#129 Let me bore you to sleep - Jason Newland (15th April 2019)

Hello, welcome to LetMeBoreYouToSleep.com My name is Jason Newland and this is Let Me Bore You To Sleep. Please only listen to this when you can safely close your eyes. I'm now going to scratch my nose.

Oh, I'm tired. I'm very tired. I watched the new episode of Games of Thrones, or Game of Thrones, about a half hour ago.

And, yeah, it's good. So, it's really weird. I started watching it in 2011.

And, at the time, I didn't even have a television. So I was watching episodes online. So that was a bit weird, as I hadn't got a television for, yeah, for the first time in ages.

And the house where I lived, because it was a rented room, so the TV licence was already included in the rent. So I didn't have to pay for a TV licence, but I just didn't have a television. That is a really boring opening, isn't it, to the show, to the show, to this entertainment hour.

So, I'll do a little introduction, every now and then. I like to do a bit of an introduction to the show, just to the show, I keep saying the word show, to the recordings, just for those that may be listening for the first time. So, the idea, well, it's all in the title, really.

And I'm going to tell you a little bit how I came about doing these recordings. So, the reason I want to tell you this is because somebody online did a review of one of my episodes, not one of my episodes, one of the episodes of the podcast, and said that I was copying somebody else. Who's been doing it for about four or five years.

Well, although I haven't been doing these Let Me Bore You To Sleep recordings as long as that person, I started at the beginning of 2018 for these. I have been making recordings for sleep since 2006, and it kind of came about with people, I started making vlogs where I was just talking. And people were saying, I was really, you know, even though your vlog, you're talking about your life and stuff, I find it really relaxing and I fall asleep.

And this was, you know, 10 years ago or something. And then about 2011, again, I was doing more vlogs, probably a bit more back then. Because I used to do updates, and then I started doing a bit more in the vlogging side of things, which was, I deleted them all, but I used to make videos for you on YouTube.

I didn't release them as podcasts. And people used to keep telling me, they didn't say, you're boring, as much as they liked listening and found themselves falling asleep. And then some people told me that I was boring.

But in a sense of when I do the sleep hypnosis recordings, I'd start off talking kind of normally, softly, but normally and then slowing down. And, you know, sometimes it's focused, sometimes, you know, it's like a full body scan and, you know, focusing on each individual part of your body, relaxing or just focusing on the part because when you focus on each individual part of your body, your body just naturally relaxes. So, you know, I do those recordings.

I've been doing that, as I said, since 2006. And the whole kind of undercurrent of what I was doing was to be boring. It's hard, well, you know, I don't think it really fits together, for me anyway, to make a recording for someone to sleep to and to be, for it to be interesting, or at least in intonation of my voice.

And I'm a slow talker anyway, you know, not all the time, you know, I do get the occasional excitable moments where I'll talk very quickly. But I don't generally do that when I make recordings, because even if the recording isn't a relaxation session, I still like that to be the bare minimum that people get out of it. So if I did a chronic pain release session, or recording to help someone to stop biting their nails, or, you know, reduction of anxiety or dealing with, there's just so many different recordings I've done different things.

I always think that the worst case scenario, at the end of it, that the person listening will feel more relaxed, even if they don't get any other benefits, they at least feel more relaxed. And that's the bare minimum that I'm prepared to settle for. And relaxation comes, I find, a lot easier with an unexciting voice.

So, you know, I do, I have, I don't think that I have a monotone voice, although you may think I do. I don't talk like this all the time, and then everything sounds the same, and whatever words I say is the same, so if I say that I'm happy, or if I say that I'm sad, it's all the same. You know, I don't talk like that, and maybe sometimes I do, and I don't realize it.

Yeah, I don't think I do, but I'm a quite gently spoken person, generally. Anyway, you know, that's kind of... Although sometimes, you know, I'll be talking to somebody, and I'll say something that's really loud, I don't mean to say it loudly, and I kind of make myself jump. It's like, oh, where did that come from? I'm thinking maybe it's a little bit of trapped wind, so as I'm going to speak, I do a little burp or a belch at the same time, which pushes the word out a bit quicker, and, you know, makes it a little bit louder.

Maybe like a big trombone, trombone, trombone, not pwn, although trombone's fine as well. That doesn't make sense. Mind you, trombone doesn't really make sense when you're talking about a burp or a belch.

I prefer, I like burp, but it's not something I usually use. It's more kind of a mouth fart, you know. It's the equivalent, isn't it? Really.

I've smelt some burps from other people. I remember I was actually at a Buddhist center, and this person went and had a drink of Coke out of her bag, and then walked towards me and burped. Right in my face.

She didn't mean to do it, it wasn't like, I'm sure she didn't have it planned. I'm sure she didn't go to her bag and she had like a big evil plan written down, like, take a sip of this now, aim your mouth towards Jason's nose. And, but it was like really garlicky and proper.

It was like, oh, oh, that was, oh, it really, it shook me to my toes, it did, shook me to my toes. And I recovered, I was fine. I had a few counseling sessions and I'm fine now.

So that's kind of what these recordings are about. It's about being boring. But, as I was saying, I didn't copy anybody, although I did discover that there was someone else doing this, probably the end of last year.

Because I was actually searching for myself, as I like to do, which is a bit sad, but hey. And I wasn't searching for me by name, but I was searching for Let Me Bore You To Sleep, to see what other websites have embedded my sessions into their stuff, what other podcasts have got me on them and stuff. And I came across another podcast that was kind of doing what I'm doing, but he's been doing it longer, you know, doing the boring stuff a lot longer than me.

He's got probably about 700 plus episodes. So he's been around a long time, he's got like three different podcasts doing different things. And he's American, I forget his name.

And then I dug a little bit deeper and I thought, okay, let's see who else is doing this kind of stuff. Because I thought I was the only one. And then I thought, well, it's not bad if I'm one of two people in the world doing this.

You know, out of all the billions of people, it's not too bad to be one of the only people in the world doing it, focusing on being boring. So I did a bit of research. And I basically just searched boring podcasts.

And there was loads of lists of boring podcasts. And it was pretty much the same lists that are just basically different websites that just copied each other. And this man in America, he was at the top of the list pretty much on all of them.

So he's very much the most popular one in the world doing it, which is brilliant, you know, for him. And I think there's enough room in the world for more than one person doing this. And also different people like different things.

I'm not like him at all. I had a little bit of a listen to what he does. And I'm not, because it's all down to personality.

And we've got different personalities. We've all got different personalities, haven't we? So I can't bring, I guess I can't give you what he gives you, and he can't give you what I give you, maybe. I suppose it's the crossover.

Perhaps there's similarities. Maybe, I don't know. That would involve me listening, which I can't be bothered to do.

But I don't even listen to my own ones. God, can you imagine? I did try. I tried to listen to one, and I was like, oh.

I actually did a live recording with a friend, and it was a Let Me Boyd Asleep one, and he started talking. And he was basically doing what I do, and he was telling a story. It was a boring story, and I had to stop him and say, is that what it's like for other people to listen to me talk? He said, yeah.

I was like, wow. Yeah, that was just really boring. And it's, yeah, so I think the good thing about doing this is if people say that, well, obviously not everything that people say is going to be nice, but if they say it's really boring, then it's a win-win situation, isn't it? If people say I fell asleep, or some people say it's funny, it's company.

Some feel like I'm sort of company for you for an hour a day. Or it's just boring. Either way, it's a win for me.

So I kind of quite like that. You know, over the years, and I don't know which ones, but going back quite a while, I've had a few people that have actually got interested in hypnosis because of listening to me, or through listening to me, and have gone on to train in hypnosis. I think even some people have gone on to actually make hypnosis videos and stuff like that.

And so that's quite cool. I had a professor once contact me and ask permission. No, he's not a professor, he was a doctor.

He asked permission to use my recordings with his patients. Or, yeah, I think he was working in a hospice. And I said, yeah.

But then I never found out really what happened then. I had a lady called Angela. She actually, years and years ago, she took me on holiday with her on her podcast on iPod or whatever it's called.

And she actually made a video showing herself on a boat with the iPod. And it's like, wow, that's brilliant. And then, I don't know why this, I really like this for some reason, but about 2009, it might have been 2010, I had a DJ.

I forget where he was from, but he contacted me and he said, he asked me permission to use my voice, to take some of my voice and use it in a couple of songs that he was writing. And I said, yes. And he sent me the recording and it was like, wow.

You know, so I've actually, I've been in a song which was played in front of an audience that were dancing. So that's quite cool. I never, the problem, I think I might have been on, no, I was on Facebook then, because my space was pretty much gone by then, wasn't it? So I didn't keep contact with people, not the best at keeping contact.

And after a while, I don't think I heard from him again. I don't even know if he, what he's doing. I mean, he eats, who knows, but it was so cool.

I should have kept it though as well. I had, I had the songs, but I think it was on a laptop and the laptop broke. So I lost, I lost, you know, the stuff.

Didn't have a backup, which really what I should have done was uploaded it so other people could listen. But it was like me going, and my name is Jason Newland and you can sleep and blah, blah, blah, blah, all that stuff. That kind of sums up most of my recordings.

Blah, blah, blah, blah. Your knees are relaxed. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Your ears feel calm. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, that kind of, that is, that's my skill to be able to go blah, blah, blah.

So what I thought I would do is dig a little bit deeper because these reviews that I was finding online were the same people. So there were a few other people doing what I'm doing, but they do it differently. They're doing a different thing.

And there's a couple that do a pod, or did a podcast, they've stopped doing it. So there's some podcasts that were being promoted on these websites where they haven't done any new material or uploaded any new recordings for like a year or two or three even. So I kind of discount those ones in a way because they're not, they're no longer doing it, although it's still valid what they did do.

When I've got podcasts that I haven't made any new recordings for years and they get, some of them, at least one of them gets loads, loads of attention. It's very popular. It's the, what is it, weekly sleep hypnosis.

And it's everyday people still coming back and listening to it. So it's, I think they're doing some more as well. That's why I did the deep sleep whisper ones because I did eight, seven, eight, something like that.

And I had, and I did them, you know, quite a while ago. And I uploaded them as a podcast. And I was just surprised that, you know, people would come in and listen to thousands, thousands and thousands of downloads, even though I wasn't creating any new material for that podcast.

So I thought, well, I'd better start recording some more because I think it's only fair for me to do what people want me to do, providing it doesn't take any physical energy. You know, like running up stairs or anything like that. At my age, I have to plan stairs.

I really do. I don't even like, I don't even like getting into lifts or elevators. I'm lazy.

I can't even bother to lift my hand up and press a button. Sometimes. I've lived in a few places with lifts.

I wonder why we call them lifts and some other countries call them elevators. Elevator, that's a nice word, isn't it? I feel elevated after listening to that Jason doing his let me boy to sleep after having a good night's sleep. I feel elevated.

Sounds better than I feel like a lift. Although I feel lifted, which is kind of the same, I suppose. Yeah.

What I noticed though, with these lists of boring podcasts, most of them weren't supposed to be boring, which had I been the producer of those podcasts, I think I'd have been a bit, maybe a little bit upset actually. Because there's one person, he does stories, he reads stories out, which I'm going to be doing. So I suppose I'm copying, but he's a professional voice actor.

And he reads the older novels and things like that. Now if I was doing that, I wouldn't want people saying that I was boring. And then there's lectures on science.

So these lecturers, these people going up there, spent their probably 30, 40 years of their life studying this subject. And they want to share it with an open minded audience that the next generation of scientists can discover new cures and better ways for us to live our lives. And they're looking forward to getting on the stage and giving this lecture that could transform the world.

And it's being recorded for prosperity. It's a legacy. It's that lecturer's legacy.

And then people are listening to it because it's boring, so they can go to sleep. I wouldn't feel too happy about that, I don't think. There's even like radio shows where people are talking about musicians and, you know, there's a lot of stuff that people would listen to with interest that are being labelled boring.

So I didn't really take those into consideration. I think the only ones that I really classed as boring podcasts were the ones that were purposely boring. They set out to be boring and to send people to sleep.

And there was only a few of those listed online. There was a lady called Mitzi or something, I forget. And she tells stories to help people to go to sleep.

So I don't think she necessarily calls herself boring. But she tells stories and, you know, I think I had a little listen to her. So she does that.

So that was under the category. But I guess there was the sending you to sleep and the boring part kind of intermingled a little bit. Because, you know, I, in the past, not recently, but in the past, used to listen to classical music to fall asleep, to have a little nap.

And there was no way was the music boring. It was just relaxing. So it wasn't a case of, oh, not another piano.

Oh, is that another violin? Oh, what? I'm just bored with this. I suppose the cello's next, isn't it? Oh, here we go, a cello. What about a trumpet? Come on.

Let's just make this the most boring. Yep, trumpet. Brilliant.

Oh, and the piano's back. I didn't feel that way about classical music or any. I like piano music.

I'm not that bothered or excited about opera, if I'm honest. And especially to go to sleep to, because there's a lot of energy in opera. There's a lot of energy with the singing and a lot of it's quite upbeat, quite fast.

So I like slow music. You know, I don't lay on my bed and listen to the can-can. It's hard trying to think.

I don't know. What about you? Ah, you know, when I was a kid, when I was about, well, I was living in that room. So I was sleeping in the middle bedroom for some reason.

But I wasn't young. I was young, but I wasn't young, young. So I must have been about 14, 13, 14, something like that.

And I had a record player in my room and I borrowed an album from someone. Maybe, it might have just been from downstairs. It was just, it was open to the public.

You know, the family. Anyone could just take it. Not take it, but put it back.

And this was the soundtrack to big movies. From Star Wars, Superman, the Spaghetti Western films, Herbie. No, I don't know if Herbie was on there.

Yeah, I can't remember. Oh, Space Encounters of the Third Kind and 2000 Space Odyssey, I think. Maybe War of the Worlds, possibly.

What other songs would there be? Battlestar Galactica, maybe. I was trying to think of films, like really big movies and the theme tune, you know, like a recognisable sound or song. You know, like Superman, Star Wars, Star Trek.

They're very memorable sounds. And the Clint Eastwood films, you know, it's very, I couldn't even imagine it in my mind right now. Yeah, so I used to lay down on my bed.

Well, I put the album on first because I found that was a better order of way of doing things. Then I'd lay down on my bed and I'd listen to the album. Didn't have it up loud.

Didn't have it like really low, but I had like a volume that I could hear it comfortably. But hopefully it wasn't of a disturbing nature to other people that maybe didn't wish to hear that particular album at that time. Maybe they were doing other things that they wished to focus on without listening to Clint Eastwood's whistling or whatever he did.

I wonder what other music was on there. You can hear the train in the background. The day is starting for some people.

It's the early train, half past five in the morning. Wow. That's an early start.

And I used to find that I'd get really relaxed. I'd just relax all the, my limbs and I just feel so relaxed in my mind as well. And this was a time that I didn't know anything about relaxation or, you know, I didn't, I had no knowledge of any of that stuff, but I just liked that feeling of just laying down and just letting go.

And not talking and not listening, just being there and just having that sound there without my ears having to do anything, you know, just, it's just there. And because I knew most of the songs, it was also enjoyable. And I was also, I suppose, getting a real sense of kind of pleasure from it.

Physical, emotional. It was really nice. I remember it very well.

I don't remember what slippers I was wearing, although I might not have worn the slippers whilst I was laying on the bed. Because generally when I lay on the bed, I leave the slippers on the floor. But I haven't always done that.

It depends. If it's a cold room, I might keep my slippers on. If I'm only laying down for a couple of minutes, I might choose to leave my slippers on rather than put them back on again, you know, when I've decided to stand up.

It really depends. I'm quite open-minded to that stuff. I think it's good to be flexible when it comes to slipper usage.

And then when I moved upstairs, because there was two floors, three floors, or I don't know, third floor, I was upstairs at the top, and I used to listen to more kind of contemporary music, I suppose. At the time, it was like Madness. Actually, I used to love listening to, what's his name, Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley.

So they were, you know, not contemporary at the time. They were long gone at that point. But their music, I loved.

I loved Buddy Holly. I wanted to be Buddy. Well, I didn't want to be him.

But, you know, I liked the idea of that talent. He wrote so many songs in such a short time. He was a young, very young man.

A very young man. And, of course, Elvis. See, my brother was, my oldest brother was a massive fan, as big a fan of Elvis as you'll meet.

He loved Elvis Presley, and because he loved him, I therefore loved him. Because I looked up to him, and not to Elvis, although I did look up to Elvis, but to my brother. And I suppose I kind of wanted to be a bit like him, you know, as well.

But I kind of grew up from the age of seven, listening to Elvis records, you know, for years and years and years at home. But I never had my own Elvis record. And I remember saying this.

I was in the dinner table, I was at a dinner table at school, and the dinner lady, for some reason, and I don't know why, because there was probably at least one other person with me, sitting at the dinner table. It might be my friend Dean, who I spent quite a lot of time with through school. And I don't mean walking through school, I mean through the time period of probably from the age of... When I met Dean, I met him nine, about age nine, probably earlier, eight and a half to nine.

And I was best friends with him pretty much until I left high school. Although we kind of drifted apart a bit near the end of high school, because we went... The thing is with him, is he knew what he wanted to do. You know, he's very, I don't know, word like, well, whatever it was, I've got a lot of respect for, you know, being able to know what you want.

But he knew at an early age, he wanted to be a chef. And that's what he did. We both went to catering college, but I only went one day a week.

I think he was there, well, he might have been one day, I can't remember. But we both went there. He did a much longer course than me.

He got qualified as a chef, I was qualified as a kind of, a bit of a chef and a bit of a waiter kind of mixture. But I did, I did gain a qualification in that stuff. But I reckon at the time, I might have been a little bit jealous because he knew what he wanted and I didn't know what I wanted to do at that age.

If it could have been, if I could have done what I wanted to do, so he wanted to become a chef and he knew that when he was 15, let's say. When I was 15, I wanted to travel to Australia and go to a Shaolin temple and learn monkey boxing, which might sound like a joke, but it isn't. So it's a style of Kung Fu that was based on monkeys and how monkeys move.

I wanted to be, I wanted to learn different styles of Kung Fu, different martial arts and also wanted to be a singer. But that was it. I didn't, I didn't want anything else.

I didn't, you know, I suppose I wanted to be, I've done about in show business as such, but yeah, I remember when I was 17, 18 and just like regretting not being a boxer. I wanted to be a boxer, like a professional boxer. And I just, I think I was, yeah, I was 18, 17, yeah, something like that.

And I was lamenting, oh, I'm so old now, too old to become a boxer. I could have, I might've been quite good at it. There's no way of knowing, but I have done some boxing, but not, not in the ring.

It was just training. Because when I went to the, there's a thing called the ABA, Amateur Boxing Association, and they teach boxing to people. And then you can go into tournaments and become an amateur boxer.

And if you're, you can win, you know, you can end up going to the Olympics, you know, if you're, if you're like really brilliant and then go on to become a professional and win world titles, you know. But the people that they focus on is the kids, the young kids, the younger the better. So ideally someone of about eight, nine, 10 years old, they're the ones that they focus on.

So when I was going to the boxing, I was, what would I have been? It was 2008 or 2009. So I was like 38, let's say 38 years old, 39 years old. The trainers, the boxing trainers, hardly paid me any attention at all.

I mean, they still trained me and got me doing what everyone else did, but I wasn't allowed to compete because I was too old. So they didn't, you know, give any attention. So I was there, I was this, I think the only thing he ever said, one of the trainers said, oh, you've lost weight, haven't you? And I said, yeah.

And that was it really. That's probably the only conversation he ever had with me. And I kind of, if only I could have done that when I was 10, if I had gone to the gym, gone to the boxing when I was 10, at least then I could have just had some fun with it.

And then, who knows, competed for some, in some competitions, because I competed in competitions with karate, but it's not the same because, I don't know, there's something about boxing. I'm a big boxing fan. I just am.

It's the only sport that I love. I love it. I actually love boxing.

Amateur, professional. I just love it. It's the only sport that I love.

And when I moved to London, because I used to be really fit, I know that I've got a little bit of extra weight, a little bit, just a little tiny little bit, tiny, tiny, miniature bit of huge amount. And I could, I've got a belly on me and I have started going to the gym. Last week I started.

I went once, but it's a start. And I'm going to go this week. It all depends on what time I get out of bed really.

So I, when I went to London, I was fit, I was slim, you know, I was physically active in the work and the jobs I had. I was physically fit. I was very fit when I was 16, 15, 16.

And then I moved to London. I was 19, 18, 19 or whatever. And I went to Peacock's gym, Peacock gym, which is, I think it's the one and it's in the East London.

And I went in there and I just said hello. And I said, I'd like to join the gym, like join boxing gym. And he turned me away.

He said, no, you're too old, too old. Bye. Didn't even give me a second, a second look.

And I was like, wow, you know, I was still a teenager, too old. But I wasn't too old to compete as an amateur. You can compete as an amateur up to the age of, I think, 26, something like that.

So it's like, what do you mean too old? Anyway, I could have gone to a different boxing gym, but I didn't. I just, because it's, it's such a famous gym. One of the most famous gyms in the country, like boxing, boxing places in the country.

Although I did do some Wing Chun Kung Fu where I lived in East London. So that was quite cool. But it was boxing I wanted to do.

It really was. I wanted to be a boxer. I just like the idea.

I did do a bit of boxing when I was at school, but I think I went to two, two classes because it meant traveling to another town. And yeah, I was kind of trying to do that as well as the karate. And it was a little bit too much to kind of do it all.

But I do wish I'd kind of stuck at it because it would have ticked one of my boxes. So there's a couple that talk to each other in a podcast. They haven't done it recently, but I've not listened to them, but apparently they, they just tell each other silly stories, bedtime stories.

So I might listen to that cause it might be funny to listen to. And then it was just maybe 10, a list of eight or something podcasts, including people that were just not even making them to be sleepy or to be boring. So I thought there's got to be more than this.

And I kept researching. I couldn't find anything. The same bunch of podcasts kept coming up.

Then what I did, I actually went onto my phone, opened up a podcast host and searched on the podcast host. On an app, on, you know, on the podcast app. And there were a few podcasts devoted to helping people to sleep.

One was ASMR. One was, I think it was a hypnosis. There was three of my podcasts were on there.

Including this one, the Deep Sleep Whisper and the Weekly Sleep Hypnosis or Sleep Weekly Hypnosis, whatever it's called. I have four podcasts. There was another one, which is the insomnia, hypnosis for insomnia, sleep thing.

Where there's about 45 recordings, most of them are long, about an hour, 40 minutes to an hour long. And I just, but I found some, I found some that were doing what I'm doing, kind of, but most of them started after me. But I don't, you know, I don't think that they copied me.

I don't, I can't imagine anyone wanted to copy me. Because technically this is quite a strange thing to do. It's not, it's not a logical thing, really, to sit and talk for an hour and to purposely be boring, but at the same time to tell people stuff about your life.

As if they're listening, but the idea is they won't be listening because you'll be asleep. You know, it's a paradoxical kind of thing. But I found a few that are doing, not exactly this, people doing different things, different creative things.

So, I was quite pleased, I actually did make a list of them. And I did put it onto this website, the letmeboydosleep.com, but then I deleted the website, so I lost it all. So that was about three hours of work for nothing.

But it was a bit of research that it was worth doing for me, just to put my mind at rest that I'm not a copycat. This is just a follow-on from stuff that I've already done. I've been boring people for 12 years online, and for however long I've been able to talk, really, I suppose, 46 years, 47 years, 48 years.

So yeah, it's what I'm going to be doing as well. I've done a little bit of research for this. I found a website called Gutenberg, I think.

And basically, you can download books that are out of copyright, which means I can read them, there's no copyright to worry about. So I can read them, and, you know, because if I just, let's say if I picked a book, like Harry Potter, for example, and I read that, I would potentially have to pay royalties to Harry Potter. So I don't, you know, that's why the only books that I can safely read is books that are out of copyright.

Some of them are, I think, 80, 90 years old, some of them a couple of hundred years old. So basically anything Shakespeare, I won't be reading Shakespeare, but there's lots, there's hundreds and hundreds of books, classic books that are very famous, that I'm looking at perhaps reading. But I think it's really important to, I don't know, to folk, to remember that just because I'm reading a book boringly, to bore you to sleep, doesn't mean that it's a boring book.

Because that's, that's just disrespectful to the author, you know. So if anyone out there has a book that you've written, that you'd like, give me permission, you can send it to me, give me permission to read, then I could look into it. Ideally, if you've got a Kindle file, you can just send it to me by email to jasonnewland at hotmail.co.uk. But remember, it doesn't have to be a boring book, and if I read it, it doesn't mean it's a boring book.

And I realise that, I don't, I don't have to, I don't want to upset people by sort of saying I'm going to read a boring book and it's going to be about stamp collecting. Because there's probably millions of people in the world that absolutely love stamp collecting. And I don't, you know, it's not boring.

It's only, it's boring to people who aren't interested in it. It doesn't mean it's a boring thing. You know, we've all got things that, so I'm not a football fan.

And some people live for football, it's like the most important thing in their lives. And I don't feel that way about football. But it doesn't mean that it's, to me, football is not boring.

It's just not interesting to me. So if I heard someone talking about football, I would zone out, if I'm honest, if it went on for too long. I could tolerate maybe a minute and a half.

So it's about personal tastes, I guess. We all like what we like, don't we? We're all interested in the things that we're interested in. Some of us like gingerbread men to eat.

And other people like watching goldfish swim. Not really connecting the two there very well, but you know, it's different things for different people. So, I've also, I've been busy making websites.

I really have this weekend. I've now got five websites. So I've got jasonnewland.com, which is kind of the hub.

I'm still in the process of building that, but it is up and running. And everything that I do will be on there. Then I've got DeepSleepWhisper.com, which is the deep sleep whisper hypnosis recordings.

There's 73 or 74 recordings on there. And what's the next one? This one, LetMeBoyToSleep.com. And I think this is recording 129, I do believe. And then I've got the Weekly Sleep Whisper or SleepWeeklyWhisper.com. I can't remember what it is, but that's up and running.

And that's the seven day course, but I'm thinking of increasing that. And that's the pigeon. That's not available yet, but it will be tomorrow, hopefully.

And maybe next time I do a recording, perhaps tomorrow, I may look at reading a book or reading part of a book out of my Kindle. So I've got a few that I'm going to download. And so I don't know how to do it.

I can't read a whole book in one session, because apart from anything else, I talk slowly, just naturally. I read slowly, I talk slowly, I do everything pretty much slowly. Not everything, but not everything that I'd like to do slowly either, but generally I'm quite a slow person in what I do.

And the last book I did, it took over an hour to do a chapter. But I don't know if it's worth bothering doing more than one chapter, because I just don't know. Or, because I can, 60, 70, what's 300 minutes? 60, 120, 240, 300.

So what's that, five hours? Is that five hours? 60, 120, 60, 240. Yeah, wow. So technically, I can talk for five hours in one go on the podcast.

So I don't know if that's long enough to read a book. But that's a long time to talk, isn't it? Even for me, that's, yeah, that's probably more than I'm probably going to do. Maybe, oh, it'd be interesting, I wanted to see how long I could.

So I'm only, on this recording, can do five only, five hours. So I could probably read quite a lot of a book in that time, especially if I chose a small book. I should look at the Kindle, because I know sometimes it tells you roughly how long it's going to take to read it, or how long it expects it would take for the average reader.

What I find is it starts off saying, this book will take about three hours. And as I get through the pages, and I turn the pages, the amount of time it takes to read goes up and up and up, because I'm going so slowly. Okay, so I've read three pages, and now it's saying it's going to be about 17 hours before I finish it.

Okay, nice. So I shall go now. I shall wish you a wonderful sleep and a wonderful day ahead, and to feel safe, calm, relaxed, and remember that you deserve to be happy.

Bye.
