Free Bedtime Stories for Adults

Experience The Other World On Us

Otherworld Tales provides a curated library of free bedtime stories for adults designed to help you disconnect from the waking world.

Unlike white noise apps or generic meditation tracks, our narratives rely on "cognitive disengagement." By following a low-stakes story set in myth or history, your brain switches out of "problem-solving mode" (active beta waves) and into a state of visualization (alpha/theta waves) conducive to sleep.

Narrative Style

Slow-paced storytelling focusing on atmosphere, lore, and world-building rather than stimulating plot twists.

Audio Design

Enhanced with subtle, high-fidelity ambient soundscapes (rain, wind, fire) to mask environmental noise.

All stories listed on this page are free to stream directly in your browser. For offline listening, background play, and interactive "Worlds," please try our mobile app which will be coming soon.
