The absolute best!!!

I have searched everywhere for a true crime book, series, or podcast that was good to listen to as you fall asleep. "Gripping, not gory" is a perfect description. No nightmares just soothing true crime stories told whilst you fall asleep. It's a great way to silence my mind at night.

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. Yes, it 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 soothingly relaxing vocal tones and sometimes humorous antecdotes. Keep ‘em coming, Nancy! Thank you!
I did find one thing: When I groggily awake in the morning, Nancy is “podcasting” a particular episode, I find myself “having a conversation” with her during her talking, thinking I am next to someone in bed. When I fully awake, I giggle and start my day.
