Love hearing ploys for money
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.

THE best bedtime podcast
Iāve 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, Iād love to hear you tell stories while Iām awake but dear lord, this was awful trying to sleep.

Iāve been a paid subscriber for years and am also occasionally a super listener. There isnāt an option for me in your questions about continuing to make the podcast. I really want you to continue to but since Iām already a paid subscriber I donāt know how else I can tell you this.

Scooter Is The Best
I have always had a hard time falling asleep or have had to keep the tv on. Since finding this podcast all that has changed! Scooters voice and rambling tangents do the trick every time. And without the light of the tv Iām sleeping better through the night as well. Thank you for everything Scoot!!

The only thing that puts me and two babies to sleep
Iāve 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.

This Works!
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 Iām never awake for the end. I donāt know how he does it but he knows exactly how to get you to fall asleep. You wonāt feel so isolated when you go to sleep anymore and heās super funny. Iāve struggled with insomnia my whole life. Iām extremely grateful to have found Sleep With Me.

My bed went from šļø to šš¤š¤š¤š¤š¤š¤
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 Iām not alone. But I would rate it as four stars because I donāt always fall asleep.
@4: 80lā,
Thank you!
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 Iāve tried. Thank you for your witchcraft/service

Awesome!
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 itās for! Of course some people get put to sleep by him, but heās 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. Itās 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!

Insomnia goneish
Iāve 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, Iāve 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.

Pure witchcraft
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 arenāt that bad because you can just skip to like 30 minutes in (yes itās 30 minutes of ads Iām not kidding), but Scoots is very boring (compliment!), and it puts me right to sleep. So⦠Iām happy! Nice job.

Puts me to sleep
First time Iāve never finished a podcast episode because Iām asleep!

Like a sleeping pill, but without side effects
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.

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

Shockingly effective
The first day I used this, it didnāt work on me. The second day though, it worked very well. I fell asleep so fast! Iām 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 itās harder than itās ever been to find truly good creative genuine work across the board of cultural resources, whether podcasts or music or arts , the things we donāt even know to ask for . Iām so happy this exists Iām 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 š

Alba Salix - Gold
Alba salix series is something I listen to over and over. Itās so hilarious but I still can finally fall asleep. I re listen every night to try and make it through an episode. Itās actually indescribably clever but still canāt stay awake when I used to be awake at least 4-5 hours every night.

The Original Snoozecast
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. Iāve 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, āFriend of the podcastā 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.

Actually sleeping
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 donāt even make it through the whole Introduction! There is something about Scootās voice that blocks out the train of thoughts in my mind, and lets me drift off. If you havenāt listened to this podcast before, I highly recommend giving it a try. You have nothing to lose but insomnia

Sometimes Sleeping
scooter makes my nights so much less lonely!
itās hard to put into words the effect this podcast has had in my life. i have problems with sleep for a whole host of reasons, but after my long distance partner left to go back home it was especially bad. enter scooter. he talks me to sleep every night, making me feel safe and secure in a way i havenāt experienced since my partner was here. i am so thankful i found sleep with me!
also, this may seem unremarkable to some, but it really means a lot to me that he starts his greeting with āfriends beyond the binaryā. so often we are just the afterthought thrown into the end of the phrase āladies and gentlemenā, but scooter puts us first. itās a tiny little thing that makes me feel so welcome and important!!!

I'm 17 and I play this game
Very thoughtfully done and helps me sleep
I am a musician and often try to fall asleep quickly after a late night gig. Few things have worked in the past but this podcast is truly excellent in calming down my racing mind and helping me fall asleep as quickly as possible.

Scoots 4 Eva
Found this miracle of droning silliness during the great Panini of 2020. Thank you for being my best bore friend, you are a brilliant shining star in 95% of my nights and have a spot in my sleep disordered heart for life. I hope you have well deserved splendid dreams always.

Dear Scoots, I love you.
I love the way you make me fall asleep. And 'lol' whilst doing so. You help me every night, does anyone ever help you? How are you ? You're magic. My dog also snuggles me closer when I tell him "time to listen to Scoots." I'm your sleepy slumba lova foreva.

Nuns in Space 4 Ever!
Ok, I've been listening to this show for years now. It started out just as droning on (a good thing), but at this point I am such a Scoots fan. Thanks for doing what you do. For real. What silly magic you're creating!
Also the Nuns in Space series is the best. So perfectly bizarre, funny, and sweet. THANK YOU

best bore friends 4eva
I discovered Scoots about 7 years ago when my best friend went to the Big Farm in the Sky and I was having an awful time. I took a break for a couple of years but Iām so happy to be diving back into this show. Worth the subscription if you want all intros, story only, or ad free listening, or just want to support something that truly helps people. Really appreciate all the effort that goes into this show and the comforting welcoming space for people who struggle to get to sleep and stay asleep <3

Nooo! Not jolting obnoxious ads!
My heart and sleep are broken! Suddenly Scooter's sleepy ramblings are being violently broken into by obnoxiously chirpy and JARRING ad placements! It's happens just this week and I am so depressed by it. This happened on another sleep podcast I loved and I had to abandon it. Scooter has been my borefriend in times of need for over a decade but I cannot deal with the jolt from these ads forcing their way in. Is there anyway to go back to just ad reads from Scoots? I will change my rating to 5 if the ads go away. But with this new development it completely destroys the mission of this podcast. And for now, I have to abandon it. I am so sorry, Scooter. I will miss you. I know you work so hard.

Apple friends?
This was my go to and even had episodes that worked best saved but now they say apple friends only, and I canāt even listen to them without paying for apple friends?? Why would you do that? Guess Iām moving on to find another podcast.

I fall asleep during the intro
Iāve been a casual fan for a few years, but I recently got sober and have needed something to aid in falling asleep. And this has really comforted me. So soothing, consistent and really eases my anxious brain. Keep up the good work

Finally!
I love this podcast. I have always had trouble falling asleep and would toss and turn for hours. A friend told me about the sleep podcasts and I finally found this one. I have one complaint - I actually want to hear what he is talking about and I never stay awake long enough! š¤£. Thank you so much!

My 13-year-old son loves this pod
When my son told me his mind doesnāt stop thinking at night and it keeps him from falling asleep, I knew exactly what to suggest. Iāve been using Sleep With Me for about a year and it works like charm. Turns out it works for him, too. He plays it on his Alexa through Apple Music and heās out like a light before the story even begins. Thanks Scoots!!

I donāt know how it works, but it does. First discovered him during a deployment where I was really struggling to calm my mind enough to get peaceful rest. And yeah, I was completely skeptical at firstā¦but after a week straight of not making it past the intro I became a Bore Friend Believer! A Bore-liever if you will. I LOVE YOU! THANK YOU!

Try it
Honestly it took me forever to fall asleep but now I fall asleep in thirty minutes max. I canāt even begin to describe how good it is. Try it.

Good show needs one thing
Love this show. But needs a all intro channel. This will make night so much easier so I donāt have to search for them. Love this show 10/10.

Excellent! Funny and sleepy.
Never knew POTUS Biden has a podcast. Top notch rambling. Puts me right to sleep after a few moments of feeling like Iāve lost my own mind trying to follow along. Thanks Scoots!
romy884
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.

Sleepiest Podcast!
My daughter introduced me to Scoots during a hospital stay. An excellent soothing distraction from all the noises at a hospital. Iāve continued listening every night all night at home. I highly recommend to anyone needing some help releasing daytime stress. Scoots is my sleepy time friend and I am so grateful!
Sleepiest Podcast
Canāt RECOMMEND THIS PODCAST ENOUGH
Iāve been listening since 2021 and it has saved me countless sleepless nights I love it so much
Lawand Khalil
Thank you!!
I donāt know where I would be with out this podcast! It has gotten me through some of the most stressful nights. From writing my thesis in undergrad and now my dissertation in grad school, this podcast has consistently helped me get sleep when I didnāt think possible. I recently became a Borefriend and am so happy to be able to help support it! Thank you soooo much scoot!! You create such a wonderful atmosphere, think about it brings tears to my eyes.

Donāt knock it till you try it
He was definitely right when it takes a couple tries to get used to, especially if you donāt give it a proper listen but nothing else helps me fall asleep the way Scooter does! I have yet to finish hearing a full episode because Iām snoozing often before he even gets to the story. Itās like Iām having a conversation without having to actually say anything. Thank you sooo much for helping me keep my brain occupied with your thoughts before I fall asleep, because I know Iād be up a few hours with my own before finding this amazing podcast!! If you have the funds pleaaase support because idk what Iād do if I didnāt have this podcast š„¹

Boring or Infuriating, You Decise
I listened to the May 29th episode āWiz Kids Pilotā, and I am not exaggerating. The episode starts with TWENTY FIVE minutes of ads. Seriously. The content doesnāt start until 25:12. I know people have to get paid, but this is excessive.
Just donāt bother with the low effort trash. He apparently hates his audience.

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. Without this podcast, I might actually have gone crazy haha š I would pay the WORLD to get this pod back if it discontinues. So really, give it a try
