Welcome to send me to sleep, the place to find relaxing stories for a good night's rest. My name's Andrew.

Thanks for joining me.

Tonight, I'll be starting a new story.

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson Part 1, Chapter 1 to 3

First published in 1883, Treasure Island follows the story of Jim Hawkins, a young boy who happens

upon a hidden treasure map. This discovery sets him off on a quest for hidden

treasure meeting bold characters and adventurous obstacles along the way.

Though it's important to be aware that this story contains themes of violence and danger, the

story has been lightly edited to make it more suitable for sleep

And don't worry if you should fall asleep before the end as I'll be recapping the story so far at the beginning of each new episode.

So if you're prepared to set sail, let's get ready for sleep.

Start by taking a deep, relaxing breath. And settle your body in whatever way feels most comfortable.

Now let any thoughts of the day drift away from your mind and simply follow the sound of my voice.

Now let your eyes fall heavy

and your breath soften, as we settle in for a peaceful night's sleep. Oh, Part 1. The Old Buckinear

Chapter 1. The Old Sea Dog at the Admiral Benbow.

Squire Trelawney, Dr. Livesay and the rest of these gentlemen have asked me to write down the whole particulars

about Treasure Island.
