Some nights your child is overexcited. Some nights they’re worried about tomorrow, or can’t let go of today, or just don’t want you to leave the room. Zeepy Sleep is a bedtime podcast for those nights – and the ordinary ones too. Each episode is a calm, slow story for children aged 3–8, with gentle narration and soft soundscapes. Kip the Cat and Slumber the Sloth are there every time, and the stories are built around the feelings that show up at bedtime: worry, big excitement, the dark feeling scary, missing someone, a hard day that’s left a mark, or a child who simply isn’t ready to stop. The idea is simple. A child who feels understood settles more easily than one who’s told to go to sleep. So the stories name the feeling, sit with it for a moment, and then let it drift off with the rest of the day. This podcast is the wind-down. The app is the rest of the night. Every Settle story here is in the Zeepy app with no intros and a longer run of sleep sounds at the end. Then it carries on where the podcast stops: audio for falling asleep, for the early hours when they stir, and for the morning when it’s okay to get up. The first 12 pieces are free. Podcast listeners get their first month of the full library on us – there’s a code waiting at zeepy.co/app. 📲 Download free at zeepy.co/app Created by Zeepy – the team behind innovative, science-backed sleep tools for families.

Download the free app now at zeepy.co/app Welcome to The Zeepy Sleep Podcast: a calming bedtime story for kids designed to help children drift into safe, peaceful sleep. In tonight's episode, Slumber the Sloth settles against his favourite oak tree on a night when something feels different. The great tree's branches hang low, not broken, just heavy from a whole season of holding nests, beetles, acorns and moss. Slumber doesn't try to fix anything. He simply notices, names each small creature the oak has kept safe, and gently helps the tree remember what has been holding it all along: the warm, steady ground beneath its roots. One by one, every creature settles deeper into sleep, and so does the oak. This is a children's bedtime story with a quiet second layer. Your child hears a beautiful forest tale about a tired tree discovering it is supported. You may hear something else entirely, and both readings are exactly right. 💜 What your child will experience: A steady, sensory-rich wind-down with no sudden twistsGentle rhythms of naming and noticing that slow the mindWarm earth, soft moss, fireflies dimming to a gentle pulseThe reassurance that everything is held, all the way downIdeal for children aged 2–6If these stories are part of your bedtime now, follow The Zeepy Sleep Podcast so they're always there when you need them, and leave a comment if you feel like it.

Each stumble was small, but together they felt impossibly heavy, so he curls up under a table and hides. When Kip the Kitty wriggles in after him, she doesn't try to fix anything. Instead, she notices the dust bunnies, wonders whether crumbs are heavier than buttons, and together they build a tiny pillow fort and invent a gentle game that makes the heavy feeling just a little lighter. 💜 What your child will experience: Reassurance that hard days are normal, and that small frustrations can add up to big feelingsA gentle model of comfort through quiet companionship, not being told to cheer upSoft breathing cues and cozy sensory details woven naturally into the storyAn honest, soothing message: heavy feelings don't have to disappear; they soften when someone is beside youIdeal for children aged 2–6, especially after a tricky or frustrating day🐱 The Zeepy app is now live!
