Trouble Sleeping? We challenge anyone to stay awake for all 24 minutes of this sleep-inducing masterpiece, Blue Gold, narrated by Stephen Fry and written by Phoebe Smith.
Stephen Fry is a national treasure in Britain, an Emmy winner, and the narrator of all 7 Harry Potter books. If you've yet to hear his soothing and distinctive voice, you're in for a treat.
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.

I listen to this every night.I’m an expert now on Lavender.
Your comment wins 😂
Honestly same,
It comes from the Latin word ‘lavare’ which means ‘to wash’. I will know this forever.
Rosalind Webber Same here.
Gald to see im not the only one im 13 and i can nevef go to sleep when its qiet and this helps so mucj
I have never heard the end of this story it’s so effective
Astonishing! 😮

If you are reading this, I hope you know you are special and capable of creating amazing things. Wish you lots of health, peace and success 💛

Last summer I took a 7 day vacation to the PNW as a direct result of this recording. I really wanted to “smell it before I even see it.” I went to 3 different lavender farms on my trip. Totally worth it.
I'm planning to go to Gordes hopefully in 2025 x
Calm, please get more audios from stephen fry, his voice soothes bruh.
It is one of life's greatest tonics.
I've been listening to Harry Potter, read by Stephen fry for bedtime for a decade. Best voice ever.
Find his pod casts
Yes please! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beaah where and how
I need this man to just follow me and narrate my life.
But not while you're driving or you'd fall asleep at the wheel!
It will start getting weird when he starts saying that you step into the shower😂😂
Morgan Freeman is already narrating our lives.
YES
LOL MARRY HIM
1 like = 1 hug for Stephen and his magnificent voice.
This comment now seems kinda sinister
@@ralphbrook5140 why?
@@granttriestman5500 I couldn't tell you tbh I don't even remember writing this😂😂
@@ralphbrook5140 because of Covid, I guess?
@@ralphbrook5140 because of covid? No hugs. None
Please consider investing in Steven fry as a resident story teller . Excellent material that is life changing for me. I am recovering from opioid addiction and this helps at night immeasurably. Thankyou. I only hope to afford subscription soon.
Kind regards to all who worked on this piece. Thankyou again.
Keep recovering bro
Hope you’re doing well.
You got this !
I know what you're going through. Stay strong!
Don’t give up!! Stay STRONG!
I wonder how the stories ends. But I’ll never get to it I fall asleep EVERYTIME
I got to the end only twice. By the end he's barely whispering.
Sanope abies
SAME
@@kruszer I think he's falling asleep himself
Same
the only ad I'll never skip
Greg The YT Subscriber I would search for videos with this as an ad until I found this video 😅
Briana Coffey I did and I finally found it but I fell asleep before I realized it
Damn straight bruh
Yeah cuz I will find myself waking up from a coma with my phone’s battery dead every time I hear this story
There was an ad? I was asleep lol
England Is Blessed For the Birth Of this man 🏴
Stephen fry has a wonderful voice. He should get a reward for it.
Yeees
Award!
Agree!!
Next to Alan Rickman, my favourite voice.
💯 I watched him in a serious debate and he sounded like this. Only added to point. He’s also very intelligent.
All I remember is "we travel to the the south of France."
Then I wake up in the morning.
Then I WOKE up. To the the?
yeah...and remember i've got to get ready for work.
Same
your joke took my sleep away. i was giggling under the sheets ...
I can literally recite the whole thing but some times I want to hear about the food!! I never make it there! He totally has me hypnotized!
TIP: When listening to this story I like to get my sleeping mask and put a few drops of lavender oil so when I breath it in the story is more real and relaxing.
Mia Alizzi that sounds amazing
I put lavender essential oil into my diffuser and play this when I go to bed.
Pro tip👍👍👍👍❤️
If ye rub it on your toes it can kill footrot fungus 😕
I wash me toes daily with a few leafs dipped in acv then get them feet dipped in there..
I have my lavender pot puree beside me :)
This app needs more Stephen Fry! Can you have him read all the stories? Some of the narrators jar me out of half asleep with the way they pronounce certain consonants. But Stephen Fry is soooo smooth! More please! Much much more!
I’m
I concur
I agree
stephen is the story teller grandpa we all deserved 🥰✨
Im curious if anyone has ever even heard the end🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂😂
Hint: skip to the end
Yes but just a few times
I haven’t lol
Nope 😂
😂
I've been listening to this for at least 6-8 months before bed and still have never heard it all the way through in order lol. It's always really amusing randomly being awake for a little more or less than usual and hearing a new bit of the story I can't recognize. Please have him do more readings, he honestly has the most relaxing voice out of all of your readers 🥰
I agree
This is my first...yes. ....But "Steven Fry's..." I just HAD to click! And at times I heard the closet not straight news reporter from V. Then I heard Melchy's simpering brown nosing tones. But my favorite was when I swore General Melchet was once again reading/ordering his men to maneuver in a guarantee toetag get out of war card.
By far my favourite 😍 wish there was more stories by Stephen Fry, no one has a calming voice like him 💜
Sir David Attenborough?
Agreed!
*Last time I was this relaxed I was still in the womb..* 😴😴😴🙏
He could read the health and safety guide to London's Victorian sewage system and I'd fall asleep
The victorians sewage didn't have a health and safety guide. They used child labour for for fuck sake. But yes his voice is dreamy
im not certain but i think he has
no shit
david janson Wow that’s a vicious comment but yet a poignant pun. Dark comedy always gives me few laughs.
@@tomasbarrett7694 reading out the cause of death of the little ones who picked through our turds and retrieved t.b, syphilis, coup, and diamonds, would still put me to sleep....
@@davidjanson9900 be certain.. and drift away my laddy
He could read the terms and conditions to all the apple products and I would fall into a coma
Edit: 5k not bad
Chycken Nuggets 😂
I would really love for more calm sleep stories read by him...this is literally the only one I listen to because it’s Stephen Fry. 👍😴💤
Hahahahahahahahahaha
Lmaoo
lol
I just played this for my children with a scent of lavender oil in the air & they knocked out quick! 💜💜💜
You sure the lavender oil isn’t poisonous?
@@SayYourSomething lol
It was the best moment of my life
👨🔬😕😞😖😟😤🤯😤😤😤😤😤
This is it. This is the best thing I've heard in my 23 years of life.
This helps me sleep a lot now. I'm afraid of being in the dark alone sometimes and this really helped me sleep and not think about it so much.
What scares you about the dark? I remember being a kid sleeping in the same room as mother and siblings. That was soothing. Can you sleep in a room with family?
I don't like being alone in the dark either and it has nothing to do with being scared it's only in my own house. I will go outside in the dark by myself with just a small flash light pointed at the ground so I don't trip on anything and we live at the edge of the woods.
Kristi Parr me neither! I tell my family I'm notscared I just don't like it. I like being able to see things lol
@@anona3097 are you female?
Come on now. That's something we say when we are 7 years old.
Fall asleep within minutes every time. No idea how this ends. Zombies, perhaps?
on theceiling what the fuck..
Even if you was joking, I’ve just woken up from a dream that we was running from zombies..
Me too lol. I'll never finish it
me too
😂😂😂🧟♀️🧟♂️
Hahahahahaha
Ive listened to this at least 40+ times. Has truly saved me during some anxious nights💕
I'm just about to try him for the first time. Fingers crossed 🤞.
Last July I’ve been to senanque monastery for the silent retreat during lavander bloom and also brought home some “blue gold” honey and lavander oil from the monks. Listening to this story while being at this exact place was magical, I recommend it to all lavander lovers 💙
Please tell me how you planned it!?! Any tips?
I just need Stephen Fry to sit in my bedroom and talk about absolutely anything. The man has an amazing voice.
To all of you who lost their job, failed exam, facing a hard situation during this covid 19 I hope everything get sorted for all of all around the world 💓 and things might be rainy now but it wont be forever
I am immediately asleep in fragrant fields of lavender, cozily wrapped in Mr Fry's soothing, liquid hot chocolate voice.
CALM: PLeAsE, MORE Stephen Fry stories!!!
Wish i had some hot chocolate lol
I took a road trip to the monastery in Gordes just because of this sleep story! ))
How was it?
Mr. Fox delone incredible! Unfortunately I just missed the cutting of the majority of the fields, so I’d recommend you research the optimal time to go
Sure, thanks
I played this for a class of 4 year olds at nap time and it put them right to sleep. Thanks for the soothing story!
Have they woken up yet?
A man who plays Stephen Fry for 4 year olds? Good on you mate
4 year olds nap?? 😂
@@TheDope415 hahaha I just sleep all the time. If I wake it's a good day 😂
To get a 4 year old to nap is something unbelievable though lol they are bursting with energy.
Cody Bright all the kids at my works sleep most days because of how early they get their, even the preschoolers
Stephen Fry nailed this
Let’s appreciate the fact that the background is moving
Yeah!
My anxiety reliever ❤️
Rarely have I encountered a more relaxing combination like this: a story about the glorious lavender fields of Provence read in Stephen Fry's unmistakable voice. Wonderful discovery.
We need a spinoff app entirely dedicated to Stephen Fry
Absolutly yes please needed and thank you ♡♡
I agree 👏
I’m on a sugar crash 👌
If I was a woman I would marry him.

Having a hectic busy life I struggle to visualize been somewhere calm and relaxing. Until listening to Stephen Fry's soothingly voice...I'm now in France walking through a lavender field and it smells wonderful. Thank you.
Been listening to this sleep story for 4 years now. And now I am listening to it in a hotel in Sault! Thanks for bringing me here Stephen Fry! 👌🏼
Is it as wonderful as Stephen says it is? I hope your vacation was great!
This works every time. His voice is magical. I have issues with staying sleep and this helps sooo much.
This helps my so much to calm down when I’m stressed and when I have an anxiety attack 🙏
❤️❤️
Was having a terrible few days of depression and in that mode where I feel exhausted and yet don’t want to sleep. I asked my ex with similar issues for advice and he sent me a few options of these videos. I tried a couple but found Fry’s voice the most soothing. A few minutes of this was the calmest I’d felt all day.
He gives me great grandpa telling tales to his grandchildren by a fire in winter vibes, and I love it
I have no idea how he didn't put himself to sleep. I don't know what he's talking about. Somewhere in France that smells of lavender with cyclists and sunlightzzzzzzzzzzzz
I know what you mean 😂😂👌😴😴😴
Agree
😂
😂
You can
I need more Stephan Fry videos !!!
With QI clips, Harry Potter audiobook and this, Mr. Fry has been keeping me company a lot. Also, made me partial to Lavender airfreshners for some reason.
Thank you Mr. Fry.
My manifestation has come true recently, and I wish the same kind of manifestation success to the person reading this. Stay blessed y’all ✌
This is the only sleep story that has a hold over me. I come back again and again. Stephen Fry ,wow, the absolute best narrator. His voice is beautiful. ❤❤❤
More Stephen Fry videos pleaseeee I’ve heard the first 2 minutes every night 😊😂
Stephen Fry your voice is so calming 🥰🥰🌟🌟
They brought the master to read us a story
This app is amazing. Just wish the subscription was a bit cheaper
But it’s free
Aliza Herbst only partly. Downloading the app and a few features are free.
Aliza Herbst it's not that charge for almost everything and it's 10 pound a month even Netflix is cheaper
Not all subscribing for the app is expensive. 😃❤️❤️ I have the $4.99 subscription for my iPhone, it is less expensive when it is only on one of your devices, rather than on multiple devices for the same price for the app subscribers...(more expensive that way.) I hope that this information is helpful to you. Thanks for sharing this concern you have for the meditation app. 😃❤️❤️👍👍
Yeah it's way too costly.
Not fussed about the app but my Lordy Stephen fry has an amazing voice
I know right
He sounds like ma teacher when he reads a book.
HEY DOES ANYONE READ MICHEAL MORPUGO
ughhh i LOVE the slightly old and rough but quiet and calm voicesss
I need this man to sit next to me and tell me story’s every night while I go to sleep, his voice is so relaxing and sleepy and calm
Yeah. This is about to be on replay every night.
Welcome. I’ve been here 6 years solid
It's impossible to get beyond 15 minutes. Three years now and I still can't make it to the end of this story at nighttime.
Uhhh just passed it
wish that was the case for me lol
I wish there was more Stephen Fry sleep stories. Pure gold
I love lavender! I'm going to buy some lavender to make my house smell like lavender. Heck, I may even paint my walls lavender!
So glad I accidentally clicked, I've been enjoying Stephen Fry's narration skills a lot lately.
I love you Stephen Fry, you just don't know how many nights your voice has helped me get to sleep.
My 7 year old fell asleep in 5 minutes 😳. I need the full app 😍
After 2 years of faithful listening to this story . I am happy to report that last night , I reached a grand total of 9 minutes into it. Thank you Stephen!🎊🎉🎂🎈🥰
I use this vid once in a while when I can't sleep, but during this pandemic I've turned it on nearly every night to help de-stress myself. So thanks to you and Stephen!!!
This one does the job every single time. There was one time I got literally seconds away from the end & thought it wasn’t going to work this time (tho I was calm & relaxed not fretting over it), next thing I knew I was waking up 5 hours later
Almost skipped this ad, then I heard "Stephen Fry". I thought whatever he has to say must be important, and it turned out to be.
Right? I'm a huge fan of Stephen Fry! ❤️
Me too. Brilliant in all he does.
@@CahmbrielAnn Same!
This is my favorite story i listen to this every night . Literally every night ❤❤❤❤ always having trouble sleeping but this really works for me
Stephen is my spirit animal
I use this to fall asleep every night I love his voice so much. So soothing
His voice is magical. Love love love!
More audios from Stephen Fry ♥️♥️💥✨♥️
Stephen has the perfect night time story telling voice, I fall asleep every night without fail.
Every time when I am nervous or having million thoughts that wouldn't let me fall asleep .. i play this one in particular.. his deep voice calms me and helps me go to sleep in no time 👍
I just want to say that the............
💤 💤 💤 😴 😴 😴
This really helped now I don’t have to struggle to go to bed then notice it’s the morning :-;
for all i know, this could just be stephen fry reading for a few minutes and then silence for the rest of the video. never stayed awake long enough to know
I wish calm would have lots and lots of Stephens fry’s story’s because his voice is so calming and relaxing that every time I listen to the story (the only story I listen to) I fall asleep 5 mins into the story his voice is so nice
I actually finished this, and the guy starts to slow down and whisper in the end and finally everything gets silent. Wow I slept for almost an hour after this. Of course in the afternoon.
'the guy' x
2023 i still couldn’t find anything more relaxing than this video to go sleep since 4 years
No matter how hectic the day has been, these stories always provide a serene ending. Wishing everyone a peaceful night's sleep! 🌠🌙
got this ad before a video and I legit fell asleep
I cannot sleep easily at night. Try some ways like listening sleeping mucis but i cant, then hearing this guy tell a bed time story, i fall asleep finally .. God bless
This is a story, stories are the sacrament of humanity. They connect us to our most ancient ancestors, and what connects us together today. Your stories are insanely important! Don't ever think they aren't worth telling!
I love his voice. Reminds me of my grandfather ❤
I usually use the sounds of being on a train on mysleep app to help me get to sleep, as my mind likes to keep chattering away, but nights when even that isnt working I use this story. Everytime Stephen says "those deep lines in your furrowed brow slowly unfurl as you gently begin to relax..." I actually do, and it's magical. Thank you Stephen!
This story works just fine if you're suffering insomnia. Just listen and focus your mind. Great story Stephen!
Stephen Fry could put an entire class to sleep during a lecture; not because it’s boring, but because his voice is so Soothing!
I ended up deleting the calm app because there just wasn’t enough of these with his voice.
My kids ask every night if they can bimble along the lanes with Stephen Fry at bedtime.
Like he’s reading a vacation pamphlet for some random “lavender farm B&B.”
I would listen to him reading it even then...
I fall asleep every night listening to you
The tranquillity produced by listening to this story is sublime.
The state of relaxation is unsurpassed.
More Stephen Fry, please...
First time I felt thankful for having an ad before a video
Stephen fry: you'll smell it before you even see it
Me: 😴😴
😂👏
That’s what she said?
And then something something I never make it to the end🤣
I cant thank you enough for this video!!! 🙏🙏🥺🥺 this is my anxiety relief!!
Stephen Fry’s voice is so soothing and nice but I could not fall asleep for anything last night. I couldn’t stop thinking about how I wasn’t smelling lavender. Then I remembered I was out of lavender essential oil so I couldn’t put any on if I wanted to. Then I spent the rest of the time thinking about wether or not it was worth it to get up really quick and write “lavender” on my grocery list or if I would be able to remember in the morning. Then before I knew it, it was over.
I’ve been listening to this for a week now and still have no idea how it ends. I woke up and stirred a little and it seemed like he sensed it! Lol he started saying what seemed like random soft words like “fish, dish, wish, sandwishhh” and knocked me right back out! Lol I’ll get to the end of this someday.
This makes my baby fall asleep lol has done since he was a newborn his 6 months now 👀works wonders on babies 🤩
Literally 1 % people who are reading......May you parents live happily healthily for more then 💯 years😇❤️💙❤️🙏😇
More audio from Stephen Fry please ❤🥰
