Episode 783. This week's story, sleep hygiene by Gemma Files.

Hi everyone, welcome to Sudapod the Weekly Horror Podcast. I'm Alistair, your host,

and this week's story comes to us from Gemma Files. It was first published in Nightmare's Realm,

new tales of the Wade and Fantastic, and we printed this year in the collection in that

Endlessness hour end. Audio production and dream bed for sleep hygiene

assembled from various field recordings by Sean M. Garrett and dedicated to Deon McGregor. Look

up folks, he's hilarious, Brian Geisen, and current 93. Your narration is by the fantastic

Tatiana Gray, Annalyster, your host, and we all have a story for you, and we promise you

it's true.

Sleep hygiene by Gemma Files. Narrated by Tatiana Gray.

Shut your eyes. Let your breathing slow. Then follow the map from any direction,

and you will find you are there now in that place, your place.

Look to the horizon. Something is coming. A short list of things you may do when it comes.

Cry, scream, flinch, shut your eyes again. Find yourself unable to shut your eyes.

Find yourself short of breath, or unable to breathe entirely. Hear your own heart in your ears.

Hear absolutely nothing. See absolutely nothing. Feel your face go blank.

Feel your mind go blank. Watch everything cloud over. Then go black.

Find yourself elsewhere, discovering you've lost time. Think, I must have fainted.

Have no proof this is true. Have no proof otherwise. Wake up.
