Sleep Story for Grown-Ups | WINTER SOIRÉE AT THE CASTLE | Winter Bedtime Story to Fall Asleep Fast

Fall asleep fast with this snowy bedtime story. You are listening to "Winter Soirée at the Castle," a sleep story for grown-ups narrated by a soothing female voice. Kind people of the world gather for an annual winter soirée at a 15th-Century castle nestled within the Carpathian Mountains and atop a frozen river. After a costumer fits you in elegant wintry attire you enjoy an afternoon of leisure in your palace suite. Feeling the best you ever have, you attend the winter ball, full of surprises that cater to your whims and fancies. You return to your suite, floating on a cloud of hope and jubilance, and fall asleep to the sounds of a crackling fire as a snowstorm turns the landscape into a winter wonderland. It's time to dream away.

Dear Michelle, I know you're very very busy in this Holiday season... I just have to ask, do you have any idea when you might begin your new script on mental health/grief for people suffering/in pain from the loss/separation from their grandchildren? If you would like to be added to a wonderful private Facebook support group for research purposes, I will add you. Just email you and we can work it out if you like.

[@sheree53]

Michelle, I love this one. It's all about a castle in the middle of a snow storm in a time that seems far away from now were life was more peaceful and yet so regal. I would love to go back to that time just for one night. there is nothing better to help me sleep, then a snowstorm, a castle, and how you describe all the decorations and the fabrics. This one is a real winner for me.

[@bobcatpeterson]

Hi, Michelle I listen to your videos and stories to reduce my anxiety. I have schizophrenia and my doctor suggested your videos. Of course, I follow all medical advice with medications, but your videos are good for anxiety and insomnia Gary Rochester NY USA.

[@cynthiamathein9983]

Kindness is the light that glows through the darkest moments to warm the coldest nights. Be as kind to yourself as you are to others and keep shining. Moved me to tears. I will carry it with me always.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

So true... keep spreading that kindness. I will always hold out for the idea of a world where kindness continues to shine and grow.

[@carrowinabox]

you're one of the reasons I look forward to Sunday nights, thank you Michelle ❤️

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Thank you, Gareth-- it means so much. I remember as a school child how much I dreaded Sunday nights and what is now labeled the "Sunday scaries." Thinking about that is why I chose Sunday to be my release day years ago.

[@PrettyNPink20]

I've never heard a voice like yours, so very relaxing ❤I fall asleep before I get through the story and have come back to it.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Thank you, Tonja-- I hope you enjoy what you hear with each listen! Sweet dreams!

[@rubylawter-keggan1495]

Same there! Her voice is absolutely PERFECT for bedtime stories/ meditations! These videos helped me sleep almost every night through my pregnancy. My daughter always falls back to sleep when I play it for her too ❤

[@agoodlittlewitch]

My 6th time starting this! I WILL HEAR THE WHOLE THING! …one night.

[@1TalldrinkH2O]

It's very special that there were people who seached the Earth for deserving people to attend this party and we were chosen. It was a beautiful party 🙂😌😴💤

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I can't ever miss a chance to honor those who are kind and this was a small way I could. Sweet dreams!

[@ninaruiz9952]

Thank you so much for your beautiful stories.. you truly make a difference in the world.. so many nights I’ve struggled with anxiety/insomnia.. since I found your stories a little over a year ago I have slept so much better. I truly want to say thank you for what you do ❤

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I'm so grateful that my work has helped-- for me one of the greatest gifts anyone can give is sleep. I hope you continue to dream away and tend to yourself and sleep better, Nina!

[@profesorakarenv]

Great story! It was perfect for settling in for a Sunday afternoon nap. Of course, I had to listen later to hear the ending. Thank you, Michelle!

[@MichellesSanctuary]

It's the best time of year for those Sunday afternoon naps. Thank you (as always), Karen!

Since I never could afford to go to a place like this. It looks at me with love in his eyes and so happens to live nea. r me. I can't imagine my kindness which I have tried to do all my life. You actually get a reward for it.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

In this sanctuary, kindness gets rewarded all the time! You are a kind soul and I hope you continue to enjoy these stories. So much of our lives is spent sleeping and in our minds, we deserve to fill that time with beautiful images and experiences. 🥰

Thanks!

[@MidnightWinterWolf]

Absolutely magical story! Can't wait to snuggle up with my cat and listen to this one tonight in bed!

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I'm so glad you think so! Hope you both enjoyed it!

[@larrymarcus3176]

Thanks for the holiday. Sorry if I stepped on your toes. When I first saw a wrap around mirror as a kid I thought I could see into infinity. Lovely party

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Luckily the glass slippers protected my toes. I love the thoughts of a child. Sweet dreams!

[@larrymarcus3176]

Now you did it! I have an ear worm of bipotty bopity boo. This explains the pumpkin and mice I saw scurrying down the steps of the castle and the glass slipper I fell on I was going to call an injury attorney. ❤

[@skfhdsjknldgfv]

I'd love a cozy sleeper train story.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I definitely am going to create one soon! Thanks, Shannon!

[@sheree53]

What could be better than a castle a snowy night a beautiful soirée beautiful ballgowns all in Crystal blue and icy white I wish I could be transposed to that time just for a little while. I am a terrible sleeper, but your stories really help. Thank you.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Couldn't agree more! I'm so glad that you came along for this adventure and I too wish we could all be there. Alas, we can in our dreams. Hope this helps you sleep better whenever you need it!

[@lyndabrennan4560]

amazing, this is right up my street, really ill at the moment, got something called strep A, going to see my doctor tomorrow, anyway sweetie, much love 🙏💜💙💖

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Oh dear, I know that has been spreading. I hope you feel better soon! And get some sleep tonight! 💜

[@larrymarcus3176]

If you tested positive for strep throat culture after you’re on your antibiotic for three days toss your toothbrush. The bacteria can live on it and reinfect you. And take the meds till finished even if they give you side effects. Feel better

Hi Michelle thank you for the nice story I hope everything is well your way and just trying to finish up the decorating for Christmas

I hope you got all those decorations up! My apartment ended up decorated by many drawings after my niece visited. I will say it's a very eclectic holiday scene!

This is fantastic!! What a cool story! Snowy night, castles, peacefulness. I wish the story was really long and the music at end was like 5 minutes long. I just want to keep hearing about the castle sorree

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Aww, that's so nice. I imagine if I went on for too long people may be too excited to fall asleep. I always hope that when people do that their dreams take them right back to the castle or wherever they wish to go!

[@jasonsonghurst1030]

Thank you for such a detailed story and I will be looking forward to listening to this before I fall asleep

[@deenagleason1225]

Oh take me away feed me that Christmas girl like only you can do. I got some stuff to do in the morning. I cooked pastry wrapped apples with nut stuffing. I've been marinating salmon and pineapple lemon and orange. It will be spoiled with butter garlic sauce. I have brussel sprouts with a fruity garlic mixture. Little crisp French onions on top. To top it off I will make avocado peach blueberry strawberry salad mixed with yogurt and honey. My sister gave you a list of all the things not to do. And she added it was an insulting and no taking leftovers without permission. So the end of Scorpio I thought I'm going to cook so much food because I've never taken leftovers like a thief I've asked permission. But she likes to start those rumors and she finally believes them. So I will offer all this food since she's having food problems snicker snicker. It's the best I can do is a narcissistic sister. But I do mean it with love I feel sorry for her to have food paranoia on a such a wonderful sharing holiday. I hope your Christmas is so wonderful I bet it will be your friend loads of friends. Of your choosing. And you're probably decided to stay home with your family. I love you I love all you do you like a soul sister to me. I hope one day you take me on a the whole Cruise with all the sound effects take me swimming with the dolphins. Maybe I'll write the story for you and you can see what you do with it if you have an email. I used to do a lot of creative writing.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I need to get that cruise story done! I have had it on my list for some time! So happy we crossed paths in this world, Deena, and sending you love! That menu you mentioned sounds amazing! 🥰

[@sarahdetwiler2071]

At around 24 mins, did you say “their smile reminds you of someone who once dared you to F the rules”? 🤣

[@MichellesSanctuary]

🤣 I said "buck" but I imagine the sentiment is the same. Always have that friend that gets you to be your authentic self!

[@sarahdetwiler2071]

Hahah! I was questioning who you must have lost a bet to lol! But I really love this story! You outdid yourself
