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
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
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!
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 💛

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
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 have never heard the end of this story it’s so effective
Astonishing! 😮
Same
I don't even get halfway through it. Ever.
Same 😂
I’m suffering from PTSD and I’ve found this so helpful so thank you
England Is Blessed For the Birth Of this man 🏴
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
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
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!
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
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
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 😂
😂
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
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 :)
stephen is the story teller grandpa we all deserved 🥰✨
*Last time I was this relaxed I was still in the womb..* 😴😴😴🙏
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.
This is it. This is the best thing I've heard in my 23 years of life.
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
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.
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 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
👨🔬😕😞😖😟😤🤯😤😤😤😤😤
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?
By far my favourite 😍 wish there was more stories by Stephen Fry, no one has a calming voice like him 💜
Sir David Attenborough?
Agreed!
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.
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
Let’s appreciate the fact that the background is moving
Yeah!
I just need Stephen Fry to sit in my bedroom and talk about absolutely anything. The man has an amazing voice.
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
My anxiety reliever ❤️
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.
Stephen Fry nailed this
This helps my so much to calm down when I’m stressed and when I have an anxiety attack 🙏
❤️❤️
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!
My manifestation has come true recently, and I wish the same kind of manifestation success to the person reading this. Stay blessed y’all ✌
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
He gives me great grandpa telling tales to his grandchildren by a fire in winter vibes, and I love it
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.
I need more Stephan Fry videos !!!
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.
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.
ughhh i LOVE the slightly old and rough but quiet and calm voicesss
No matter how hectic the day has been, these stories always provide a serene ending. Wishing everyone a peaceful night's sleep! 🌠🌙
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
More Stephen Fry videos pleaseeee I’ve heard the first 2 minutes every night 😊😂
Stephen Fry your voice is so calming 🥰🥰🌟🌟
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
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.
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. ❤❤❤
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
More Stephen Fry, please...
This is my favorite story i listen to this every night . Literally every night ❤❤❤❤ always having trouble sleeping but this really works for me
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.

I wish there was more Stephen Fry sleep stories. Pure gold
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 to fall asleep every night I love his voice so much. So soothing
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
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!!!
Yeah. This is about to be on replay every night.
Welcome. I’ve been here 6 years solid
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 works every time. His voice is magical. I have issues with staying sleep and this helps sooo much.
I love his voice. Reminds me of my grandfather ❤
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.
Stephen has the perfect night time story telling voice, I fall asleep every night without fail.
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
His voice is magical. Love love love!
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 😍
Please put all the full sleep stories in here :(
I fell asleep.
That would defeat the purpose of their business lol
This story works just fine if you're suffering insomnia. Just listen and focus your mind. Great story Stephen!
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
Stephen is my spirit animal
This didn't help me sleep, but it calmed my anxiety a lot, thank you so much! My anxiety drains my mental health, but this made me feel so calm. Please make more videos like this
The tranquillity produced by listening to this story is sublime.
The state of relaxation is unsurpassed.
2023 i still couldn’t find anything more relaxing than this video to go sleep since 4 years
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’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.
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!
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.
Could really do with a dark screen version of this.
If you are on a laptop, turn brightness all the way down!! :D
I flip my phone over
Upgrade your UA-cam then lock your phone 🤗
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
This really helped now I don’t have to struggle to go to bed then notice it’s the morning :-;
used to listen to this every night for about two years. eventually i moved on but recently i had bad sleep and thought this would help. fell asleep so fast the first time back, it’s been really reassuring knowing it sends me to sleep
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 makes my baby fall asleep lol has done since he was a newborn his 6 months now 👀works wonders on babies 🤩
His voice and sounds feels like the grandfather i never had... So soothing
I cant thank you enough for this video!!! 🙏🙏🥺🥺 this is my anxiety relief!!
If hospitals ran out of anaesthetic, patients awaiting major surgery would be played Stephen Fry reading Harpic Toilet Cleaner ingredients and they would drift serenely away.
This comment is underrated ❤️😂❤️😂
I got an ad for this and it honestly made me sad because my grandfather used owned a beautiful house in Provènce on the country side that was really special to my childhood
I grew up in a cardboard box in Biloxi.
I don’t think there’s an accent on the e. I think it’s just Provence. It would make no sense to put either a grave or acute accent on as it couldn’t affect the pronunciation. - ence can only be pronounced one way.
@@MrFrampo56 provence to rhyme with beyonce
More audios from Stephen Fry ♥️♥️💥✨♥️
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.
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🤣
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 and before the end. However stressed I’m feeling, as soon as Stephen Fry starts to talk, I fall asleep. I don’t know the whole story. I don’t need to. This is the best sleep aid I’ve ever listened to. If you have difficulty getting to sleep, please try this. I used to be awake for hours. Now if I wake up in the night I just play this again and I’m asleep.
I find it fascinating that Mr Fry can do this frankly rubbshly written story or even say, washing machine instructions, and his soothing voice is perfect, when he can also read Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes and make them thrilling! A master of voice manipulation.
