They started leaving me messages, saying the recordings were helping to relieve their insomnia. I’ve even had people watching my videos from inside the Vatican.

Lawson has stretched his videos to eight hours (to soothe people who woke up often during the night) and begun filming in other tranquil locations in Ireland.
