Summary

"A Mad Tea Party" — Alice in Wonderland (Chapter 7) | Books at BedtimeDrift off to a deep, peaceful sleep with Chapter 7 of Lewis Carroll’s timeless classic, Alice in Wonderland. In tonight’s episode of Books at Bedtime, we journey into "A Mad Tea Party". Let the nonsensical, rhythmic banter of the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, and the sleepy Dormouse lull your busy mind into a state of calm relaxation. If you are struggling with insomnia, late-night anxiety, or a restless mind, this soft-spoken, comforting narration is designed specifically to help you disconnect from the day and transition smoothly into a night of deep, restorative rest.🌙 What You’ll Experience TonightTonight, we follow Alice as she stumbles upon a chaotic yet oddly soothing tea party under the trees. Listen close as the characters trade impossible riddles, argue over the mechanics of a watch that only tells the day of the month, and share whimsical tales of three little sisters living at the bottom of a treacle well. The repetitive, dreamlike logic of Wonderland acts as the perfect distraction for an overactive brain. As the Dormouse drifts in and out of sleep, you will find yourself naturally matching its heavy-lidded pace, allowing yourself to finally let go and fall asleep. ✨ Key Time Stamps
