On the plus side of the equation were Nelson Olmsted's extremely loyal following throughout the U.S. Sleep No More arrived during the waning years of the Golden Age of Radio-understandably risky Radio programming for the mid-1950s. Sleep No More was Nelson's Olmsted's contribution to The Golden Age of Radio's rich tradition of broadcasting compelling and stirring supernatural and suspense dramas, predominantly from the finest supernatural literature throughout modern history. (He had plenty of practice perfecting the talent during his live performance years of Black Night.) Although the stories were not original ones written specifically for radio as they had been in the Black Chapel and the Black Castle series, Sleep No More is still a fine example of reader's theater and pre-published short stories at their best. (About 1/3rd into the performance, when the main character has just been left alone in the wax museum, you can hear the false start of a sentence recorded over when Olmsted says 'The eye- The eyes of doctor Bordet's effigy haunted and tormented him.') Yet even with the advantages that such technology afforded, Olmsted's ability to change voices between distinct characters is impressive. Not only was magnetic tape use becoming commonplace in the 1950s, but one can detect a slight edit at the beginning of one of the sentences during the performance of 'Waxworks'. Some (if not all) of the readings were pre-recorded. Music and sound effects were added in the background. Olmsted would read classic short stories and perform all the different voices of the characters. Sleep No More began as a fifteen minute series, but in November of 1956, it expanded to 30 minutes (OTR Cat.com).

Sleep No More was the second radio horror series of spoken word tales recited by Nelson Olmsted. The show was unique as the stories were read by Omstead instead of acted out. Sleep No More ran from 1952 to 1956 and featured Nelson Omstead as the narrator of these stories filled with thrills, chills and spooky background music.
