[0:00] Hello, this is Sky. I'll be here with you until sleep. You don't need to listen closely. You can drift off whenever you like. There's nothing to get right tonight. For now, just let yourself be held by the sound of my voice.

[0:40] Let's begin. Tonight, we can take our time. There's no need to rush toward sleep. And sometimes rest comes more easily when we stop watching the clock. For those of you who like returning to the same place at night, there's a membership with ad-free listening and a few longer episodes to rest with. It's there if and when you want it. The link is in the description.

[1:47] For now, this is simply a small pocket of quiet, a place where nothing is expected from you. You can let your attention drift in and out as you listen. Or you might not listen at all. Both are perfectly welcome. Everything here is an invitation.

[2:35] I invite you to settle in. Inviting you to settle in and if it feels right and if you're not already doing it, closing your eyes allowing your body to become heavy to sink into the bed, the mattress, the cushions, the pillows, wherever you are just now.

[3:32] Allowing your body to come to rest. Allowing your head to feel heavy. Your shoulders. Your back. Upper back. Mid-back. Lower back. Arms, elbows, wrist, hands, all becoming heavy, releasing into the bed, releasing into this moment down into the pelvis upper legs knees lower legs ankles feet.

[4:55] Sinking into the bed, the mattress, or wherever you are just now. Down the front of the body, face, chest, hands, abdomen, all sinking in. It doesn't matter which position you're lying in, just noticing all those parts of you sinking into the mattress, the cushions, the chair.

[5:59] Or wherever you are, front of the pelvis, the upper legs, knees.

[6:13] Lower legs.

[6:16] Ankles, and feet, taking their time, allowing themselves to be here just as they are. No pressure, no worries, no forcing. There's no right or wrong here. There's nothing else you need to do, and no one else you need to be but here and now in this place, just sensing, the tiniest bit more Sensing your way into peace, into ease, into this moment.

[7:38] This moment where you are held alive.

[7:49] Where you're supported, cared for. Just listening to the sound of my voice. Your gentle sleep companion. Here to keep you company. While you ease yourself into sleep. And if there's anything from the day still wandering around in your mind or in your body, I invite you to gently put it aside for now.

[8:56] And allow yourself to just be, just be, becoming more at ease and peace. Coming into this space of gentleness of now-ness of presence welcoming you into this space, just as you are. If it feels right noticing what else, might need to be known or acknowledged.

About the Podcast

With You Until Sleep
A gentle sleep companion. Rambling stories, quiet presence.
If your mind comes alive at night…
If your body feels tired but wired…
If you long for quiet, steady company as you fall asleep…
You’re in the right place.

This is a slow, steady sleep podcast designed to support your nervous system in softening at the end of the day.

Each episode blends:
• Gentle guided body relaxation
• Companioning for racing thoughts
• Slow storytelling rooted in nature
• Calm, ASMR-style voice pacing
• Spacious pauses that allow you to drift

There is no pressure to fall asleep.
No breath control to follow.
No affirmations to repeat.
Just grounded presence.
Just steady companionship.
Just permission to rest.

All episodes are written and read by me, Sky — a real human, a Focusing practitioner and somatic guide. For many years I’ve worked with people who feel deeply, who carry a lot, and who often find the night the hardest time of all.

These recordings are shaped by that work — and by a simple understanding: sometimes what helps most is knowing someone is there.

You can drift at any point.

Nothing needs resolving tonight.

About your host

Profile picture for sky hawk

sky hawk

Sky is a Focusing practitioner and somatic guide with years of experience supporting people who feel deeply and carry a great deal internally.
Much of her work centres around emotional safety and nervous system awareness — especially for those who appear capable and strong on the outside but feel overwhelmed beneath the surface.
With You Until Sleep grew from that work.
Again and again, Sky noticed that what helped most was not fixing, analysing or pushing for change — but steady presence. A regulated voice. A sense that someone was there.
Each episode is written and read by Sky, shaped by her understanding of how the nervous system unwinds when it feels safe, unhurried and unpressured.
Her style is slow, contained and grounded in nature — offering rest without demand.
She believes rest is not something to achieve, but something we soften into.
