Fall asleep with Henrik

Hi, Sleepy.
This sort of a reintroduction, cause of lovely newcomers!
I'm Swedish and I'm doing this in English. I'm nervous. I don't have a plan.

I talk about being afraid of failing. About being a boy. About sleep as a kind of vacation. About doing something without knowing how.
No sheep. No whalesong. I just talk. And somewhere in there is the idea that you are not alone in this.
Sleep if you want. Or don't.
Sleep tight.

Hi Sleepy!
I'm getting older. My body knows it. My thoughts move slower than they used to. Inside I still feel like I did at twenty.
For many years I tried to be the kind of man I thought I was supposed to be. I drank too much. The shame from those years is still with me.
Now I make the things I want to make. It took a long time to get here.

I also think about consciousness. About what a self is. The cells in my body. The universe. And me somewhere in between, one single person who can never be replaced.

You don't have to follow along. Let the words pass.

Sleep Tight!

Hi sweet Sleepy!

A rerun from the archive, first heard in May 2024. In this one I drift between my teenage years with my best friend Marcus — our ambitious attempt at a homemade fantasy film, and a little improvisation game we invented called "Book of the Day" — and bigger things: the Voyager probes, the Golden Record, and our strange urge to send a piece of ourselves into the void. It gets a bit dreamlike towards the end. Don't follow the thread too closely.

Let my voice wash over you, and drift off.

Sleep tight!

Hi dearest Sleepy!

A rerun from the archive — this was the very first English episode I ever made, back in May 2024. No music, no guided meditation, none of the usual sleep podcast stuff. Just me, letting my mind wander in my imperfect English: furry conventions, untranslatable Swedish phrases, and why we're so hard on ourselves. Don't listen too closely. Let my voice wash over you, and drift off.

Sleep tight!

Hi Sleepy.
This time I wander through childhood memories, my old teenage barbershop quartet, an old friend, and some thoughts about how strange it is to simply be alive.

My English stumbles here and there, my thoughts wander off, and I occasionally forget what I was talking about. As usual.

You don’t have to follow any of it. Just let me talk somewhere in the background and see where we end up.
Sleep tight.
