  • Spellbound at Bob & Wheel Books | Surrey Alley Sleep Story
    Sep 24 2024

    Engage with the magic of books in tonight’s Wizarding bedtime story.

    In tonight’s story, as the busy back-to-school season winds down in the magical shopping district of Surrey Alley, you close up shop at the beloved Bob & Wheel Books. This evening, you must turn over the bookstore for a new season, magically transforming it from a grand literary emporium to a cozy, intimate shop.

Sleep & Sorcery is one part bedtime story, one part guided meditation, and one part dreamy adventure. Listen to my voice for as long as it serves you, and when you’re ready, feel free to let go of the story and relax into sleep.

    Stories like mine are best with headphones! For comfort and security when drifting off to sleep, SleepPhones are the best thing I've found. They won't fall out like earbuds, and they're not bulky or uncomfortable like most over-ear headphones.

    In tonight’s story, as the sun sets on a glorious summer, you wake and prepare to turn the world toward a new season. You are the Fall Fairy: the bringer of crisp mornings, vibrant foliage, and waning days, taking the torch from your summery cousin and moving the Earth through a seasonal transition. You treat nature as your canvas, bringing new color to the harvest. If you’re still awake as the story comes to an end, I’ll guide you through a visualization to welcome autumn.

Dreamy stories for a dreamy sleep

The best praise that I can give this podcast is that I don't think I've finished a single story yet....because I'm usually asleep before it ends! As that is the intention then it's a job well done. I've listened to dozens of sleep podcasts and many do very little for me, the stories are dull or the narration is terrible or grating but Sleep and sorcery stories are not dull, they're engaging enough to draw you in, so you focus on the narrative and the imagery and not your own thoughts. I like the style of story telling and the smooth tone of the narration and whilst I fully appreciate that it should be slow, the only critism I have is that I find it a little too slow, but that's just a preference. In all, very happy to have found this podcast and can't wait to see how it grows and develops over time.

Amazing sleep podcast

This is such a relaxing podcast to fall asleep too. I often wake up in the night and the story sends me straight back to sleep, I love it!
