Just What I’ve Been Looking For!

Perfect for falling asleep - no jarring audio effects or ads, good stories, great voice. Only quibble is order of episodes in Audible, for some reason, eps don’t flow in order.

What a brilliant idea!

I would like to thank Nancy Elizabeth Miller for her captivating podcast, “ Dead Sleep True Crime for Bedtime.” Can’t sleep? Have insomnia like me? Then I highly recommend “Dead Sleep.” It works. It really does. I’ve been listening for months now via Alexa and look forward to more. Miller’s vocals go above and beyond. She narrates each episode with her comfortably relaxing vocal tones and sometimes humorous antecdotes. Keep ‘em coming, Nancy! Thank you?
