Welcome back, Sleepy. Tonight, it's just you and me again—Henrik, here in my little studio in Stockholm, whispering gently into your ear with my weird dialect and my equally peculiar point of view. It's early, earlier than I'd prefer, and summer has burst upon Stockholm almost overnight, turning everything brilliantly, inexplicably green. How does that always happen?We'll wander together through absurd memories of my dishwashing escapades at 25, existential bedtime battles, and those peculiar, intrusive thoughts about stabbing forks and asking strangers for hats. Don’t worry—it's less scary than it sounds. I'm just rambling, unedited and unscripted, quietly exploring the oddly comforting chaos of being human.So settle in, drift off to sleep, and let yourself be gently carried away by my aimless but heartfelt musings. After all, none of us are perfect—and isn't that perfectly fine?Sleep Tight!More about Henrik, click here: https://linktr.ee/HenrikstahlListen ad free and join my universe at: https://fallasleepwithhenrik.supercast.com/ Become a supporting member and listen to ad free episodes at: https://plus.acast.com/s/falli-asleep-with-henrik.

Big Spaces, Small Hearts
Hi Sleepy. Tonight we stand together on the edge of something that maybe was never there to begin with. I talk about the third arm that vanished, the cliff that never was, and the Pope I almost licked. We float through cathedral ceilings and asphalt plains, childhood fears and ABBA-induced tears, trying not to fall—or at least not fall alone. There’s Harriet, singing in the car. There’s my dad, holding a band-aid like a book title. And there’s you, Sleepy, drifting beside me in the strange safety of storytelling. Loss isn’t just absence. It’s surprise.Sleep Tight!More about Henrik, click here: https://linktr.ee/HenrikstahlListen ad free and join my universe at: https://fallasleepwithhenrik.supercast.com/ Become a supporting member and listen to ad free episodes at: https://plus.acast.com/s/falli-asleep-with-henrik.

Just One of Those Nights, Sleepy
Hi, Sleepy. This is me again. Henrik. Floating above the endless void of meaning and language and strangely shaped English sentences. In tonight’s episode, I reflect on the tragic beauty of being a Swedish man with a microphone and no filter. We talk about parenting, loneliness, oceans, boats, triangles on Venus, the impossibility of controlling anything, and the maddening mystery of what birthdays felt like in 1348. I admit my fears. I praise curiosity. I thank my imagination. And I speak, because that’s what I do. Words tumble like socks in a dryer, some pairing off, some lost in the dark.This isn’t a lullaby. It’s something else. Something that floats. Welcome to another introspective and imaginative journey to sleep.Sleep tight!

This Is Not a Sleep Podcast (But Maybe It Is)
Hi, Sleepy. Welcome to this oddly brave little boat of a podcast, wobbling out into the great English-speaking sea with nothing but mismatched oars, a thermos of lukewarm tea, and your host, Me: Henrik – a nervous Swede with no plan and all the feelings. This is the very first step, a humble monologue about nothing and everything: fear of failure, boyhood nostalgia, sleep as a kind of vacation, and the quiet courage of not knowing what you’re doing but doing it anyway.I won't try to lull you into peace – I'll just talk to you... No sheep. No whalesong. Just vulnerability, some rambling, and the deeply unmarketable idea that you are not alone in this strange, sleepless world.So drift off if you want. Or don’t. That’s okay too.Sleep Tight!More about Henrik, click here: https://linktr.ee/HenrikstahlListen ad free and join my universe at: https://fallasleepwithhenrik.supercast.com/ Become a supporting member and listen to ad free episodes at: https://plus.acast.com/s/falli-asleep-with-henrik.

Between You and me, Why did he join the navy?
Sleepy, tonight’s journey to sleep is less about neat conclusions and more about wandering through the vaults of your childhood imagination—swimming in coins, stumbling through radish economies and spy mice in pillar boxes. It is what it is. What happens happens, and right now there’s nothing we can do but let our thoughts drift where they may. Let my half-remembered broken english on ducks, toads, fraggles, and childhood cartoons be your lullaby—an introspective, imaginative voyage toward a peaceful night.Sleep Tight!More about Henrik, click here: https://linktr.ee/HenrikstahlListen ad free and join my universe at: https://fallasleepwithhenrik.supercast.com/ Become a supporting member and listen to ad free episodes at: https://plus.acast.com/s/falli-asleep-with-henrik.
