If you love stories and you're looking for a new way to relax and fall asleep at night,

I have just what you're looking for.

It's another wonderful podcast called The Sleepy Bookshelf.

Elizabeth, the host, reads classic novels like Pride and Prejudice,

Alice in Wonderland, The Secret Garden,

and 20,000 leagues under the sea. She is a really special way of bringing these stories to life,

but doing so in a way that's extremely calming. So search for the Sleepy Bookshelf, wherever you

listen to your podcasts, or go to sleepybookshelf.com.

Check it out now and see why millions of people use the sleepy bookshelf to get a good night's rest. Breathe deep into the quiet

and settle safely within.

Let the walls of your stillness protect you

from the nightmares that are creeping in.

Let peace fill you up as you melt into this space.

As you melt into this space, as you watch the nightmares pass by, at an easy, steady pace. I know they seem scary, these visions that swirl around.

But rest assured, they're not real.

Let them crumble to the ground. Then come inside again and then come inside again as your breath slows you down.

Let your mind clear and your ears hear the sound. Let it go. Let it be.

As you drift gently through the night. Let it go.

You are free
