Bedtime Stories

5 films

Whether you can’t sleep at night or simply don’t want to, here’s a “Sleep Aid Playlist” I’ve carefully selected—meant to be savored slowly.

The inspiration came from my own experience: many nights, I’m exhausted yet wide awake. There are many possible reasons, but one of them is the reluctance to end the day—the quiet resistance to letting go of today. Learning to spend time with the night, to sit with it, sometimes helps us forget the mess of the daytime.

So which one is real life—the hush of the night or the chaos of the day? Maybe we don’t need the answer just yet.

These five films are best watched late at night, one quiet bite at a time. Let the stories unfold slowly… and gently guide you toward sleep.
