 THE PERFECT NIGHTTIME LISTEN - DESIGNED TO CALM YOUR MIND FOR A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP

Introduced by Lucy Mangan

Put down your smartphone and unwind, with this nighttime collection of calming stories and poems. These beloved short tales, extracts and poems will calm and restore an anxious mind ready for sleep.

Sleep is essential for our wellbeing and our health, but in our busy lives it is often poor and overlooked. Now is the time to stop a while and find consolation and wonder in other worlds where all is well and sleep just a few minutes of listening away.

From classic stories by Oscar Wilde, Guy de Maupassant and Katherine Mansfield, to friendly tales of our childhoods and poetry that reminds us of the simple joys of life, this lovingly curated collection will soothe a tired mind and gently carry you to the peaceful land of sleep.

So switch off, snuggle down and allow yourself to escape into new worlds and old; magical, mysterious and tender realms that will accompany you to your own sweet dreams.

The lively way these stories are read is not suitable for bedtime stories. Sure to keep you awake 😂

Style of narration not suited for sleep

I really enjoy the range of stories included; there are exerts from some of my favourite books. Beautifully and soothingly narrated to really calm the mind. It is just what I was looking for. Only issue is I'm personally not a great poetry lover and find these short bursts a little boring. However, they're often less than a minute so I can't complain too much.

Performs purpose perfectly

The stories are of various lengths and some are a bit too ‘lively’ for bedtime.
I don’t understand why these are stories for stressed out adults because the content does not reflect that at all

Not what I was expecting

Stories are lovely and the narrators are talented but every story goes from so quiet you can't hear it, to so loud it jolts you awake. Found myself constantly changing the volume and losing concentration on both the stories and trying to relax.

Sound mix terrible
