Shayla Shark just doesn’t feel sleepy! Can her friends Sean and Santiago help?<\/p>\n
Narrator: <\/strong>Male<\/p>\n Story Begins: <\/strong>3:47<\/p>\n Sleepy Sharks <\/strong><\/em>Excerpt:<\/p>\n Shayla Shark felt the cool water glide past her fins as she swam in a circle around her favorite coral arch. At this hour, Shayla usually felt sleepy and ready for a good rest. After a full day of swimming, exploring, and playing on the reef, her body was usually happy to settle down.<\/p>\n But tonight, Shayla did not feel sleepy at all. In fact, she felt wide awake. Each time she tried to close her eyes, they popped right back open again. And so here she was, swimming in circles, wondering why her body did not feel ready for rest.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n As a listener-supported podcast, we truly appreciate our members on Patreon<\/a>.
