A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

No matter what kind of day I’ve had, Sleepy History always puts my mind at ease and ready to dream. This is also the first podcast I’ve come across whose episodes are all repeatable! It’s interesting even on the third and fourth listen, which is awesome!

horses_unlimited · Dec 2024

This is the best podcast to listen to at night. The voices are so soothing that I never make it through an entire episode! But great interesting topics . Well done on all aspects!

rdickers · Dec 2024

I have always loved the sleep history stories from the Get Sleepy podcast and Slumber app. Just interesting enough to keep you engaged and focused on a story but sleepy enough to let you drift off to sleep. I am so happy this has been created as a new channel. I look forward to more episodes!

AuntieRin_ · Dec 2024
