Calm Sleep Stories | Jupiter and his Mighty Company with Alan Sklar

Download Calm: calm.onelink.m...
An epic tale of the Greek Pantheon, told by James Baldwin, and narrated by Alan Sklar.
About Sleep Stories
Calm created a natural sleep aid, in the form of bedtime stories for grown-ups called Sleep Stories. These sleep-inducing tales mix soothing words, music, and sound-effects to help you wind down and drift off to dreamland. Most people never hear the end of the story as they have fallen asleep far before the narrator gently speaks his or her final words. We're recording new Sleep Stories every week so be sure to download the Calm app.

[@johnkenny6024]

I'm glad they've put a few out for people who might not be able to afford it. Thank you ❤️

[@katiewoods4675]

Yeah i know i am soo thankful

[@katiewoods4675]

😀🙏😁

[@shervellebergholz]

I know, right???? I love the app but can't afford it...🥺

[@YEETUS_MAXIMUS_]

The app doesn't cost anything

[@sapphirejoseph4880]

I.e me

[@saoirsenifhogartaigh8344]

Am I the only one that thinks that this is incredibly relaxing but just too interesting to sleep to? Like it's 4:46am right now and I've been trying to sleep for hours but damn, I got so into this story

[@masonlaw907]

Seldontop Music 4:56 for me this tripped me out

[@kgoodridge1]

I want to rewind and listen again but, like you, it's too interesting to fall asleep during. Guess it's time for Rasa.

[@arrietty1619]

its 4:28 am. ughhhhhhh. cant. sleep 😭😭😭🙃🙃🙃

[@antonellapastor861]

Yeah, I was so into the story that when I stop hearing his voice I was like "This caaaan't be the endddd"

[@lmaookspam7890]

[@jolieusher]

Thank you, I appreciate you putting on a few to try for the people that can’t afford a full subscription!

[@brookechapman5141]

Agreed

[@isabellelaval7294]

Wow! I didn't know about the subscriptions. Thanks so much for mentioning it. Of course, not at all sure I can afford it, but I'll look into it. A few hours of sleep are priceless. Hope you're doing ok.

[@bccabernet]

I agree, I can't afford the subscription either. Calm has very few stories that are free.

[@handyAsAsnake]

Try Sleep Stories Alexa Skill, way cheaper!

So soothing and relaxing love bed time stories for adults! The voice is awesome

[@oliviaadams3706]

Even though this didn’t help me get to sleep which is ironic this man deserves a lot of thanks bc I might not have got to sleep but I feel so much calmer and relaxed

[@bdbros6737]

I use this app everyday it gets me asleep like 👋 that it is 1000000000 out of 10

[@Doc_McStuffins]

This is James Baldwin? Wow. I didn't know he wrote about the Greeks. I want to listen now, not sleep. He was a beautiful writer, speaker, and person. He spoke not only for a generation, but his words remain true even today. Listening to this story, I can see why he wrote it. Happiness. Equality. Safety. Eased burdens and a golden age come to an end. Ugh! Sleep!

[@Raheem0177]

The frame slowly rises and ends up at only the night sky. Love the attention to detail

It’s like Optimus Prime sending me to sleep

[@nw133]

Luckily I read this next morning (after the best night sleep for years) and laughed so hard I cried!!!

Twice I’ve fallen asleep just before finding out how it ends!

[@richtofen4888]

[@napnaps7393]

I’ve been listening to this every night for 10days, I’ve just come out of a 3year relationship I can’t sleep in quietness as my mind goes into over drive. But this video is amazing I still don’t know how the story ends and I listened 09:10 and realised that I have fallen asleep before this time because I didn’t recognise the story. Thank you for this upload.

[@danielbarlow2557]

[@daisychain5894]

My 16 year relationship ended nearly 10 years ago, I wish this was around back then, I do believe there is someone for everyone, I've only had 1 relationship since then, that ended 3 years ago, to be honest, I prefer to be single 🤗

[@thomasmcmonagle]

I wish I could stay awake to hear the whole thing. I fall asleep within 7 mins.(Great thing) This is so calming. I LOVE it!❤️ The mans voice is somehow comforting to me. More so then a women’s voice. Maybe its because he talks in a quite voice. This is my 3rd night listening. Sweet dreams everyone!😊

[@gregf938]

Your gay

[@koolaidlover1755]

When I was younger me and my cousin would sleepover at my grandparents house I remember them throwing the soft sheet over us and reading us our favorite book and then setting it down on the little table next to us dimming the lights and me drifting off into the soft bed

[@robertserpe9707]

I LOVE IT

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Such a lovely story-- and nice to make this accessible to all for free.

[@braydonrhoads1278]

I have not made it to the end and for all I know it ends up with Batman being brainwashed by Caillou to work at Jimmy John’s

[@malevolence8243]

Thank you for this ♥️

[@kellysawatzky8571]

This helps my kid sleep soo well... but I wish calm would put out more of Alan Skalar...

[@belladappledachshund432]

Thank you soo much . I listen to this story every night and sleep like a baby .

[@abrahemsamander3967]

I fell asleep around the point of pronetheus’s punishment. It was relaxing, but also engaging. I loved it!

[@Amblin80s]

Came here to sleep, ended up being reminded of all my faults and sins, then reminded of my humanity and goodness, then reminded of the evils of corporate greed, then reminded of my social anxiety and how much of life I miss when I’m afraid, then reminded of all the things I love, all the things I can learn... And the video is still going. I am tired but also wide awake. Thank you for this video. I’m looking forward to listening to it again as many times as possible!

[@serenity5247]

This has me drifting off to sleep in minutes

[@beautifulbritni21]

I won't lie I get very sad at night, but these stories quiet my mind and send me off to sleep I've never heard the end of any story by calm.

[@heatheryingling3667]

Yes!! Finally sleep🌛story that is we'll written AND narrated! More PLEASE! Thanks so much.

[@Vitali_Osandor]

Falling asleep on a strong, deep, pleasant and reassuring male voice like this is something special, it's the best.

[@angelablacksmith9653]

Hi. Watch this relaxing video too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX23eqhoeL2nqdk

I Love this so much, please make more and possibly longer videos if you can. These are very enjoyable to listen too and calm my anxiety.

[@davidlape4943]

Thank you for sharing this. Love your channel. Really helps my anxiety. Blessings.❤️

[@ToyaWilliams]

What a voice...

[@mycatsheenacashappid4240]

I really enjoy these bedtime stories.

[@niviaflorentina8406]

The heck, why i never hear about thiss channel? This is like super goodd like it helps me sleep right away!

[@ranibeti6393]

The voice in here sounds great, but it makes me more alert than sleepy. I was more dizzy before starting it. Now I'm wide awake. :/

[@jannikhs]

This is so delightful in every way. Love the story and I’ve fallen asleep to it so many times

[@vosong1004]

The story is too interesting to sleep. Now I wish I wasn't curious like Pandora so I can take a rest. :((

[@keziahokanga3589]

HEEELP!!!! I, like Pandora, was curious to hear what happens past the intro - the names of the gods - as I haven't managed to make it past those so far! Which is EXCELLENT! Btw, as ordinarily I am a raging insomniac, but Alan Sklar had me sleeping and well rested for a week; YAY! I digress..... This morning, I couldn't stand not knowing what happened after the intro, so I listened to the full 32mins, and now I NEEEEEEED to know what happens after Hercules sets Prometheus free!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱

[@nostalgic9263]

Hercules goes on to finish his 10/12 trials, where he became a god for his suffering and hardship. Prometheus's story is harder to piece together because the play that explains it has been mostly lost and fragmented and unless your fluent in latin or greek, you probably cant read the whole thing. One theory on this play however, holds that Prometheus is reconciled with Zeus after revealing to Zeus the prophecy of Thetis' child becoming greater than Zeus himself. As well, as after he was freed he was told to crown himself with a wreath made from willow which is why we have wreaths, also we started wearing rings in honor of Prometheus. Some say that Prometheus joined his brother on Caucasus to wait for an opportunity to help man and usher in a second golden age. Hope that cured your curiosity!

[@kaiemer6451]

My favorite sleep story, I listen to it a lot.

[@AStarFall]

[@serenity5247]

I loooveee this it is an amazing story

[@astrid5366]

I've been using this to get to sleep EVERY NIGHT WITHOUT FAIL for a few months and I still haven't gotten past the part where he's introducing everyone, like, for all I know it's just a half hour of listing names

[@kayleethacker1085]

astrid!! Me too! I play this and I’ve never made it to the end of the story. And I love it. 🤣

[@JoshDiaz87]

Beautiful narration!

[@jiml]

i just love this story and mythology in general i believe we need folklore because we cant accept the fact that its just us the human race on this big blue marble so we look toward the stars in search of alien life

[@BlackLadyRockz]

gawt, last night, I just managed to listen for like 5 minutes but tonight, I wanted to sleep but felt like listening to the story out of curiosity since I like these kind of stories. I was suddenly having a panic attack and I kept listening to the story to calm myself.

[@neerajbhutta8477]

I have listening to this story forever still only know bits and pieces.

[@findingfire]

[@perhapsshellliveafterall]

I had to start this half way through the other night just to find out what happened because I could never make it there without falling asleep 🤣 I'm glad I did, its a great story 😊

[@olikane530]

Leah R exactly! Same here its so effing exciting lol idk how is this a sleep story. It’s definitely good but nt for sleeping :’D

[@Wilsonrdcoc]

Its was also a false doctrine religion that thousands believed was true. So sad.

[@atakan7454]

Amazing same happen how did you feel like ?

[@Texasmade74]

Fun fact:The ancient Greek religion has been reconstructed and reestablished in Greece as well as the USA and South America.Google the organizations called the YSEE,Labrys,or Hellenion and yes they are legitimate religions not role playing or nationalism

[@juandiegoperezumbarila529]

I expected more from the app, I'm not gonna say it's dissapointing but, I really hoped an audioreading app, just like in the announcements (ads). I just don't know if buying a suscription because I haven't seen any audio with text, I hoped to learn languages with this app in a very powerful way.

[@a.t.strock2960]

The mountain where they lived is known today as Mount Hermon.

i might have found this relaxing if he didn't vacillate between the Greek and Roman names for the gods so much.
