The complete list of sleep stories on SoftlyStill — 842 pieces, newest first, 30 to a page.
A kitchen late at night (a sleep story), when you have more time than usual — for the hours after a late shift
One small light on, a cooling cup of tea, and the rest of the house dark.
Settle in →A lake before dawn — a slow story for the end of the day, when you are waiting for something — for a racing mind
Flat water, no wind, and light that has not arrived yet.
Settle in →The house after everyone is asleep, if you have five quiet minutes — for a restless night
The hour when the house belongs to nobody and nothing needs doing.
Settle in →The night train (a sleep story), if you are tired of apps — for winding down
Somewhere between two cities, in the dark, where nobody needs anything from you.
Settle in →A caravan by the sea — a slow story for the end of the day, when your attention is scattered — for a racing mind
Thin walls, wind outside, and the sound of shingle about fifty metres away.
Settle in →An attic room, if you are doing this instead of scrolling — for a restless night
Sloping ceiling, rain on the roof a foot above your head.
Settle in →A lighthouse at the end of a long day (a sleep story), when you have been putting it off — for winding down
One light turning, a kettle, and weather you are on the right side of.

Upper deck, front seat, a city going past that you do not have to join.
Settle in →A field under snow, when you have tried everything else — for jet lag
Everything muffled, everything white, and no tracks but yours.

A small harbour, a rope that creaks, and a boat that moves about a metre in the night.
