Hello, everyone. I hope you are well.
I have started a new channel called Midnight Monk, where I will be continuing to share Buddhist teachings and zen stories for rest and sleep.
The new channel is here: youtube.com/@midnightmonktv
Everything on Sleepy Monk will stay up for as long as YouTube allows. Nothing is going away. But for now, new content will live on Midnight Monk.
I've shared the first videos, if you would like to come and settle in.
Thank you for being part of this journey. 🙏🌛🧘

Hello, everyone. It's been a month since pausing the channel. Reading your messages and continued support means a lot.
I've been reflecting on how to keep sharing these teachings in a way that is sustainable long-term.
It's possible I will start a new channel, while keeping the existing videos on this channel available forever.
For now, I will try to share videos that are slightly shorter.
Thank you for listening 🙏

Hello, everyone. Unfortunately, as YouTube demonetized the channel, it is difficult to keep investing time and money into making these videos. So for now, the channel will be put on pause. Thank you to those who contributed on sleepymonk.org, and to all listeners. I hope to continue our journey together again in the future. Stay well 🙏

Update: Unfortunately, the Sleepy Monk channel was recently demonetized, which means I cannot control when ads are run. I always turned off ads during the video for a restful experience, but now YouTube can run as many ads as they want throughout the video.
There's nothing I can do, so sorry if it disrupts your sleep.
Thanks for being part of the community 🙏
P.S This happened because YouTube felt the videos were too repetitive and similar that viewers would have a frustrating experience.
