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

You are listening to the relaxing sounds of ocean waves, soundscape for sleep.

As you listen to the soothing sounds of the ocean waves,

take a deep belly breath in and exhale slowly.

Take another slow, deep breath, as big a breath as you can and as slowly as you can.

Then slowly let the air out through your mouth.

Imagine yourself standing on a warm sandy beach,

feeling the soft sand between your toes and the warm sun on your face. As you breathe in, feel the calmness and peace of the ocean enter your body.

And as you exhale, let go of any worries or stress that you may be carrying.

Take a deep breath in and let the air slowly flow out.

Listen to the sound of the waves as they come in and go out.

With each passing wave, imagine any negative thoughts or feelings being washed away.

Stay here for a few moments. being washed away.

Stay here for a few moments, allowing the sounds of the ocean

to fill you with a sense of calm and serenity.
