It’s the final episode of the first season of Twin Peaks, maybe you’ll be asleep by the cliff hanger ending, maybe not, but I’ll help you get a good night’s rest.

*Two apologies to start with. The episode is going up pretty late because I had a bit of a torrid week trying to outline tonights story, and the sound quality is a bit off because I was very SMRT and forgot to turn off the fishtank filter before improvising the whole episode*   Buddy has been visiting the gnomes for some time now, and he is curious about the lives of the goblins that the gnomes tell him about, and that he caught a glance of once before.   Story: 22:30   Help yourself to create a pleasant sleep environment with a sleep mask or other sleep aids from Amazon.

*After I’d finished recording the audio for this episode news came out about the passing of Peggy Lipton, the actress who played Norma, the diner owner.   Even if one has never seen Twin Peaks you will recognise her from one of her many roles in television over the decades.*   So who killed Laura Palmer, as revealed in Dale Cooper’s dream? Oh, he forgot. Oops.   But Laura makes it to her funeral on time, despite the FBI forensic expert’s attempts.   Story: 16:40   Obviously there will be spoilers for the show, and while Twin Peaks does have some disturbing content, the intention of Sleepy Time Tales is to help you sleep, so I'll avoid those bits as much as possible.

Tonight’s episode returns to the well of mythology. This time, a Norse tale about the Trials of Thor, a set of challenges presented to the mighty god by Utgarda-Loki, a king among the Giants of Jotunheim.   Story: 16:40   One of the websites I used for my research belongs to author Daniel McCoy, this is his book om Amazon. Judging by his website it should be very well researched and written, so give him some support if you’re inclined. Amazon Link   While there are many classic tales of Norse Mythology, Neil Gaiman recently released his interpretation of the stories.
