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.

Hello, I'm Cheryl, and this is Sleeptight Relax, a calming bedtime podcast for the young and young at heart.

Our sleep story is about Johnny Chuck and how he can sleep all winter long.

Peter Rabbit has noticed that Johnny Chuck has gotten quite a bit rounder recently,

and he always seems to be eating.

This bothers Peter so much that he cannot eat.

He decides to ask Johnny why he is doing this.

And Johnny tells him it is so he can go underground and sleep all winter.

Sleep all winter?

Peter doesn't understand what Johnny could be talking about.

So he goes in search of Grandfather Frog to ask all about it.

Now, are you cozy?

Are you in your comfortable place?

Your place to relax or your favorite position in bed?

You can take a moment to position your pillows, a teddy, or your other little comforts to make sure that everything feels as it should.

Are you ready now to take a few deep belly breaths?
