Life can sometimes be challenging, having to juggle work, children and everything else in between. As a result of our busy lifestyles, it is important that we take the time every once and a while to look after ourselves and get a boost of positive motivation to lift our spirits and overall state of mind.
Fortunately, current technology allows us to have an abundance of information at our fingertips, being able to access it whenever and wherever we want. Podcasts have become increasingly popular sources of information in recent years due to their easy listening and ability to provide informative entertainment, becoming a common tool to de-stress and rejuvenate.

Sleep With Me
Our minds are constantly racing with thoughts about our lives, family, pets, and so much more. However, it is often at night when we’re in bed that these thoughts and overthinking habits tend to rapidly increase, affecting our ability to fall asleep and effectively give our body the time it needs to rejuvenate. This then turns into a vicious cycle of becoming tired and cranky throughout the day. ‘Sleep With Me’ is a podcast that helps you to forget about your problems by simply tuning into a story that progressively gets more boring until you eventually fall asleep. So, get into bed, press play, close your eyes and (hopefully) fall asleep.
