Turn a restful vacation into a restorative miracle in tonight’s magical bedtime story.

In tonight’s story, amid a stressful season of life, you retreat to the wooded countryside of Vermont to reset. You’ve been carrying so much, and the world seems to have lost its luster. So you rent a charming cottage on the lake and immerse yourself in the local scenery and culture. Every day, you discover some of the hidden gems, forgotten folklore, and charming quirks of the area. Every night, the moon shines a little bit brighter, becoming a palette upon which you can mix new color and vibrancy to paint into your life.

This story contains built-in relaxation cues, which you can follow, if you like, or simply let the words wash over you.

Sleep & Sorcery is a folklore and fantasy-inspired sleep series. My name is Laurel, and I’ll be your guide on tonight’s fantastical journey. Sleep & Sorcery is one part bedtime story, one part guided meditation, and one part dreamy adventure. Follow along with 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.

All stories are written and read by me, Laurel Hostak Jones… never by AI.

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.
