Relaxing Bedtime Stories for Adults
Narrated by Simon Mattacks, Abbe Opher, TK Kellman, Thomas Jones, Elizabeth Grace, Arif Hodzic, Jessika Downes-Gössl, and Chloe De Burgh
Relaxing Bedtime Stories for Adults gathers original tales written for the Get Sleepy podcast, built to ease a tired mind toward sleep.
Eight different writers contributed to this collection, so there's no single plot or cast of characters to follow. Instead, each story stands alone, and together they cover a wide range of settings and moods. One tale rides a night train down the California coast. Another retells an old myth about the sun and the moon. A few rework familiar scenes from Shakespeare into slower, softer versions of the originals. Others leave the ordinary world behind entirely, drifting out into distant galaxies and quiet, dreamlike spaces.
This is less a single story than a bedtime anthology: a mix of short fiction, gentle fantasy, myth retelling, and soft science fiction, all shaped around one goal, easing you toward sleep rather than building toward a big finish. Because each story is short and self-contained, you can dip in and out without losing a thread, which makes this a good pick for restless nights when a long novel feels like too much to hold onto.
It's a natural fit for anyone who already listens to Get Sleepy's other original stories, or for listeners who'd rather have a rotating set of short, calm tales than commit to one long book night after night. Anyone who likes gentle fantasy, quiet myth retellings, or soft, dreamlike science fiction should find something here.
A rotating cast from the Get Sleepy team reads soft and slow, so the mood holds steady from one tale to the next even as the settings change. There's nothing to keep track of — pick a story, settle in, and let it walk you down.
