    Drift Off is the best! Not only are the relaxation techniques great, but the stories and the reader’s voice is very pleasant. Thank you for helping me get better sleep!

    Soothing and calm
    Joanne’s voice is what everyone needs to hear at the end of a long day. It’s calming, soothing and will lull you to sleep every time. Can’t survive (or sleep!) without her bedtime storytelling. ⭐️🥱

    Best Bedtime Stories
    I almost never subscribe but after listening to Little House on the Prairie a half dozen times, I decided to give it a try. I find the stories interesting but also relaxing enough to fall asleep afterwards or even before the chapter ends. I wanted to subscribe since Joann’s appeal moved me but also because I couldn’t stand all that intro/commercial every time I listened to a new story! Great marketing, Joann! :)

    Sleepytime for Norman
    I have a two year old dachshund who’s wound pretty tight, and has a hard time settling down for bed. Lucky for me, I found a magic elixir for bedtime….Drift Off! Puts him in a relaxed state, and by the time the story is over, he’s sleeping peacefully. We both enjoy the soothing stories. Highly, highly recommend!

    Great Podcast!
    This podcast is my go-to sleep podcast, I’ve literally fallen asleep without even hearing 5 mins of an episode so many times lol, but all in all an amazing podcast! 😴📖

  • E Pat123
    Thank you Joanne and Drift Off!
    Joanne’s voice is magical! I rarely hear the end of any story I choose. I am particularly grateful since I started using a CPAP for sleep apnea. The mask and tube have totally disrupted my way of falling asleep. Joanne’s soothing voice helps me settle down and relax so I can fall asleep. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️!

    The best sleepy time stories

  • Buhnanie
    Love it thank you Joanne!
    I just found your podcast. You had me at Little House on the Prairie! And you have such a nice, soothing voice, perfect for this application—gentle storytelling, to send us off to sleep.

    Best Sleep Podcast There Is!
    This is the only sleep podcast I’ll listen to. Great voice, great story selection, and works like a charm! Thank you Joanne!!

    Can I have a shoutout?
    I started listening almost a year ago, and when I say I can sleep, it’s an understatement. Jo-Anne does an amazing job with her calming voice and amazing taste in stories. She really is an amazing storyteller. And the way you start off with a nice way to get comfy, I can already feel a great night coming. 10/10, of you have problem falling asleep like I do, I’d definitely recommend trying this podcast. Sincerely, Amanda (ignore the username. I made it back in like, 2018)

    Insomnia cure
    I’ve been suffering from insomnia since I was a little kid and found Joanne a few months ago. Her story choices and voice are both very soothing and she goes above and beyond by also incorporating sleep hypnosis in some of her episodes. I usually end up conking out within seconds of a story starting. The addition of fire crackles on the Little House episode was significantly less soothing than most episodes. But I love that she chose that book from my childhood, after introducing me to many stories from cultures outside of my own.

    Incase of a bad day! 💐
    Hello. I hope your doing well 🩷 If not, that’s alright too. Everyone has bad days! ✨It’s totally okay to be a rain cloud! 🌧️ Not everyday has to be sunny ☀️ if your feeling a bit down, here’s a couple things I like to do when I feel that way! 😊 1: Take a nap! It can take your mind off things, and relax you. 🩵 2: Plop some headphones on, and listen to some beats! Maybe something calming, or death metal to rock out too and get all your energy out! 🌈 3: Do a meditation exercise. I recommend YouTube, it’s free! Just type in ‘Calming Meditations’ and pick one that looks fun to you! 🧘🏽‍♀️ 4: Take a shower, if your crying the shower cries with you. It’s relaxing, and maybe even plop down a shower fizzy if you have them. 💦 5: Do some coloring! Grab a coloring book, or print a page out! (If you can’t do either, you can make one yourself!) pick out some pretty colors that suit your vibe, and color away. (If you make them yourself, maybe use a YouTube tutorial!) 💐 6: Read a book! Pick a nice book, and snuggle down in a blanket. It’s a super relaxing way to get your mind off things. ⭐️ 7: Journaling! If you have any spare notebooks, or even just paper, you can easily write down your thoughts. Grab a pen, and write down your own thoughts with your words. 🌺 8: Make something sweet! Maybe brownies, cookies, a cake, or cupcakes! Use a cooking book or find recipes online! 🧁 9: Fidget! Grab a pop-it or maybe some slime and mess with it, it’s fun and cool. 💜 10: Last but not least, grab a cup of hot cocoa, tea, coffee, or whatever you please and enjoy it on the couch. 🐚 I hope this helps, if you ever feel incredibly awful, remember that your family, friends and pets care for you! If you have one of those days, PLEASE! Call 911, it’s not worth it! It doesn’t solve the pain, only passes it to the next person. 🧸 I truly hope you have an amazing day, peace out! ✌🏻

    Why
    Why do people need to pay to listen to this podcast like we should not have to pay to listen 😡 and it doesn’t help sleep better sorry
  • hdupdycll be duriho
    So relaxing!
    Thank you Jo Anne. She selects stories that I love, and has such a calming voice and presence. Helps me relax and drift off.
  • Gretz126
    Good sleep
    It’s so good for sleep 😴
  • KxMxOx
    So easy to drift off
    I’ve tried A LOT of different relaxation/sleep podcasts in the last couple of years and this is the only one I still listen to. Host Joanne has a lovely voice and picks interesting and varied stories. Bonus: My two-year-old grandson is out like a light after just a few minutes of listening.
  • tayurban
    Favorite sleep pod BY FAR!!
    I love this podcast SO MUCH the narrator has a perfectly calming voice without being fake and annoying. I LOVE the classic and vintage stories she tells.

    The best for helping relax and get to sleep
    As someone who has a hard time ‘turning my brain off’ at bedtime I’ve listened to lots of different sleep and meditation shows. This one is the best by far. A relaxing natural voice, that doesn’t sound like someone trying to talk softly. Thank you
  • mitorr234
    Great!!
    This podcast is perfect!!
  • DiamondJ79
    Better than any lullaby
    I have been listening off and on for the last several months whenever I have a problem falling asleep. Within minutes Joannne’s voice has me settled and comfortable for whatever amount of sleep I’m about to get. The relaxation exercise before the story is super helpful. I’ve tried other sleep podcasts but keep coming back to this one.

    Wasn’t sure
    I always have had a difficult time falling asleep. But, after becoming excited about about all of the different podcast topics, I decided to find on to help my falling to sleep. I wasn’t sure if I’d find one that works. Most were relaxing and , and just as I was nodding off, an advertisement would blare me awake! Then, I found Drift Off 😊. I steeled myself against the first blaring advertisement, but , the next thing I knew I was stretching and yawning myself awake! I’m so thrilled To know that no matter how busy my mind is when I crawl into bed, I will always fall to sleep gently and swiftly…and stay asleep! Thank you, Joann! My favorite story is The Velveteen Rabbit 🐇 My favorite series is the Little House stories 😊 I. Think it would be delightful to hear The Narnia Chronicles . My favorite is: The Horse and his Boy.

    Soothing voice
    It takes me about 3 minutes to fall asleep. Joanne’s voice and the music and stories are perfect.
  • Susan 05
    Good podcast but some strange sound effects
    I love Joanne’s voice. It is really relaxing. I also love the Maida books series that she did. The Little House in the Big Woods series and some of the Little House on the Prarie so far have popping and crackling noises in the background that sound almost like static. They are not relaxing at all and kind of ruin the stories as something to go to sleep too. I hope the rest of the Little House series won’t have that.

    thank you
    i’m so glad you keep this ad free! Your voice is so soothing, and easy to fall asleep to😴

    Good night’s Sleep
    I look forward to falling asleep with the soothing voice of Joanne and relaxing music. Maida’s Little Shop was a wonderful story. Also enjoyed a poem about the protection of a worm, turned into a butterfly. It would be nice to have some more poetry.

    Beautiful calm relaxing voice telling sweet bedtime stories for adults or children. It’s a magical gift. Thank you
  • hbrew925
    This podcast has been a lifesaver!
    I never used to have trouble sleeping but about 18 months ago it became almost painful to fall asleep given life’s stressors. Listening to Joanne read stories has become a lifeline when I need a little help. I tell all of my friends and family about Drift Off because of how much it’s helped me when I really needed to sleep.
  • someone 1*2
    So soothing
    Joanne’s voice is so calming. Maida’s story has been my favorite.
  • Obsessed 😴
    I love this podcast!
    With this podcast my stress floats away, and she does an amazing job of making me feel comfortable and calm.
  • Love is the answer...
    I slow the playback speed down
    Gives me an even drowsier effect. My favorites are the books, so many chapters I can barely recall because this podcast does the job 😉
  • jan2bet

  • Friend of Domino's
    Drift Off is great!
    We can’t wait for the next episodes each week. The simple stories with Joanne’s voice are the perfect combination to drift off to sleep. Love the Maida’s Little Shop and the Little House in the Big Woods stories the best…more, please! The background “music” is the best, too. Thank you 💤
  • Debra Lynae
