreal story that’s at least (not really) interesting. That’s kind of the point. Insomniacs: you’re not alone. :)

Love it!

Incredible

Most sleep podcasts either have loud annoying ads or pleas for money like this one. A quick nod to a sponsoring organization is ok. I will stick with podcasts that are designed for expression rather than income. The voice is ok, not that great.

Helps me fall right asleep every time

I’ve been listening for awhile and have introduced my wife to the podcast. She also loves it. We both agreed tonight that Scoots voice is like a satin blanket.This podcast helps me feel safe and less alone when struggling to fall asleep. What a gift.

This was highly recommended as a sleep podcast- I absolutely cannot believe this is even mentioned. No hate to the host, I’d love to hear you tell stories while I’m awake but dear lord, this was awful trying to sleep.

I’ve been a paid subscriber for years and am also occasionally a super listener. There isn’t an option for me in your questions about continuing to make the podcast. I really want you to continue to but since I’m already a paid subscriber I don’t know how else I can tell you this.

I’ve been listening since the very beginning. It started off with just helping me calm my anxious mind. Then after two kids, it has become part of our wind down routine playing in the background as we drift off to sleep.

My therapist recommended this podcast and I am amazed how well it works! I have been trying all kinds of podcasts to help me sleep and this is the only one that actually works. I love his stories. Well, the beginning because I’m never awake for the end. I don’t know how he does it but he knows exactly how to get you to fall asleep. You won’t feel so isolated when you go to sleep anymore and he’s super funny. I’ve struggled with insomnia my whole life. I’m extremely grateful to have found Sleep With Me.

Sleep with me helps me fall asleep and forget about like everything else like not in like a way that I like forget about everything but like it lets me think about something else in life overnight and it helps me fall asleep and feel like I’m not alone. But I would rate it as four stars because I don’t always fall asleep.

This podcast makes me laugh, smile and feel comforted. It helps my mind stray from daily worries. Thank you Scooter. This podcast is a Godsend

This knocked me out better than any drug I’ve tried. Thank you for your witchcraft/service

I know this is not for everyone! What makes him awesome is that he made a website that has other stuff to put you to sleep! I used to not be able to ever fall asleep, and I think people might not understand what it’s for! Of course some people get put to sleep by him, but he’s here so you have someone you hang out with in the deep dark night. Every night I listen because I suffer from anxiety which keeps me up, I listen to him and he takes it off my mind. It’s not for everyone but definitely for people like me! Please also note it can take up to a couple weeks to get used to it- like every thing does! Please try it if you can relate to this message!

I’ve been struggling with some pretty serious insomnia since the start of COVID. Since stumbling on this pod, and getting myself a nice set of earbuds to wear to sleep, I’ve mostly kicked it! Still some bad nights, but waaaaay less frequently. Thank you for all you do, Scooter, keep up the good work! I appreciate you.

This is the only podcast that helps with my insomnia. It does take a while to get used to, but I love it! 4 stars because there are ads. They aren’t that bad because you can just skip to like 30 minutes in (yes it’s 30 minutes of ads I’m not kidding), but Scoots is very boring (compliment!), and it puts me right to sleep. So… I’m happy! Nice job.

First time I’ve never finished a podcast episode because I’m asleep!

I love this guy. The meandering, stream-of-conscious content, comforting monotone voice relaxes me, shut off the endless thoughts in my mind, and keeps me company. Give it a go.

half the podcast is ads before the story starts so it keeps you up. plus i find his voice annoying

I remember listening to this guy over a decade ago. Indescribable rediscovery.

The first day I used this, it didn’t work on me. The second day though, it worked very well. I fell asleep so fast! I’m so mad at myself for not finding this earlier. It helps with my insomnia.

Wow where has this pod been my whole life! THANK GOD Chis Gethard over at Beautiful Anonymous mentioned he loves this podcast because it’s harder than it’s ever been to find truly good creative genuine work across the board of cultural resources, whether podcasts or music or arts , the things we don’t even know to ask for . I’m so happy this exists I’m so happy you get it and for me you do get it, I soooo appreciate you putting this out despite how hard it is these days for original independent creators to be visible and discoverable in the vast weeds. Thank you thank you thank you 🙏

Alba salix series is something I listen to over and over. It’s so hilarious but I still can finally fall asleep. I re listen every night to try and make it through an episode. It’s actually indescribably clever but still can’t stay awake when I used to be awake at least 4-5 hours every night.

Accept no zzzubstitutes! Back in the day, my buds would come over to hang and I would invariably be snoozing which lead to the nickname Sleep King. I hardly earned that like Scoots has gently and consistently risen to the top of the heap of fluffy mattresses of (almost, nearly, usually) effortless sleep. I’ve been a listener since the first wave of press back in 2013 and have enjoyed countless extra hours of sleep which yes, does feel worth $5, $10, $? a month in support on Patreon and here. Dearest Scooter has sent me kind thank you videos for my patronage and generally just seems like a great dude you would enjoy getting a coffee with. If SWM works for you like it does for me, try it at 0.75x speed to unlock extra sleepy powers. I know scooter sometimes reads this so couple friendly corrections: though he is no stranger to Tinseltown, “Friend of the podcast” Antonio Banderas lives in Spain, not Hollywood. The Rainbow Bridge generally refers to the place where owners and pets joyfully reunite in the big farm.

I’m asleep within 10 min.

I confess I keep trying other sleep apps. But after tossing and turning and getting annoyed, I keep coming back to Sleep With Me, and I almost always fall asleep halfway through the episode. Sometimes I don’t even make it through the whole Introduction! There is something about Scoot’s voice that blocks out the train of thoughts in my mind, and lets me drift off. If you haven’t listened to this podcast before, I highly recommend giving it a try. You have nothing to lose but insomnia
