Guided Sleep Meditation & Sleep Hypnosis from Sleep Cove

Christopher Fitton is a hypnotherapist who turned his clinical skills into a podcast, and the result is one of the more versatile sleep shows available. Each episode blends guided hypnosis techniques with ambient music, nature sounds, and bedtime stories that range from folk tales to Greek and Norse mythology retellings. The format varies more than most sleep podcasts: some episodes are pure sleep talk-downs designed to knock you out in 15 minutes, while others are longer narrative pieces that run close to an hour. With 551 episodes and a 4.6-star rating from over 2,000 reviews, the variety means you can match the episode to how your insomnia is hitting on any given night. Fitton's voice is calm without being artificially hushed, and the background music is mixed at a level that enhances rather than competes with the narration. Listeners dealing with anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain have specifically called out this show as helpful, which makes sense given Fitton's clinical background. Recent episodes include Chinese folk tales for Lunar New Year, guided meditation sleep stories set in winter manor houses, and rapid-fire sleep talk-downs. Premium subscribers get access to over 400 ad-free episodes. The free version has occasional ads, but they're generally placed before the relaxation content begins.
