Fall asleep to the soft patter of rain on a lakeside camper, as Oscar Wilde’s gentle stories play from a nearby AM radio.

Both tales are read with soft narration and designed to help you relax and fall asleep fast. Settle in as these timeless bedtime stories unfold through the gentle static of a late-night broadcast, backed by the peaceful sounds of rain, pine trees, and distant thunder.

After a refreshing swim in the cool, clear waters, you retreat indoors just as a gentle thunderstorm begins. Bundled up in warm and dry comfy clothes, a hot cup of tea melts away the last chill from the lake. As rain softly patters on the roof and distant thunder rolls, the scent of pine fills the air. Settling into the soft bed and soothed by the peaceful storm, you’re ready for a deep, restful sleep.
