Hello, friends. Have you checked out our new channel on Apple Podcasts? Over the past few years,

Clark and I have worked hard to bring you stories and science content that entertains and

educates while helping your little ones relax and drift off to sleep.

On our new channel, you'll find ad-free episodes, bonus stories, and for the first time,

classic tales, presented just as they were meant to be heard, one chapter at a time.

It's a wonderful way to experience these timeless stories together, helping to make bedtime

a cozy, shared adventure. Look for Sleeptight Media on Apple Podcasts, and let's make bedtime the best part of the day. A short message for grownups.

If you get value from listening to the sound and music episodes,

please consider subscribing to Sleep Tight Premium.

With Sleeptight Premium, you get much longer sounds and music for sleep, uninterrupted,

and free from advertising.

You also receive other subscriber-only content, including bonus episodes, guided meditations, and four sleep stories a week.

Please visit sleeptightpremium.com to subscribe or follow the link in our show notes.

Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep, tight, relax, sounds, music, and stories for calming, busy minds.

I am Cheryl, and I read and edit all the stories.

Production and sound design is by my husband Clark.

We hope that our simple mix of relaxation techniques, sounds, and stories provide a soft landing

from you and your family's day.

Before we continue with our music, let's make sure you are cozy and comfortable.

Turn off the lights, silence notifications, find your comfortable place, your place to relax, or your favorite position in bed.

Position your pillows, a teddy, or your other little comforts to make sure that everything

feels as it should.
