WikiSleep is a simple yet effective sleep app and podcast designed to help people with busy or curious brains relax and unwind.
Find the App at WIKISLEEP.COM and Try At No Cost Today.
Discover happier, more restful sleep through a constantly growing selection of fun sleep stories, biographies, weird histories, easy meditations and other curiosities—all designed to help you relax and unwind. Unlike many other sleep apps that rely heavily on tricks or deep meditation, our content works on the simple principle of diversion. The stories we provide are interesting enough to grab your attention—but calm enough that you can drift off while listening.
We offer stories that are unusual for sleep apps, such as biographies of fascinating people like The Notorious B.I.G., Marie Antoinette or Bob Ross—or weird histories of everyday things like wine or cameras. Regardless of the story, every episode is delivered in a calm and soothing way.
WHAT YOU'LL FIND:
A growing list of stories, capers, histories, biographies, ambient sounds, meditations, breath exercises for anxiety, Spanish and French episodes...plus much more.

Customer Reviews
The Best!
I’m hooked. This is perfect. So soothing and distracting.
Perfect Podcast
I have been searching for a podcast to go to sleep to. It takes so long to fall asleep and other podcasts have too many ads! I really hate the idea of listening to ads to go to sleep. I hope it stays free.
Loud ads make it impossible to sleep
Just as you are falling asleep an extremely loud ad with tones wakes you up again. It comes on right at the end of the show, for maximum disturbance .
Kind of makes the show pointless, doesn’t it? The content and presenter is great, otherwise.
