3 Great Sleep Podcasts

Podcasts are becoming more popular.  There are lots of genres choose from. From comedy to true crime, although we do not recommend the latter just before bed! We have been exploring some highly rated podcasts and we have narrowed down our top 3 below.

Planet Sleep

Planet Sleep’s podcast host Josh Thomas has put his soothing voice to great use. He creates a truly relaxing and immersive expierience. Combining soothing music and the tranquil sounds of nature. Whilst the content is not currently being renewed, the topics that are available to choose from range from space to spiritual journeys. As a result, we think this is a great podcast to listen to before bed.

Boring Books for Bedtime

Usually this wouldn’t be the most tempting title for a podcast. But if you are looking for something to put you to sleep then what could be better! Released weekly, the hosts use slow pace and monotonous tones to bore you to sleep. Mind numbing topics include art needlework and household management.
