About this listen

Meet Sam. A sleepy child. He will transform today's bedtime for you and your family. Struggling to get your child to fall asleep? Is your bedtime routine unenjoyably long or stressful even? Welcome to a new and truly magical way of helping your child fall asleep at night. Forest of Sleep is a deeply relaxing and unique kid's meditation, which uses beautiful storytelling combined with meditation techniques with special sleepy words and a special sleep voice to help your child fall asleep. Guess what? You will really enjoy it too.

Aimed at both boys and girls and designed to be used at bedtime, your child will follow Sam on his journey from his familiar bedroom where he is having difficulty falling asleep into a beautiful forest where he encounters many magical creatures who help him on his journey to restful sleep.

A unique collaboration between children's author Katie Flaxman and hypnotherapist narrator Samantha Redgrave from the Aluna Moon partnership, this children's meditation utilises the expertise and techniques of meditation practitioners with enchanting and powerful story telling in a way not seen before.

Get ready to see your children's bedtime in a new light!

It never occurred to me to try a meditation story at bedtime and so I am super grateful for the recommendation by a friend as it was an absolute success. I regularly babysit for two little boys who at times can still be quite hyperactive when it comes to bedtime. Both responded really well to the story, and seemed intrigued by the change in their bedtime routine. I stayed in the room with them whilst the story played. The story is very captivating, the mental imagery the story creates is absolutely stunning and the use of music to accompany the narrators voice is very comforting and soothing. I would highly recommend to anyone with young children to give this mediation story a go as part of their bedtime routine.

Stunning meditation story that was a success!

Meditation + Story = Sleepy Children. Wow, this is such a treat! My kids are used to listening to bedtime stories and meditations but I decided to buy this one as the story we usually listen to was getting a bit monotonous. I felt like it was just boring them (and me!) to sleep. But the story of Sam in Forest of Sleep is incredibly engaging as is the background music. I was hooked from the first line. My eldest who is 6 actually wants to listen to it and wants to go to bed now! Both are usually happy for me to leave whilst they listen away, whoop! The narrator has such a relaxing and soothing voice, they are almost always asleep by the end. I'm a teacher so understand the pressures on children at school so this is the perfect way to unwind after a busy day. Thank you

It works! Truly magical kids meditation.

What a beautifully written story using light, colour and texture words specifically within the story to soothe you into a deep sleep.
Through a mixture of carefully articulated narration, sounds and stunning mind imagery, you feel transported to a dream-like world where you feel relaxed and able to free your mind from all of the day's thoughts.
Aliteration and the use of meditative language draws you into the story and allows you to settle and drift away with it.
I would recommend this to anyone who struggles to unwind before bed, not just children. However, I can imagine this would be a 'lifesaver', for parents with children who struggle with bedtime also!


Perfect story to soothe you into slumber!

What a beautiful story, with the use of words and level of detail. The rhythm of speech was so relaxing. I'd recommend for my two nephews!

I’m so happy that I was introduced to this audio book by a friend. My daughter has terrible trouble sleeping, and is often still so alert and stimulated by bedtime. I was a little sceptical at first, having never tried this myself before, however I was so pleasantly surprised. My daughter (and I) felt incredibly calm and relaxed during the book, the narrator has a lovely calm voice which was very a relaxing tone, and easy to hear. The story is beautiful, and my daughter really enjoyed it. It’s great for kids imaginations, but not to the point over over stimulating them so their minds are not ready for sleep. I’m happy to say that my daughter (and I) slept soundly following this. I hope that one day this is made into a paperback book, I think this would be a real hit, and I know lots of mummies and babies who would agree.

Beautiful story
