Roughing It by Mark Twain | Bedtime Story for Sleep

from Sleepy Time Tales - Bedtime Stories for Sleep and Relaxation · host David Couto

Can’t sleep? Tonight, let’s travel back in time for a relaxing bedtime story as we read "Roughing It" by Mark Twain. Written in 1872, this classic travel memoir follows a young Mark Twain as he journeys by stagecoach across the United States to Nevada.While the original tale is full of humor, frontier adventure, and pioneer history, it is read tonight in a calm, monotonous tone designed to help you relax, decompress, and drift off into a deep, peaceful sleep. (You might even catch me struggling to decide on the proper pronunciation of "Nevada" along the way!)Whether you suffer from insomnia, mind-racing, or just need a soothing voice to help you unwind after a long day, close your eyes and let this boring bedtime story help you fall asleep fast. Find Roughing It by Mark Twainhttps://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/3177  *note I am experimenting with helping searchability by using AI to write my descriptions, nothing you hear is touched by any AI, it's all me*  Supporting Sleepy Time TalesIf you would like to support my work and help keep the podcast available and for free, there are several ways you can support the show.·        You can support the show as a supporter on Patreon and receive a host of bonuses including Patron only episodes and special edits https://www.patreon.com/sleepytimetales·        If you’re enjoying Sleepy Time Tales and would like to make a financial contribution, but would rather not commit to a monthly payment then you can throw a tip in the jar at https://ko-fi.com/sleepytimetales PatreonSleep Tight PatronsChuckRobertaTraciCarlaAYAmyJacqueSoniaAbbieGinaGwenJenniferMindyNancyChristyneWendyKreesti Please ShareIf you’re enjoying the show, and finding it helps you sleep despite the stresses and strains of your life, the absolute best thing you can do is share it with your friends, families, acquaintances, cellmates etc. Anyone who needs a good night’s sleep might benefit.So please share it with the people in your life, whether in person or on social media. Find The ShowWebsite: https://sleepytimetales.net/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sleepytimetalesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/sleepytimetalespodcast/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/SleepyTimeTales Merch: https://sleepy-time-tales.dashery.com/ Project Gutenberg Terms of Usehttps://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:Terms_of_Use
