Slip into the faery country for a midsummer festival in tonight’s sleep story, inspired by medieval romance.

In tonight’s story, you are a newly knighted member of the king’s court, eager to prove yourself in quest. As you pursue the legendary Questing Beast through the forest, you stumble into a magical midsummer celebration. All is not as it seems in the wood, and before long, you realize that you revel in the Otherworld, among the fairy folk.

This is the mid-season finale of Sleep & Sorcery – I’m taking a little break to welcome my second child, and I’ll be back as soon as I can with more original bedtime stories. Please follow me on Instagram to keep an eye out for schedule updates and additional material. Thanks so much for your continued support of my work and your understanding.

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. Listen to 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. If you’re still awake as the story comes to an end, I’ll guide you through a relaxing meditation inspired by the summer solstice.

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.
