We all know sleep is about both quality and quantity. Getting enough sleep is a vital part of maintaining your physical and mental health and overall wellness so anything that contributes to a better night’s sleep is always welcome here at Enrich.

The recent boom in “sleep podcasts” encompasses a range of aims: some provide short-term relief each night, while others help build a bedtime routine

There has been lots of growth in the sleep podcast genre over the last few years with benefits such as new wellness routines, light relief from temporary moments of insomnia and relief for busy chattering minds.

Here are some great and different sleep-inducing podcasts for you to test this week.

‍

Sleep With Me

Sleep With Me is typical of the podcast genre. This one will have you out like a light, listening to the deep tones of a male voice mumbling and meandering about lots of weird, wonderful and nonsensical stories. Savour the minutes of calm and gentle chatter and nod off with a calm and easy mind.

The episodes meander over at least an hour’s running time.

As he explains: “I’m gonna try to create that space safe, send my voice across the deep, dark night. I’m gonna use a lulling, soothing, creaky dulcet tones, pointless meanders, superfluous tangents, ums and ahs... But what I’m really here to do is to keep you company as you fall asleep and take your mind off the stuff.”

The Headspace and Calm apps aims to make mindfulness techniques habitual through carefully crafted sleep meditations. There is something for everyone with brief 3-5 minute meditations running all the way up to hour long meditations. The aim of these sleep meditations is to include some deep breathing exercise to wind down, calming soothing sounds and environments to relax the mind.

Phoebe Reads A Mystery

If you love a good murder mystery before bed, well you will really enjoy this one. Some old school, classic novels like Agatha Christie's Poirot, The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes and Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility read by Phoebe Judge who has a wonderfully smooth and realising tone to her voice. Perfect for getting you to nod off.
