**Miles:** Hey everyone, welcome back to your personalized podcast from BeFreed-I'm Miles, and honestly, I'm already feeling more relaxed just thinking about tonight's topic.
**Blythe:** And I'm Blythe! Miles, I have to say, when I saw we were diving into the world of sleep podcasts and bedtime stories, I got genuinely excited. Like, who knew there was actual science behind why some of us turn into zombies scrolling memes at 2 AM instead of, you know, sleeping?
**Miles:** Right? And the fact that there's this whole universe of podcasts literally designed to put people to sleep-with millions of listeners-tells me we're definitely not alone in this struggle.
