Erik’s voice is the perfect voice to fall asleep to. Thank you Erik!!

I was never a believer in being able to fall asleep to this kind of stuff but this podcast has proved me wrong! This man’s voice is so magical and calming. I will turn it on and relax and before I know it, I’m walking up hours later on a whole different episode! I just need to get better at putting the app on sleep mode so it will automatically turn off!

I’ve struggled with insomnia for years, and every other bedtime story podcast I’ve listened to is repetitive and unoriginal. However, I stumbled across this one a few months ago, and let me tell you, it has been a game changer! If I ever wake up in the middle of the night, I just listen to one of these stories and Erik’s voice just lulls me to sleep. I also love the representation and diversity. As a transgender person, the nonbinary protagonist in The Forgotten Flame Of Beltane makes me feel seen. All this to say, I love this podcast and highly recommend it.

I just listened to forgotten flame. The pronouns were they/ them. Makes the story confusing. And I don’t need somebody pushing their ideology on me when I’m trying to get to sleep. And if it actually is an old Scottish tale, I’m sure the heroin had a sexual intensity.

I have a dozen sleep story podcasts that I like but this is by far the best. Erik's creativity, storytelling prowess, positivity and vocal skills blow my mind. Bonus points for inclusivity. Thank you so much!!!

I am obsessed after scrolling on TikTok and stumbling upon this heavenly voice! Omg, you were blessed with the voice of the gods ☺️ I wanna mention I completely understand about the darker tales that at any other time of year although I love em’…I know they aren’t for everyone but I’ve been told I’m a peculiar girl a time or two lol I just love a good ghost story or darker fairy tale during the month of October 😁 can we get one or two this year? Pretty please🙏

Best stories ever

Searching high and low for many moons to find a peaceful story time podcast to sleep to. Was lucky to actually find out out LTS on TikTok. Love the morning chats on TikTok and the nightly story’s to wind down to.

Eric is a great storyteller, and picks a great variety of stories and poems. I have insomnia, and this has been such a great find for me. So much in fact that I don’t just listen at bedtime, but whenever I feel like a want a deep friendly voice to keep me company. Especially if it’s a dim rainy day. I hope to write a short story that I can submit one day. If you’re looking for creepy, interesting, and inspiring works read very well. Look no further! You are here!

I have listened to just about every sleep story on several platforms and Listen To Sleep is the ONLY one that helps me fall asleep fast and stay asleep. I keep it in my headphones all night! I even paid to subscribe to the premium version because it’s so reasonably priced and very much worth it! Highly recommended!!!!!

I listen to these stories every single night!! I love the messages behind each and every story, as well as the fun and enchanting world they reside in. I owe my restful nights to you, Erik. (Shoutout the the sleepy squirrel being my favorite story) Keep it up!

They are literally the best! To start, great story’s! Second, THEY ARE A TAYLOR SWIFT FAN!!! Listen to this TONIGHT!

Thank you for producing the content you do. I am going through a very difficult time right now and I found your podcast a few weeks ago. The meditations you have provided are really helping me explore and let go of the pain I have been carrying around. You are truly helping people in a genuine and gentle way. I think it is particularly helpful because I have a lot of trauma with men and hearing a male voice guide me softly as I navigate this journey of my life helps release some of that energy I’ve carried for 34 years. Thank you ❤️

Oh no! This was my favorite sleep show before the loud commercials were added…. Now, as soon as I start falling asleep, the shrill voice and energetic music wakes me up:((( I can surely understand the need for commercials, but they really need to be done in a more quiet, soothing manner, or otherwise it negates the whole point of sleep podcast. The show itself, as well as the host are great. Please, please change to non-disruptive ads!

This pod is rly good I can’t sleep without a podcast or something and I’m so glad that this is the one I found! ❤️

Fellow anxious insomniac. I try to manage with different podcasts, audio books, sound machines… then here tumbles Erik across my insta. I absolutely love your stories. I can imagine myself in them. Your voice allows me to disconnect from the millions of racing thoughts and the story’s are so captivating. Literally, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, isn’t even enough. Get comfy and turn this podcast on. Erik will guide you through a majestic story or some of the best meditations.

I have insomnia and most nights I am up till 4:00am along health issues When you speak I can actually see the places that you are describing I enjoy reading it takes you to a whole new world Thank you bringing peace and tranquility to my nights once again 🫶🏾💕

I started listing to this podcast almost a year ago. I’ve always had a hard time falling asleep. This variety of stories and meditations have not only helped me fall asleep, but also serves are a perfect way to reflect and calm myself before bed. Until recently, I had a very stressful job and my day to day was constant anxiety and low self esteem. My internal thoughts were hard to escape and even harder to let go of right before bed. The meditations helped me to take time to really let go of some of the negativity I was carrying around. In those quiet guided meditations, I began to recognize what peaceful rest felt like. Erik and the podcast have become a staple of my daily routine. I love all the sleepy stories as well. With a very soothing voice that makes me feel like a child listing to stories at bedtime. Erik has made the podcast very personable, sharing his stories from the cabin, which adds a layer of comfort with each new episode. Thank you Erik. If you ever read this, I just want you to know how much this podcast means to me and I hope you can continue doing what you love.

I’ve had trouble sleeping my whole life. I have tried pretty much every sleep podcast available but Listen To Sleep is by far my favorite and now the only thing I listen to at night. Erik’s voice is soothing and helps me drift off. I love the variety of books, stories and meditations. I have been listening for a while and am embarrassed that it took me this long to review, but I genuinely hope it helps someone else find this gem of a podcast and get the sleep they deserve! Thank you, Erik! I am so grateful for you and this podcast!

Unbelievable!! Thank you sir!

I’ve tried many sleep podcasts over the years due to insomnia. I still subscribe to several but find myself listening to Erik’s almost nightly. I don’t think I’ve stayed awake through any of the Around the world in 80 days readings.

Eric’s voice is so soothing. The stories he tells are amazing and the ones he writes are just as great! Ty for bringing sleep and meditation back into my life Eric!

Always knows how to set the perfect tone. Soothing voice, and a great spiritual guide.

This is one of my favorite podcasts bc the host is a great narrator with good content. Thank you!

I appreciate the simplicity that comes with the guided meditations. I like to follow with an unguided meditation. If it’s not “nothing much happens”, I’m putting this on to fall asleep to!

I’ve searched around and listened to a lot of sleep podcasts but mainly listen to yours. They seem to suit me as I love the outdoors too. Also love that you include Bodi and the cats! Oh I also found you on Instagram…and I made the pizza recipe!! I have to eat low carb so this was a great crust!! Thank you for all the effort you put into every you do!!! It’s appreciated!!

Oh my gosh, I can’t even express how helpful LTS is for my life!! I’ve developed some severe anxiety over the last year, and it’s been hard to manage since I’ve never dealt with it before. Medications just make me feel zombified, and I have a hard time finding ways to calm myself down when I feel an attack coming on. I’ve been listening to the sleep stories to help me get to bed, but today I listened to one of the meditation episodes when I felt an anxiety attack coming on. IT WORKED WONDERS!!! By the end of the session, the tightness in my chest had almost completely released, and I was able to continue my work day! Listening to Erik is like listening to an old friend who’s helping me center myself. I joined his patreon today because I will GLADLY pay to keep this podcast going!!! Thank you so much Erik 💜 please keep doing what you’re doing!! Also - I love the original stories! Hearing about life on the mountain makes me so happy!!! 🥹

Thank you so much for helping me relax & sleep! Xoxo

Delighted to find this podcast. Not only did I grow up in Rhode Island, and live now in Northern California, but I love Viking culture. All of these elements were in the first episode I sampled, 256. I have no idea how the episode ended because I fell asleep. Mission accomplished.

Recently found Listen to Sleep and I am thoroughly enjoying it. It’s the perfect listen when you wake up in the middle of the night and need a little something to keep your mind calm and to get back to sleep.

Any time I’m having trouble sleeping Erik’s soothing voice helps me fall asleep. I love hearing stories about the cabin as well as the stories he reads.

I love Eric’s voice and how the stories are read. They’re very soothing and have the right amount of fairytale magic that a bedtime story requires. The one thing is that there are like twice as many adds in this podcast than other sleep story podcasts I listen to. Literally 7-10 minutes of adds at the beginning of every episode.

In the past the only way I could sleep is if I was heavily intoxicated but ever since I’ve started listening to listen to sleep it’s become easier to fall asleep

No matter the stress, swimming in my head. Your voice always tucks me into bed. Thank you ❤️😊

Hi Eric, I love your podcast and gentle voice and that you share your feelings and experiences on the mountain with your dog friend, your stories and mediations help me relax and sleep and I’m grateful to have found you. Thank you kindly, Frances

Love this podcast. One of the best sleep podcast out there.

Erik’s soothing voice readythese stories will put you to sleep every time. It’s a great way to shut off your mind and relax. I highly recommend this to help you fall asleep.

I have been listening to podcasts at bedtime to help me sleep since 2007 and am so grateful that we finally have a wonderful complement of shows that are designed specifically for that. (I had found shows that had a single narrator, regardless of topic, just to have the same voice lull me to sleep.) Over the last two years, I have tried at least ten different podcasts and have narrowed my financial support to the very best. Erik made the cut, with his soothing voice, genuine love of providing this wonderful service to his listeners, and his openness is sharing his life on the mountain. My only side comment is that I would love if Erik would split his show into two - one just for the sleep time stores and the other for the meditations. I feel they serve two distinct purposes and when I go to sleep, I just let my podcasts play all night. I have to skip the meditations when I wake up because they don’t work th same magic for me. That said, I understand the costs of maintaining two separate podcasts could be prohibitive. So, I’m grateful for what we have. Please keep up the good work Erik and if I ever create my own podcast, you’ll be the first one to know! Hugs, Lisa

Love his voice, but several minutes of ADs is wayyyy to much! I just move on!

Erik does a wonderful job of reading stories and meditations in such a soothing way. I really appreciate having his podcasts to knock worrying thoughts out of my head at night and allow me to drift asleep listening to the stories. I also encourage folks to support him on Patreon.com. Thanks Erik!

Very gentle calming voice, helps you fall asleep fast. Great storytelling, definitely will be subscribing for the monthly storytelling.

This podcast means so much to me. I found him through TikTok when I thought his voice sounded like the man from the Curio shop on Webkinz and it immediately transported me back to my childhood and I felt so calm and at ease

His podcast is wonderful and his TikTok’s are small version of them

He has a very calming voice - I would love to actually hear the podcast and not ads but lost patience.

I don’t have trouble sleeping at all but I do have problems with waking up randomly and this helps tremendously! His voice is so soft yet so comforting it’s like you can really imagine his stories he tells.

He seems like a nice guy. He speaks in a deliberate and soothing way that still feels genuine. Sometimes I find podcasters’ adoption of a soothing voice to be too self-conscious and patronizing - like they are acting out what they think a soothing voice should be. I end up distracted and annoyed by it and not soothed at all. But Eric seems to just genuinely be trying to help me sleep, the way a really nice Dad would. The content here is just right too. I especially like the stories though the meditations are good too. The content isn’t pointless stuff I would never otherwise listen to. I’m interested enough to enjoy listening even though I don’t usually hear the end. But I just re-listen the next night, starting a little farther in. 🙂

I never write reviews but this podcast has been helpful and I really wanted to show some support! I love Erik’s voice. It is so calming. The podcast has lots of episodes so I never have to worry about finding another show. The podcast is rich of content and seems to be good for my subconsciousness. Tbh I never passed the introductions before I fall asleep lol. Thank you!

This podcast has been a life saver with my insomnia. I really enjoy coming to bed every night and listening to your voice and just forgetting about what all is hard in my life and in the world. I am so very thankful for you. Thank you so much.

Erik I need to thank you for helping with my insomnia. You have such a soothing voice and I love the stories about Bodhi.
