Good evening. Welcome to the Just Sleep podcast. I'm Tasia, your host.

Every week, I will read you an old story to help you relax of the stressful day behind you and drift off to sleep.

Occasionally, we will run ads in order to cover the costs of the production of the podcast.

Rest assured, there will be no ads during or after the story.

If you prefer an ad-free and intro-free show, you can join Just Sleep Premium.

It's the holiday season.

And if you're looking for a gift for a loved one,

especially if they love to read,

might I suggest the Just Sleep book?

It's a collection of some of the popular stories that have read on the podcast, as well as a few that I haven't read yet.

You can buy it on Amazon or Barnes & Noble, John Lewis, here in the UK, and there's a link on our website at justsleeppodcast.com

slash book.

And if they have trouble sleeping, you can buy a gift subscription of Just Sleep Premium.

And you can find that at just sleeppodcast.com slash support.
