The Clockmaker Who Forgot Time, Night 11 | A Sleep Story to Help You Fall Asleep

A calm bedtime story for when you wake in the night and can't get back to sleep, set in a little clock shop above the harbour. Señor Tiempo, the village clockmaker, believes he has forgotten his craft: his clocks no longer agree, and one small brass clock stops every afternoon at a quarter past three. Prince Freddie sits beside the workbench and helps him hear what the clocks are really saying. A slow, warm story about letting time move however it needs to tonight.

Prince Freddie is a small dog in a flat gold crown who lives in a sleepy village on the Spanish coast, where the days are warm, the sea is always close, and nothing is ever in a hurry. These are unhurried sleep stories, written to quiet an anxious mind and soften the end of the day. You are not meant to reach the end.

No ads, ever. How to listen: lie down, dim the light, and let the words do the walking. If you drift off before the last line, the story has done its job.

If Freddie has helped you sleep, a rating or a review on Apple Podcasts helps someone else find him.

If this one ends before you do, there is a longer telling. The Settle, Night 11, is the same story told twice, slower the second time, 29 minutes over a steady sea, with an ending you are not meant to hear. Ad-free, and the first seven nights are free. settle.princefreddie.com

Every story is written by the Prince Freddie studio and read by a calm synthetic voice.

Press play, and let the day settle.
