Sleep Magic: Sleep Hypnosis & Meditation for Sleep Podcast

Jessica Porter brings 25 years of clinical hypnotherapy experience to Sleep Magic, and it shows in how precisely she structures each session. This is not generic "breathe in, breathe out" stuff. Porter uses actual hypnotic induction techniques — progressive relaxation, visualization, anchoring — layered over carefully paced scripts that guide you from fully awake to genuinely unconscious. The format rotates between a few different episode types. The main offerings are full sleep hypnosis sessions that run about 55 to 60 minutes. Then there are hypnotic bedtime stories, often based on retellings of classic literature, which blend narrative with induction techniques. A monthly "Magic Mailbag" Q&A episode addresses listener questions about sleep struggles, and shorter "Mini Magic" clips (5 to 10 minutes) offer quick insights between the longer sessions. The show publishes weekly on Wednesdays. Premium subscribers get biweekly bonus episodes and the full back catalog. Porter occasionally brings on sleep scientists as guests, which grounds the show in something more than vibes. Multiple reviewers specifically mention being able to reduce or stop sleep medication after making Sleep Magic part of their routine. With a 4.7-star rating from over 1,500 reviews, this is one of the highest-rated sleep hypnosis podcasts on Apple Podcasts. If you have tried meditation apps and found them too passive, the hypnosis angle adds an active therapeutic dimension that works differently. Porter knows what she is doing, and the results speak for themselves.
