Sleepy 9 -I Made This Bed

Welcome to Episode 9 in which Sleepy Donna bores you to sleep with a show about nothing interesting. Since there is no story to engage the mind, the body can drift peacefully off to sleep. "I made this bed. I don’t want to lie in it now. It’s a shame you need so much. Shame on me. I just don’t want to give. Look how high you’ve climbed! But have you given any thought to the faces that lie below? It wasn't always this easy for me to make cream knots. Chirping swans seemed to always get in the way...

Sleepy 7 -They’re Not Coming Back

Today’s boring and meaningless podcast is brought to you by a restful night and sound sleep. "She looked wistfully toward the smoky veil of music that was emanating from the hall.

There really wasn’t even room to dance anymore...." *A full transcript is available on the Sleep Nonsense Facebook...

Sleepy 6 -It Wasn't a Loss

Here is Episode 6, in which Sleepy Donna brings you meaningless but purposeful content to help you relax and fall asleep. "It wasn’t a loss. I think we’re forgetting a few things here. Do you remember the actors in the southern flame? When everybody else lost faith, we were the ones who kept the weights on the rack. It would be great if we could organize the family roles and display them with a funky, functional steel rail. I don’t know… Just give it some thought. If the pumpkin gets put in the ...

Sleepy 4 -You Can Reflect on Low Standards

In Episode 4, Sleepy Donna presents more nonsense to distract wakeful thoughts and whisk you away to dreamland. "You can reflect on low standards –or you can set your ambitions above your reach.

Welcome to Episode 3, in which Sleepy Donna gives another meaningless presentation to help you tame a restless mind. Thank you for listening, and have a good night's sleep!
