Stephen Dalton Sleep Stories

by Stephen Dalton

Fall asleep with soothing bedtime stories, all written and recorded by Irish actor, writer, and narrator, Stephen Dalton. These sleep stories are here to offer a little peace and joy out at the end of the day, and aid you in getting the rest you deserve. Sleep is so important, but modern life has made it more difficult to obtain because we've limited the transition time between wake and rest. That's where my bedtime stories can help. Just turn one on as you're settling in for bed. My original sleep stories will ease your mind, relax your body, and help you rest more easily and deeply.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Stephan’s stories and voice are very relaxing and helped me fall asleep but the ads in the middle and end are jarring - they come in with no warning and at a higher volume. I understand they have to make money and happily listen to a few ads at the beginning but this makes it hard to not get awoken again at times.

Johnny Appleseed1 · Jan 2025

Your voice is a soothing balm and it calms my racing thoughts allowing me to relax into sleep. Thank you

Stan'swife · Sep 2024

Five stars, he’s a real person, doing a real job of creating unique stories to fall asleep to.

November 2025 I’m adding a comment to thank Stephen for downloading more Sleep Stories on Apple Podcast! Your stories are so soothing. 💜 Another preview is needed to say how very beautiful the Crystal Cave sleep story is. I will be listening to this one over and over. Thank you for such a dreamy one, Stephen🩵 I listen to Stephen on YouTube and am so happy to find him here. I added him immediately to my Apple podcast lineup! His gentle cadence and stories make me fall asleep and for that I’m grateful.
