Hello, friends. Have you checked out our new channel on Apple Podcasts? Over the past few years,

Clark and I have worked hard to bring you stories and science content that entertains and

educates while helping your little ones relax and drift off to sleep.

On our new channel, you'll find ad-free episodes, bonus stories, and for the first time,

classic tales, presented just as they were meant to be heard, one chapter at a time.

It's a wonderful way to experience these timeless stories together, helping to make bedtime

a cozy, shared adventure. Look for Sleeptight Media on Apple Podcasts, and let's make bedtime the best part of the day.

Hi there, and welcome to sleep tight tight, relax, sounds, music, and stories for calming, busy minds.

In this episode, we are going to focus specifically on a deep breathing exercise, which you can use before before bed or if you work or study at home perhaps to help you prepare for an afternoon nap. Before we begin, let's make sure

you have a suitable environment for comfort.

Begin by lying on your back with your hands on your thighs or at your sides.

You can change positions any time you need in order to be more comfortable.
