The audio story that will put you to sleep in minutes
From breathing tricks to pre-bed rituals, it seems we’re always on the lookout for new ways to fall asleep faster. While these may work to a certain degree, the latest method seems to be the most effective we’ve seen in years.
Created by meditation app “Calm”, the audio story Blue Gold, narrated by Stephen Fry, is being praised for its ability to quickly send anyone off to the land of nod.
Described as a “sleep inducing masterpiece,” Fry’s soothing voice takes you on a journey through the famous lavender fields of Provence in the south of France. Combined with a few drops of lavender oil nearby your bed, it’ll lull you to sleep in no time.
The creators of the story are so sure of its power that they “challenge anyone to stay awake for all 24 minutes.” And, if the word of those who’ve given it a go is to be believed, it seems they’re telling the truth.
