The Lighthouse by the Sea: Guided Sleep Story with Rain & Storm Sounds
Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 06. 2024
- In this lighthouse sleep story, we embark on a journey to Ireland and a very special place by the sea, where you can fall asleep in warmth and safety, while a storm is raging outside. I wish you a pleasant rest and a great sleep… 😴
This Lighthouse Sleep Story is for adults and in the present tense from the "you"-perspecive, making the story very immersive and as if you are right there. We walk through an old fishertown, the coast and beaches of Ireland, discover the beautiful land sight and as night approaches, find shelter from a storm in an old lighthouse. After my narration, the sounds and music will continue to play a little longer, so they can accompany while you sleep. #sleep #sleepstory #narration #audiobook #meditation #sleepstories #sleepstoriesforadults #guidedimagery #guidedmeditation #guidedmeditationforsleep

You make me want to see Ireland sounds breathtaking. Keep this channel alive please. Cant see how u dont have millions of listeners.gonna have to pass you around the old campfire.😊
Ireland is one of the most beautiful places on God's earth ❤❤
I've recently discovered your channel and added it to the list of channels I listen to to distract myself from the daily health challenges I face.
I am learning to give myself permission to use "distraction on purpose" as a management tool. I am diagnosed with a list of chronic mental and physical health challenges including bipolar spectrum disorder, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue syndrome and TMJD (affects my jaw joints and nerves). Basically I live with 24/7 pain and discomfort, extreme tiredness and I am almost always depressed even when my bipolar is controlled by medicine (it blunts the extremes most of the time).
The distractions I use to shift my focus from the negative spiral (of pain, fatigue and depression) and onto what I am able to do for myself to heal/help include CZcams videos of audiobooks, music/ambience, sleep stories, hypnosis, meditation, visualisation and other relaxation techniques that use my imagination to help me escape for a little while. I also use tools such as audiobooks, DVDs, cds, books, paper puzzles like crosswords and sudoko, jigsaw puzzles, colouring in, journalling, writing short stories, creating art or crafty stuff like crochet, beaded jewellery and diamond/Dot paintings.
My motto has become "I will focus on what I am able to do". Even if it's laying in bed and using my imagination to escape the moment. I think the repetitive thoughts and do the actions that help, heal or move me forward. I am careful to make time to have fun, to rest, to do nothing for a few moments but breathe and observe myself.
I hope this comment will inspire some of those who can't sleep or who face challenges (physical, mental, etc) to think of the thoughts and actions that lead them into the best sleep and health of their lives.
As I get busy doing the things that help me to feel positive or useful in my daily life then the negative/hurtful/harmful things like pain, tiredness, depression, worry, frustration, guilt, etc take up less of the time and energy I have. I actually manage to sleep more than 2 hours in a 24 hour period now.
At my worst I was awake between 20 and 23 hours a day and what little sleep I had was broken into 15 or 20 minutes at a time because pain would intensify and wake me. I've lived with constant pain since 1999 as a result of an accident. I say all this because I want to give hope to those who read my comment and who suffer any challenges: things will change, celebrate the tiniest of wins/gains towards relaxing/sleeping/resting as they add up to make progress. It's an invisible war that we fight so encourage yourself and others and give yourself the loving kindness of compassion. Take my comment as a virtual hug or hand on your shoulder or handshake. Well done for doing what you can. Blessings from South Eastern Australia, Dot
I have no idea what this story was about. I was asleep within minutes and didn't wake up all night long. Appreciated.
Every night for the past months I woke up at around 3 am and stay awake for hours.. by the time I wake up for work I am too exhausted. Tried listening to this for 2 consecutive nights and I am amazed 🙏😃
I have the same kind of insomnia! It's horrible!
Same! I’m so glad to know other people have the same torturous thing happening (not glad…you know what I mean lol)
Me too
Me too broken sleep is the worst.These bedtime stories help!
I have tried looking up for people causes and it ranges from spiritual down to health . I honestly don't know what to believe , yes the sleeping sounds help but i would like to know how i ended up here in the first place . 3 am sharp everyday !
Can’t sleep without Stephen!!!!!!

Are you better? 😢
@@krystal2202 thank you ,
@@3SeasonsUSA not yet but tey say i will get stronger once i start moving around
I only listen to your stories every night. Love your voice and sleep better than I have in years
I just had to go back to listen to this one again. The wave sounds are awesome in this story. You've improved and this channel has grown so much in a year. I'm excited about that 100,000 subscribers that I know is coming soon. I think we should all have a party to celebrate 🍾 that day. 🤔 We can call it 🌎 World Wide Stephen Dalton day!!!.😊
I want to go to Ireland so badly, County Wicklow mainly. One day, I hope. 💕
Wicklow is beautiful! The 'garden of Ireland'. You'll make it one day! Stephen :)
I came across your page last night and I've never tried anything like this before but now im going to listen every night..i woke up and had to comment and tell you thank you and i will be listening every night😊
I have terrible insomnia and I find myself now listening to Stephen every night. It does help a bit. I love the stories with ocean sounds & rain
I'm already in Ireland but I'll travel to the lighthouse tonight ☺️🤣
Ha that's great Amy. Hope you enjoyed :)
Stephen, I just wanted you to know what a gift your podcasts have been to my life. I'm not even sure if I've ever listened to a full episode😆 but I'm sleeping great and if I wake up and can't turn my mind off, your soothing voice helps me to drift back off to sleep. Thank you!
PS my favorite part is when you get us settled in and relaxed. It reminds me how blessed I am and makes me feel present in my mind and body.💗
Thank you Ana 🙏🏻
I love your story’s I always drift off to sleep when I listen to your stories so relaxing a big thank you ❤❤❤❤x
Stephen - your Meditation & Sleep videos are the BEST for me! I lost my husband last November to a middle-of-the-night heart attack, and I was falling asleep to the TV for company. This was terrible for my sleep as I woke up so many times during the night as the TV got louder or brighter. I was so exhausted which really made my days hard when I’d have to nap in the afternoons. Then I found your videos - they have made such a difference - just slept 7 full hours and feel so refreshed!
Thanks for your suggestions and the rich variety of sleep stories as well although I haven’t heard much of the actual stories - I fall asleep so quickly! ❤🎉❤😴💤😴
Sending you peace Mary 🙏🏻
I like there breathing and relaxation techniques before the stories and I love when the sounds continue afterwards . I love sounds of water.
Your voice is like a warm cup of honey milk....so cozy and comfortable 🥛🍯
Finally someone else who drinks honey milk- 🥲
Absolutely ❤
I've always wanted to go to Ireland! My father says our Bailey ancestors came from Dublin. Your description of a place you obviously love is so wonderful and causes my imagination to run free! Maybe one day I will get to see Ireland with my own eyes but for now just listening to you describe it is amazing! Thank you!
I moved here 19 years ago it is and also isn't what you'd expect
@@paulacnote why?
Lighthouses fsscinate me and I love stories about and with them 🙂 They are also beautifully designed and built as well. 🙌🏽
The ocean waves and background music are a wonderful combination and bonus. I really love that you use them; it helps me calm down 🧘🏽♀️ before I relax and unwind during the relaxtion exercise. 😌
Thank you very much Stephen, for this amazing story and experience. 💜
I’ve woken up feeling so poorly today. Knowing I’d struggle getting back to sleep, I found your video and hit play. I didn’t even make it to the story and managed to get another 2.5 hours. You’ve such a lovely, soothing voice, and the sound effects are 👌🏼. Thank you so much!
Beautiful, I love the sound of the ocean waves. Something about the sea that brings us to another world looking out into the edge of eternity. It reminded me of this film where a woman had lost her first husband he was from Ireland, a lad with a sense of humor, but he passed away. He left her letters to go to Ireland on a journey of healing there she met one of his old friends. The sojourn healed her heart.
Ah yes I’ve seen that one too 🙏🏻
P.S. I LOVE YOU ❤ Wonderful movie 🥰
Is Dingle the west though? 😜gorgeous tale. I’m from Cork, my grandad was a painter & decorator and painted all the lighthouses in Munster. A few others too, Tory island, Hook Head etc.
We used to visit him when he’d be there, it would take him some time because of the unpredictable weather.
Big storm in Cork tonight, couldn’t sleep, thinking of him all those years ago. This is just what I needed. GRMA, tah 😌
Haha! Yes it’s in the South West. 😊 Lovely to know that people are listening at home. Thanks for writing and telling me about your grandfather. Lovely to hear. Happy that the story helped. Take care 🙏🏻
Absolutely love that you mentioned the timer and Autoplay option. Shows that you are interested in helping your listeners and not just want to profit from them. Really appreciated!! Brilliant channel ❤
I've been listening to different ones for the past week or so, and have NEVER heard more than 5 minutes of any story ~ I fall asleep so quickly! I think your speech pattern/pauses are what does it.
Thank you😊
Also beautiful illustrations ❤
I have chronic insomnia. Just discovered this and am amazed at how it’s helping me to get to sleep.
Thank you Mr Dalton 🙏
This is awesome Heidi 🙏🏻
Found your channel last night and instead of laying in bed for hours almost in tears with frustration and exhaustion I fell asleep easier I know because im here to try finish the story I missed out on haha...thankyou! I have subscribed because I know I will be back every night 🌙 😌
I'm happy to play a part in you finding sleep easier. Stephen :)
I love this story,I am wide awake just listening and enjoying. I plan to watch and listen daytime tomorrow on bigger screen TV. I love you, I love Hope and Melissa the cat and Fred the dog, my go to for sleeping.✨✨
Back again!!!!❤
I have been suffering with sciatic for the past three months, found it difficult to sleep, but found you and your stories & lovely voice: I have been sleeping much better, thank you.
Happy to read this Penelope 🙏🏻
I have heart palpitations at night and this has helped calm them twice. Thank you for making and sharing!
Absolutely love it. Stunning. You have a gift.
Love your voice! I have been falling asleep so fast that I have to relisten to your stories! And then I miss them again! 😊🌈
Ha that’s great Roxy. Maybe you’ll never finish one! 😊
This is a very enchanting scene of Ireland and the images, sound effects and history of your people are one of the very best sleep stories! I played it twice catch everything again! I wish I could have lived there in such an idyllic land! Thank you again from California ❤
Takes me back to my days living in South Kerry 💚 going to Dingle and seeing Fungi was always a thrill. We'll miss him 💔
You definitely found your gift! So grateful to have found you. My son and myself love your stories and voice. ❤ Bless you for blessing others! ❤
My brother and I both dream of being‘lighthouse keepers’! This is perfect!!😍
Seriously
I think I would love that too!
that's funny because it is said to be the job with the highest rate of insanity and "hurting" thoughts. Sorry if that brang down the vibe
Dear Stephen, lovely narration.... but wide awake at the mention of Dingle... Fungi the dolphin( devine) and the best soda bread and scrambled egg I've ever had! I loved my stay there, such lovely trusting, decent, and hardworking people ! If you want hospitality, great food and lots of beer....I highly recommend!
I'll try the rest a bit later...I've joined, many blessings to you and yours!
One of my favorites! ❤ any one with rain really luls me to sleep. I still wake up early in the am but i just replay my story and go back to sleep 😂 Thankyou stephen for all the hard work you put into these stories and caring for the peoples lives you touch! ❤
I literally can't sleep without one of your stories ❤
Well I've got to say my perfect guided meditation has always been to sleep in a lighthouse, stormy seas as the story, I've never found one until now, this is stunning, thankyou x
Hi John, Delighted that you've found me and the lighthouse story. Stephen :)
I'm going back to your older stories, since recently finding these. 🎉 found delicious rest this afternoon, much needed. The music is beautiful! The lapping of waves, delightful.
I count on your beautiful sleep stories every night, they are a great comfort and a true Godsend, your soothing voice and the imagery and sounds of birds , winds, water and music are a perfect blend for sleeping, plus the artwork for the story is beautiful! Love from rainy California.❤
This is one of my favourites because I love the breathing exercises at the beginning 😊
I've always wanted to live in a lighthouse and build a library into the tower itself. This story is both comforting and strangely unsettling with how eerily similar it is to my dream lighthouse home 😂
Awesome 😊
Maybe great introverts think alike? ; )
I listen to your stories every night and I’ve never heard a story lmao I fall asleep way before that every time! Thank you!
best sleep stories i’ve ever experienced by far. i listen every night switching between all the stories
Awesome :)
Beautifully relaxing.I stayed with this story from beginning til end. I'm retired so it's totally fine when I don't fall asleep , choosing to listen and dream while I'm awake. Thank you for this channel ❤️😊
That’s wonderful Marianita. I think it’s great that you just enjoy listening. 🙏🏻😊
Your voice immediately relaxes me. Your story takes me to the places you describe, although I’ve never been, its lovely in my minds eye. The waves 🌊 are divine. I am totalling relaxed. Thank you 🙏
You're very welcome Cindy. It's a great pleasure for me to know that I am able to help. Stephen :)
Love sleep stories
Me too! Stephen :)
Do
Thank you 🙏🏾 God Bless U❤
I love your stories, particularly your cafe and lighthouse stories. I recently came across the New York cafe story. It reminds me of back home. It was so relatable. ❤
High hopes for this helping me get to and stay asleep!!!
Hope it worked Kathleen!
And voila, Stephen! Got me through!!! It's really interesting how much clearer and more alert I am without sleep meds. Long drive to work and I'm much more alert.
Lovely relaxing soothing voice definitely helps with sleep
Only little prob just spoilt a little with pulsing sound in background
Loved this one.the beautiful sound of the waves.
Thanks so much. Really happy that you are enjoying Shirley! Stephen :)
I love your videos so much 😭❤️❤️❤️
Your videos calm me when i want to sleep but my stress doesnt allow me..
I'm really happy that my videos are having a positive impact on your life. Stephen :)
Thank you so much for helping me back to sleep after waking at 1:30 am and not being able to go back to sleep for over almost 2hours, that is until I found this beautiful story and soothing voice 💖😴
I'm happy I helped. Stephen :)
Thank you it is wonderful for a sleepless lady. Love your story.
Over 100 subs now Stephen. Good stuff! What lucky souls we are to be part of this blessed community. 🙏
Even 200 now - extremely grateful for that! ♥️ Sorry for the little break, but tonight I finally have a new story planned. I hope you'll enjoy 🙏🏻
I have recently discovered you and your wonderful sleep stories. I have for a year or so experienced difficulties in sleeping due to profound anxiety.. I have autoimmune disorders DM and now recently diagnosed with MS but luckily my mobility is not affected.. just heightened anxiety and depression
I firstly found the story of the lighthouse, which actually helped me to sleep Yay! So I continued to listen to other sleep stories. They really have and do help, I take great comfort in their effect (my Gaby is still the lighthouse.. listening to the story with your great accent adds to the comfort effect..
Thank you so very much 🌟 you are very talented bless you 🙏
Thank you Dee. I wish you well and I’m happy you found the channel 🙏🏻
Thank you for these wonderful sleep stories!!!! I listen to them every night now. 😍
Lovely to hear. Loads to come :)
Amalia here on Dad's phone. I'd never heard your channel before last night and I was curious about it when I saw it in suggestions. As soon as I started listening I thought "Ooh, an Irish version of Snooze With Sam.' I listened for a few minutes and before I knew it I'd fallen asleep. Wonderful. I'll be back for more and I'll sub!
Thank you so much Amalia, glad you enjoyed it! There’s more to come very soon ✨🙏🏻
@@Stephen_Dalton
Looking forward to it. 😉
I love your voice thankyou Stephen for peace and sleep ❤
I really love listening to your sleep stories and I don't know how I fall asleep without them..most of the time I have a hard time falling asleep..I have bad anxiety and worry alot in bed but when I listen to your sleep stories I feel so safe in my mind and I really need that..thank you so much
Of all your videos thus far this one has been my go to one. They all help me sleep at night but this one I fall asleep to the quickest. I use it most on days when I need to adjust my sleep schedule, my schedule has been all out of sorts lately some days I go in as early as 0500 and others I go in as late as 1300 but this video helps me transition between the two with ease
Thank you so much. I'm sleeping so well
I really love this sleep story 👍💜. Works wonders✨
Thought id listen to this an omg brilliant thank you
Thanks Amanda, delighted you like! Stephen :)
Stephen loving your stories so much❤ You are marvellous, with your wonderful soothing voice.Thank you and best wishes from Scotlandx

I just discovered your Channel about a week ago. I have yet to make it to the end of any of the stories awake!
The quiet music and dark screens following each story followed by stories I've only heard while asleep,the have brought me wonderful dreams❤ and I'm so glad to have made the discovery🎉 thank you for everything you're doing it's just wonderful🙏😇❣️🌱🌠🌠🌟😴😴💚💚💙💙🥰🥰🏡
Hi..I've just found you're channel and listened to this one, well I did keep nodding off😅..I suffer with bad insomnia so I want to thankyou for taking the time to record these stories..I'll check more of them❤
My pleasure 🙏🏻
I like the organ music.
Thanks Kris! Stephen :)
Hi from West clare! I loved the mix of realism and fantasy in this story. The next time I look out at loop head lighthouse I'll be imagining that library and feeling very relaxed. Thank you ❤
Hello West Clare! Beautiful part of the world 🙏🏻
Do you have versions of your stories with no music? You have a soothing voice, and pick good stories that are long but too long...but I can't do the music and sounds....it's like a noise overload for me. I looked in your descriptions and in your Playlist and I didn't see any without the sound effects and music ( please don't misunderstand me...I enjoy the sound effects and music when I'm listening without intending on sleeping...like when I am crafting...but when I try to sleep, it's a sensory overload). I don't know if you can make two versions of the same thing or not...but if you could....that would be incredible....with a blackout screen too....I know...wishful thinking...lol 😊
Hey, thanks for the feedback! I completely understand. Everyone has their own unique preferences. Most people love having music, but I get why you prefer to not have it. There will be a story in the coming days that has sound design only - The African Safari story. Also, I will sporadically continue to upload stories with no music. I hope that helps and thanks again! Stephen :)
@@Stephen_Dalton well...I enjoy listening to your stories...btw...typo on my part up above...I said you do stories that are long but too long...I meant but aren't too long...lol...I don't need a 12 hour story 😁...I will definitely keep checking back...and if I find some of your stories with no music...I'll definitely listen to them....do you have any stories at the moment with no music? Are they in a play list?
On Monday will be the first - but then they will come regularly and yes there should be a playlist eventually :)
@@Stephen_Dalton oh wow....thank you!!! I can't wait 😁😁😁😁
Such a lovely soothing voice xx
Thanks Joanne 🙏🏻
Loved this, the sounds soon had me floating off to sleep x thank you
Tried it last night. Never even made it to the story . Will try again tonight. Hopefully i will be awake long enough to at least hear the beginning 😁
Been listning every night for about 2 months now. Thank you for helping he go to sleep faster.
Brilliant, as always, Stephen. Thank you xxx
have you considered podcast app too? 🤔 i think people there would love it too!
I just discovered your channel - and I'm totally flashed by your voice - so warm and friendly.... you could read the telephone book and I would enjoy it 💜
Haha thanks so much, maybe I'll do a telephone book sleep story :) Delighted you are enjoying! Stephen :)
There was a short story I used to teach in my English class called The Last Unicorn. There are several versions but the one I liked was based on the biblical story of Noah's Ark. I don't know if that subject matter would appeal to you, but my students, senior high school age, always seemed to enjoy it. Whatever you choose for your stories, I always enjoy your work.
Thank you
You're welcome
Thank you Micheal
Hi Steven just subscribed thank you so needed and appreciated ❤
Perfect, thank you
You're welcome!
Love all of your sleep stories !! You should definitely consider doing guided sleep mediations as well!!
Delightful! Thank you so much!!
I loved this one. Thank you!
