Good evening. Imagine how much better the world would be if everyone woke up well-rested every day.

That's why I and 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 bookshelf 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 Elizabeth, your host.

Thank you so much for joining me tonight.

This evening we are continuing with Wuthering Heights.

But before we begin, let's take a moment here to calm our bodies and minds.

Close your eyes and take a deep, smooth breath in.

Feel the air expand through your ribs and then let it fall away.

Picture the day unwinding behind you like a long ribbon.

Every thought, every worry, slowly loosening its grip.

With each exhale, the ribbon drifts further away, floating out of reach until all that remains

is this still quiet moment.

Rest in that quiet.

Let your breath move like silk.

Light, effortless, endlessly soft, and allow yourself to be gathered gently into rest.
