Tonight’s sleep story for adults, Warm Night at the Coast, is a little escape I’ve been holding onto for a long time.If you’ve been feeling the lingering chill of spring or carrying a bit too much from the day, I invite you to leave it behind and drift with me into the golden, salt-tinged air of a Florida spring in 1987. Together, we’ll wander through a cozy camper community, slow down with the rhythm of the tides, and settle into the simple comforts of sunshine, strawberries, and the soft hush of the ocean.This story is especially close to my heart, inspired by the quiet, beautiful moments I shared with my grandparents—those in-between times where everything felt easy, warm, and safe.As always, fall asleep whenever you like, change any detail you wish, and let this be your space to rest.I’m so glad you’re here.
