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.

Praise for Bedtime Stories:
'Draws us away from the cold blue light of the smart phone and into the soothing glow of poems, short stories and extracts' THE SIMPLE THINGS
'The most beautiful book that will, without a doubt, put you in the mood for some ZZZZs.' THE SUN©2018 Various

not for stressed out adults

it sucks to listen to something that doesnt actually help me distress. im stressed

Skip the Intro

This is a good collection of classic stories but the introduction is terrible. It has the opportunity to be good as it starts off talking about how peacefully children sleep but then it talks about all the reasons you can't sleep, which only serves to remind you of why you can't sleep. Skip it and head to the stories themselves and you'll be out before you can say Wikem, Blinkem and Nod.

False advertising. Don't rely on it to relax.

Not recommended for insomniacs. Fell asleep happily and peacefully in Chapter 4 about the time the trolls were defeated, slipped neatly into deep dream heaven for Goethe, and shot to instant, alarmed wakefulness at the growling, shouting giant's gruff outburst. Nearly jumped out of my skin. Not funny.

Helps me to unwind.

Need to have more stories. Would love to have another book or suggestion of the same type I could download.

Not fit for purpose

Woke me up at around 3:19:10 when the narrator (doing a chap called carpo) started shouting which woke me up. Middle of my sleep, heart racing, ultimate stress!
