The Slumber Trail was created for people who find it hard to switch off at night.
These are gentle walking stories, told slowly and without urgency, designed to give your mind something steady and unthreatening to rest on as sleep arrives.
There are no sudden turns, no dramatic moments, and nothing you need to remember.
Just the quiet sense of moving forward, one step at a time.
All journeys are available free on YouTube.
There is no schedule to follow, and no right way to listen.
Why walking stories?
There is something deeply calming about walking.
The rhythm of footsteps, the gradual change of light, the feeling of passing through a landscape rather than arriving somewhere specific — all of this gives the mind permission to soften.
Each story follows a real long-distance path, described at an unhurried pace.
Landmarks come and go.
History drifts in and out.
If your attention wanders, that’s perfectly fine.
The walk continues whether you’re listening or not.
How these stories are meant to be used
You don’t need to listen closely.
Many people play an episode quietly in the background, allowing the voice to become part of the room rather than the focus of it.
Some listeners fall asleep within minutes.
Others wake and rejoin the walk later in the night.
Some return to the same episode again and again.
There is no right way to listen.
A note on tone and pacing
All stories are written and narrated with sleep in mind.
There are:
- No sudden sounds
- No music
- No emotional peaks
- No pressure to stay awake
The intention is not to entertain, but to accompany — gently and consistently — as rest takes over.
Where to listen
All current journeys are available free on YouTube.
New trails are added slowly and thoughtfully, with an emphasis on quality, consistency, and calm rather than frequency.
You can explore the available walks on the Stories page.
If nights feel long or restless, you’re not alone.
You’re always welcome to join the trail —
for a few minutes,
or for the whole night.
