Good evening. Welcome to the Just Sleep podcast. I'm Tasia, your host.

Every week, I will read you an old story to help you relax of the stressful day behind you and drift off to sleep.

Occasionally, we will run ads in order to cover the costs of the production of the podcast.

Rest assured, there will be no ads during or after the story.

If you prefer an ad-free and intro-free show, you can join Just Sleep Premium.

On this podcast, we are passionate about helping our community of listeners get better sleep.

Whether it's a car alarm outside, snoring partners or just the natural creeks of our home,

the smallest sounds can make sleep very difficult.

I have a neighbor that loves to play dance music at 6 in the morning.

That is why we want to share the Soundcore Sleep A30 Airbuds by Anchor.

They're the world's first smart, active, noise cancellation sleep earbuds designed to help you stay truly restful through the night.

They use smart active noise cancellation to block out disruptive sounds and the charging case includes real-time snore detection.

If your partner's snoring changes while you are asleep, the earbuds instantly adjusts the masking audio

so you remain undisturbed.

You can also explore more than 60 calming soundscapes powered by AI, each one created to help

your mind relax and guide you gently into deeper, more refreshing sleep.

So lie down, close your eyes, and let me read you a story.
