Good evening.

Imagine how much better the world would be if everyone woke up well rested

every day. That's why I in the team here at Slumber make the sleepy bookshelf.

You can join us in this mission by supporting the show via our premium feed,

which will get you add free access to the entire book shelf and exclusive

bonus episodes.

If premium isn't for you, that's okay Recommending your favorite episode to a friend or family member

is just as meaningful.

Thank you so much for your support,

and I hope you sleep well tonight.

Good evening and welcome to the sleepy bookshelf

where we put down our worries from the day and pick up a good book.

I'm your host, Elizabeth.

Thank you for choosing to be with me this evening.

Tonight we are returning to the secret garden.

But first, let's take a moment to prepare ourselves for rest.

Raise your eyebrows as high as you can.

Now relax and immediately feel that release of tension across your forehead.

Now, smile as wide as you can and hold it there and relax.

Squeeze your eyes shut and scrunch your nose and relax.

Now tilt your head from side to side and maybe you roll it back to look at the ceiling. Now relax as your neck sinks back into your pillow and hug your arms around yourself.

If you can, pull your legs into as tight as comfortable
