This is Ria. Welcome to Little Stories for Tiny People. Friends, before I go to sleep,

I change into my pajamas. I brush and floss my teeth, and I turn out my light. It's simple

and it works. But when I was a tiny person, I often had a really hard time going to sleep.

It was very difficult to get my brain to just slow down and be quiet. I would lie awake in bed,

just thinking and thinking and thinking and thinking and thinking and thinking. Anyway,

since our story is about sleep, I invited my dear friend, Remy, to join me for the story.

Okay, guys, give a little wave hello to Remy. Let's make him feel welcome. Remy, you sleep during

the day. Guys, Remy's raccoon. I mentioned that, right? So we are actually recording this at night,

so you could be awake for it. Which means I am very sleepy. But I will try John for all of you.

Remy, I invited you today because I've heard you have a very specific sleep routine. I was wondering

if you could tell us about it. Oh, Remy just thrust a paper at me. It's a list of all the things

Remy does before bed. Brush teeth, comb fur, okay. But you do this every night. It says,

climatery three times in a row. Okay, I mean, I guess that's good exercise. Hold on, this one says

rear-rained spice shelf. Why do you have to do this every night? He just whispered that it

calms him down. Okay, well, to each his own. Very interesting. And this one is also puzzling.

Dust all the clocks. And how many clocks do you have? What? Guys, he has 37 clocks. That is so many

clocks. And why do they get so dusty? I have so many questions. He's just shrugging.

Well, Remy, thank you for sharing your bedtime routine. This has been illuminating. One thing

we can agree on is bedtime is the best. Sleep is kind of magical if you think about it.

Personally, I love to sleep. And if I don't get enough of it, I am very grumpy and

totally incapable of writing stories for you. So this podcast is brought to you by Sleep.

Thanks, Sleep. Wow, I got really derailed for a second there. Hey, speaking of a train,
