Sleep Yarns
Stories for falling asleep. Long, deliberately uneventful, and designed to be forgotten.
About the App
Sleep Yarns provides long, calming bedtime stories for adults who struggle to fall asleep. The stories are interesting enough to occupy a busy mind, but boring enough to let you drift off. Layer ambient soundscapes, set a fade-out timer, and put your phone down.
- Sleep Stories: Long stories narrated by calm voices — spanning nature walks, archival work, quiet villages, and more. 30+ stories available, with 100 on the way.
- Ambient Soundscapes: Layer rain, fire, ocean, forest, white noise, and more beneath any story. Adjust the balance to your preference.
- Sleep Timer: Gradual volume fade over a duration you choose. No jarring alarm, no waking up to stop playback.
- Morning Ambience: Wake gently with bird sounds that fade in at a scheduled time. Free tier includes a fixed morning window; subscribers get full control.
- I Can't Sleep: One-tap mode on the home screen. Picks from your favourites or downloaded stories and starts playing immediately.
- Privacy First: No account, no email, no data collection. Bring Your Own Audio stays on your device — never uploaded.
- Offline Playback: Download stories for fully offline listening. Perfect for travel or spotty connections.
