This is a very special episode with a guest appearance from one of our listeners who features as our guide for this tale.

Welcome to Sleepstream — a podcast created to help you fall asleep… gently, naturally, and without pressure.

If you’ve been struggling to rest, or your mind just won’t slow down at night, you’re not alone.We live in a fast, noisy world that doesn’t always give us permission to pause — let alone sleep deeply and peacefully.

That’s why this podcast exists.

Sleepstream is a soft space to let go of the day…to leave behind lists, worries, expectations…and simply wander through calm stories, gentle reflections, and dreamlike places — all spoken slowly, quietly, with kindness.

But beyond the calm voice and the quiet words, there’s something deeper at work: your body’s natural rhythm — and the way your mind prepares for sleep.

As you listen, your breathing slows.Your heart rate drops.And your brain begins to shift from active thinking into slower, calmer waves — the ones that signal the beginning of sleep.

These stories and soundscapes are designed to guide you through that shift — from the busy outer world to the softer, inner one.

The voice you’re hearing right now, the pace of the story, the pauses, the gentle imagery — they’re all here to help you cross the threshold from waking into dreaming.

There’s no right way to listen.Some people fall asleep halfway through.Some drift in and out.And some listen all the way to the end, using the story as a bridge to quietness.

All of those are welcome here.

So take a deep breath…Get comfortable.And if you find your mind wandering — that’s okay.Let it drift. Let it float.

Because you’ve arrived at Sleepstream —and sleep doesn’t need to be forced.It just needs space.

I’m Tim and I’ll be here with you gently, quietly until your dreams take over

Drift into calm, Dream without effort.
