Sleep is the Selection as we learn more from Charles Darwin
On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection by Charles Darwin This one should help you sleep, as it’s so boring I lost track of what I was saying as I was reading this! I think it’s mostly about people breeding domestic animals? I did live edit some pretty racist stuff out so be warned if you look it up to read forther. Story (07:04) SleepPhones, our exciting new partnership In our experience the best way to experience the bedtime stories of Sleepy Time Tales is with some type of headphone or earbud, but they can be cumbersome and uncomfortable. So we’ve partnered SleepPhones, manufacturers of headphones designed specifically to sleep in! They use a thin speaker fitted to a comfortable headband and have options from the cost effective wired headphones to the convenient Bluetooth model and will work with Sleepy Time Tales to improve your night’s sleep. To check them out go to to check them out and support Sleepy Time Tales. New Merch Store!! I’ve partnered with TeePublic to setup a new merch store.
