Bedtime Story


Tonight on 20/20 I saw a story about a Hotel in London where an adult can call room service and order a bedtime story. An actual guy will come to your room, dressed in pajamas and read from a selection of books for one hour.

It sounds a little weird to me and I think it would be a little awkward having a stranger sitting by your bedside reading to you while you try to fall asleep but the more I think about it, it is really not a bad idea.

a lot of people are busy, depressed and burned out. They are lonely and miss their childhood, they don't take the time to reflect on happy times because their cell phone is ringing or they have to answer an email or watch the news. They take prescription sleep aids just to get their busy minds to relax. A good bedtime story might just be what we all need.

It could be a refreshing distraction from the troubles of the day. It worked for us when we were little why not now?
