At first listen, the Get Sleepy podcast’s format is surprisingly basic: Cue the lulling intonations of a British narrator, who slowly reads an intentional yet perfectly dull tale against the ambient, cozy sounds of a crackling fireplace or the soft pitter-patter of rainfall. It’s an oddly effective combination from episode to episode, designed with a team of meditation experts and consultants from the National Sleep Foundation to maximize drowsiness and get you snoozing posthaste. The series’ main host, Tom Jones, is even somewhat of a nighttime podcast veteran (he’s also the voiceover for the app Slumber, launched in 2018). Get Sleepy’s ASMR-meets-bedtime stories appeal is apt for these high-anxiety existential times that keep us tossing and turning all night. We challenge you not to drift off by the end of the narrator’s opening introduction: “The podcast where we listen, we relax, and we get sleepy.”
