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.

Hello, I'm Cheryl, and this is Sleep Tight Relax, a calming bedtime podcast for the young and young at heart.

It's time to get cozy in bed and listen to tonight's story.

Our sleep story tonight is the fourth part of the tale of Daddy Longlegs.

Daddy Longlegs is so scared about trying to stop the horse and carriage that he asks Sandy Chipmunk

to help.

Sandy helps in his own way, and Daddy Long Legs gets onto the carriage.

Once he is home, everybody wants to come and hear about his adventure.

Daddy Long Legs tells the story so many times that soon people are no longer interested in listening.

When Daddy Long Legs goes to tell Rusty Wren, he finds himself in trouble.

No matter how your day was, let's forget about it for now and focus on slowing down and feeling relaxed.

Close your eyes and feel warm and secure.

Next, I would like you to take a slow, deep breath in through your nose.

As big a breath as you can and as slowly as you can.

Then slowly let the air out through your mouth.

Taking deep belly breaths helps us relax at any time of the day,
