Welcome to send me to sleep, the place to find relaxing stories for a good night's rest.

My name's Andrew.

Thanks for joining me.

Tonight I'll be reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin, chapters 5 to 7.

In the last chapters, the wealthy Charles Bingley rents nearby Netherfield Park, causing much excitement in the Bennet household, with five unmarried daughters.

Mrs Bennet is eager for one of her daughters to marry Bingley, and they pursue his attention at a local

ball that he attends with his friend Mr Darcy. Bingley is captivated by the eldest Bennett daughter, Jane.

However, Darcy offends Elizabeth Bennett by dismissing her as not attractive enough to dance with, leading

to a mutual dislike, and Darcy's arrogance earns him the disdain of the community.

Now we've caught up with the story so far.

Let's get ourselves ready for sleep.

Start. get ourselves ready for sleep. Start by taking a deep, relaxing breath.

And settle your body in whatever way feels most comfortable.

Now let any thoughts of the day drift away from your mind
