Hello, I'm Cheryl, and welcome to Sleep Tight Relax, a cozy bedtime podcast made especially for kids,

but perfect for dreamers of all ages.

Let's start tonight with getting comfortable.

If it's cold where you are, you might have your favorite cozy pajamas to wear.

Or maybe a warm shirt.

When I was growing up, I always like to sleep in super warm flannel pajamas because our house was really cold. You can try doing some stretches. Any kind of stretches to wiggle out all the silliness you might have.

You can try reaching for the sky as high as you can.

Just watch out that someone doesn't tickle your belly.

You could try a super hard one like touching your toes.

If you can't quite reach your toes, that's okay.

You can wiggle your arms and wiggle your legs.

You can even wiggle your toes.

When you are finished, find a comfortable position in your bed.

If you are cold, wrap yourself up with your blanket and pretend it's giving you a great big hug.

Let the quietness surround you.

If there's noise, say hello and let it fade into the background.

Thinking positively as you prepare to drift off to sleep can help create dreams that are joyful and deep.

So let's first whisper some affirmations, or if you like, you can just repeat them in your mind I am a radiant star

shining light so bright filling my dreams with joy all through the night

like a cloud I am dreams with joy all through the night.

Like a cloud, I am fluffy, light and free.

Floating gently where dreams are as sweet as can be.
