Just me and Ian and the writers
Sleepbound is two of us — Ian and Alex — making slow, gentle audio for people who can’t sleep. We read long, well-loved books softly, hour after hour, we tell cosy bedtime stories for grown-ups, and we make slow ambient music for nights when words feel like too much.
The stories on Sleepbound Nights come from the writers, each series under its own pen-name — quiet villages, a bookshop cat, a kettle coming slowly to the boil. Nobody is ever in any danger. The worst thing that happens most nights is a burnt pan.
There’s just me and Ian and the writers, making it all at the pace of two people who actually want you to fall asleep. Sleepbound is a growing, sleepy little corner of the world, and we’re glad you found it. Have a look around.
