Sleep Stories
Stories that carry you to sleep.
Slow, gentle narration written for grown-up minds that won't switch off — low stakes, no cliffhangers, and a sleep timer that fades the ending away after you've drifted off.

What makes a sleep story work
Low stakes
Nothing explodes and nothing twists. The pleasant middle is the whole point, so missing the ending costs you nothing.
Slow pacing
Long descriptions and unhurried scenes give a racing mind something soft to follow — and quietly crowd out the worry loops.
A gentle voice
Warm, even narration without dramatic peaks. Listening to an unhurried voice is one of the gentlest ways to slow your own night down.
How to listen tonight
- Lights out, phone face down, story started.
- Volume just audible — you should be able to follow the words without effort, and no louder.
- Set the sleep timer for twenty to thirty minutes. The narration fades out slowly, so the silence never wakes you.
