Hey, it's me, Carissa, and I have something new for you this evening, and I'm looking forward to sharing it with you.

It's a new style of episode that we're calling sleep echoes in which a story is repeated to help you fall asleep easily.

They're designed to be memorable so you can revisit the story if you wake up in the night.

These stories are written by Diane Gillespie, an educational psychologist and creative writer who faced vexing sleep problems herself.

She overcame late-night sleep disruptions

through creating stories that she uses in the middle of the night to lull her back to sleep.

And now, I'm thrilled to be sharing them with you. If you love this show, start a free trial of

content possible. This episode is sponsored by Indeed. When we needed to hire an assistant to

support our sound designer, we felt completely overwhelmed. Navigating countless job boards and

struggling to attract the right attention for the post was so frustrating we almost gave up.

But thankfully, I discovered Indeed.

applications for our role, we were able to find the perfect person

to join the Sleepwave team.
