The Settle
An oil-painted lighthouse at night, its lamp lit, a low full moon over the sea and a small white village on the shore.

For the mind that won't switch off at night.

Slow sleep stories, told twice. A small village on the Spanish coast, where nothing urgent happens. Let the day settle.

"I honestly think I only get 5 mins in before I'm asleep!"

Bobbie, listener

"If your mind is still racing when your head hits the pillow, I highly recommend Prince Freddie's stories. They're warm, calming, and offer a gentle way to unwind…"

Michelle Gomersbach, AWAKEN with Michelle

How it works

1

Press play in bed

Lights off, phone face down. One calm voice takes the night from here.

2

Go somewhere quiet

A lighthouse, a harbour, a village putting its lamps on. Nothing urgent happens there.

3

Hear it twice

The story is told once, then again, slower and softer. You're not meant to hear the end.

Not another app

The world

Up on the headland, a lighthouse keeper lights the lamp and watches a small village settle for the night: the harbour, the bakery letting its bread cool, the warm old wall where a small dog in a flat crown likes to sleep. His name is Freddie. Every night is a story from here.

The Settle began life as Prince Freddie Sleep Stories.

Questions

Which app do I need?

None. The free nights arrive by email with a play button. Premium plays in the podcast app you already use: Apple Podcasts, Spotify or any other.

Is it meditation?

No. There's nothing to do and nothing to get right. It's a story, told slowly, and you're allowed to fall asleep halfway through.

What happens after the 3 nights?

The third email invites you to try Premium, with 7 nights free. If you'd rather not, the free show is always there.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time. On the free trial we remind you 3 days before it ends, so nothing is ever charged by surprise.

Is it for children?

It's made for grown-ups whose minds won't switch off at night. It's gentle and clean, with nothing unsuitable in it, but it isn't written for children.

Tonight, let someone else do the talking.
