What can I expect from Sleep Stories?

Sleep Stories are designed to help our users fall into a restful sleep while listening to a variety of enjoyable stories about everything from the Sierra Nevada to magical waterfalls. Our stories help you transition from the hustle and bustle of daily life to the calm of the evening. We even have a nap category if you're looking for a quick rest.

We offer a variety of categories including 'Fiction,' 'Nature,' and 'Music' with stories read by over 50 different narrators. We even have some stories that were created to induce ASMR (Autonomous sensory meridian response), a reaction that some people experience when exposed to certain auditory stimuli.

You can seamlessly listen to hours of our most popular Sleep Stories with our curated Sleep Playlists. Each playlist is about 3-4 hours long, and some, like our Exploring Europe playlist, include a soundscape at the end.

Sleep Stories can be found under the 'Sleep' button of the 'Discover' menu in the Calm app, and you can select from a variety of categories to find the story just right for lulling you to sleep!

What other tools do you offer to help with sleep?

Our Sleep Sound library has a vast array of soothing soundscapes and nature scenes designed to help you sleep. Choose from relaxing rainstorms, to ocean waves, to white noises like fans or static to brown noises like the low roar of strong waterfalls, plus many more. With almost a hundred different options, Calm's Soundscape library has something for everyone, whether you're looking to relax, focus or fall asleep.

We also offer a variety of relaxing breathing exercises and sleep meditations to help you calm your mind and drift to sleep.

I am having trouble falling asleep—where do I get started with Calm?

We recommend starting off with our curated Sleep Collection which includes our most popular Sleep Stories, Sleep Remixes, Music, Meditations, Breathing Exercises, and Soundscapes. Our 2 most popular Sleep Stories, ‘Wonder’ and ‘Drifting Back to Sleep’ are great options to start with.

We also have a Sleep Check In feature which offers a new way to track your sleep. Check in with your nightly sleep quality, and we'll show you patterns to guide you towards better sleep habits and health.

Are Sleep Stories good for kids and adults?

Absolutely. We have a Calm Science study here that shows how Calm helped kids and parents with sleep:

In a Calm Science study of 900+ parents (US) who use Calm Kids with their kids at least once a week, the parents reported they had lower stress and slept better, and that their kids fell asleep faster and had less stress and anxiety.

• 74% felt that Calm Kids helped lower their parenting-stress
• 63% felt that Calm Kids helped their own sleep
• 95% say Calm Kids Sleep Stories help their child fall asleep faster
• 75% say Calm Kids meditations help their child
