Discussions With Spirits And Worms Will Help You Sleep

The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World by The Duchess of Newcastle

This novel is supposedly one of the first science fiction novels, and it’s certainly an artifact of its time, even if not exactly a rollicking story.

The Empress, from out world, is still investigating the nature of the place she finds herself in. and Summons spirits to learn what is happening in the world above.

What follows is a philosophical discussion of the nature of Spirit, Matter and the Soul which I am pretty certain will help you fall fast asleep.

SleepPhones, our perfect partnership

In our experience the best way to experience the bedtime stories of Sleepy Time Tales is with some type of headphone or earbud, but they can be cumbersome and uncomfortable.

So we’ve partnered SleepPhones, manufacturers of headphones designed specifically to sleep in! They use a thin speaker fitted to a comfortable headband and have options from the cost effective wired headphones to the convenient Bluetooth model and will work with Sleepy Time Tales to improve your night’s sleep.
