The Slumber Trail

Gentle walking stories to help you sleep

Long, unhurried journeys along ancient paths, quiet coastlines, and timeless landscapes — told slowly, softly, and without urgency.

These stories are designed to help your mind settle, your breathing soften, and your thoughts drift naturally into sleep.

There is nothing to remember.
Nothing to follow.
Nowhere you need to be.

What this is

As night draws in, each story invites you to walk at an easy pace through real long-distance trails.

You may notice the light fading, the rhythm of footsteps, the quiet presence of history and landscape — but if your attention wanders, that’s perfectly fine.

Many listeners fall asleep within minutes.
Others listen through the night.

Both are exactly as intended.

How to use these stories

You don’t need to listen closely.

Simply:

• Lower your screen brightness
• Set a comfortable volume
• Allow the voice to fade into the background

The stories continue whether you’re awake or asleep.

If you wake during the night, you can rejoin the walk wherever you are.

The journeys

Each trail is explored slowly, often over several long episodes.

You’ll find walks such as:

• Ancient Roman frontiers
• Rolling English countryside
• Coastal paths at dusk
• Quiet hills under fading skies

All stories are available free on YouTube.

You can browse the full collection on the Stories page.

There are no sudden sounds.
No music that swells or startles.
No dramatic moments.

The pacing is steady.
The tone is calm.
The intention is rest.

Wherever your night leads,
you’re welcome to walk a little way along the trail.
