Experience the profound relief of finally letting go as you allow yourself to be completely "Held by the Earth," releasing the wearying effort of holding yourself together. In this moonlit forest sanctuary, your only task is to sink into the ancient, steady support of the ground beneath you and surrender to a deep, restorative sleep.

Tonight’s sleep story for adults, Warm Night at the Coast, is a little escape I’ve been holding onto for a long time.

If you’ve been feeling the lingering chill of spring or carrying a bit too much from the day, I invite you to leave it behind and drift with me into the golden, salt-tinged air of a Florida spring in 1987. Together, we’ll wander through a cozy camper community, slow down with the rhythm of the tides, and settle into the simple comforts of sunshine, strawberries, and the soft hush of the ocean.

This story is especially close to my heart, inspired by the quiet, beautiful moments I shared with my grandparents—those in-between times where everything felt easy, warm, and safe.

As always, fall asleep whenever you like, change any detail you wish, and let this be your space to rest.

I’m so glad you’re here. It’s time to dream away.
