I’ve struggled with falling asleep for years—my mind just won’t shut off. I gave this a shot out of desperation, and honestly, it surprised me. The stories are calm, soothing, and just the right kind of dreamy without being cheesy. I’ve fallen asleep halfway through most nights (which never happens for me). The mix of affirmations and soft narration really helps slow my brain down. It’s now part of my nightly routine. Definitely worth a try if you’re wired at night.

The combination of calming meditations and affirmations helps me stay present, relax my body, and quiet my mind. The stories are gentle, creating the perfect environment for unwinding.

I've had bad insomnia for years, and with my work becoming more stressful the last few weeks I've had an even harder time getting to sleep. When I try to watch tv or actually read a book to help I just end up staying up even later. I tried out this audiobook and I'm so glad I did. Not only is listening to this audiobook soothing, but it takes you back to a time when you were a little kid being read to at night, and seems to get my body all ready for sleep. It's been a few nights in a row now and I am so much more rested than I had been. For people who have tried other tactics and failed to get to sleep, this should be something you try.

I started listening to this audiobook before bed, hoping to quiet my busy thoughts, and it worked surprisingly well. The narrator's voice is gentle and calming, making it easy to unwind. The stories themselves are simple yet comforting, focusing on peaceful settings and soft imagery that help you drift off. One story about a quiet lakeside evening really stuck with me, and I found myself imagining the scene long after. It’s not just for falling asleep, though—it’s also great for those moments when you just need to decompress. I’d give it 5 stars for being both soothing and beautifully narrated and I find the background music to be a pleasant addition. This is one I will come back to again and again.

These stories are beautiful, relaxing poetry that will carry you into the realms of sleep. The short length of each story is just right to leave maximum impact without requiring extensive listening. There is a morale to them as well that will make people of any age smile, or appeal to your inner child, for that matter. What a lovely, useful approach.
