Sleep tight, friends.

Hi, and welcome to, tight, relax. Hi there. This is Cheryl.

This is Cheryl. In this episode, we are going to enjoy Chapter 1 of a story by Lucy

Mod Montgomery called The Story Girl. We will feature subsequent chapters in upcoming episodes, so we hope you will continue to listen.

After the story, you can continue on your journey to a restful sleep by listening to the soundscape depicted in the story, which is located in Prince Edward Island.

We may be biased, but we find the sounds of the wind, trees, and the seas on this beautiful island to be very relaxing.

I have one favor to ask.

Being a new show, it would be helpful to us if you rated, reviewed, and subscribed wherever you listen to podcasts,

as it helps other people find our show.

Before I start the story, let's make sure you have a suitable environment for sleep.

I like to try to ensure that my bedroom is as dark, quiet, and cool as possible.

You will have, of course, your own preferences.

Get comfortable in your bed and lie on your back. Make sure you are comfortable and that everything feels as it should.

Next, take a big breath in through your nose, and at the same time, let's do a great big stretch,

reaching as far as you can with your hands and your feet.

Now, as you breathe out through your mouth,

release the tension and let everything go soft. Feel as though your arms and legs are soft and floppy.

You can try this again a fewful sleep. Sleep. I'm a
