The Clockmaker's House in the First Snow: A Gentle Sleep Story

Show by The Sleepy Innkeeper

Tonight, we'll walk down a snowy lane in the Norwegian village of Eskvik to a blue house by the lake, where an old clockmaker is winding his clocks and two ducks are waiting at the water's edge.Anders has looked after the clocks of Eskvik for forty-four years. On the morning of the first snow he gives his nine clocks their turns, carries a tin of oats down to Torsten and Solveig, the two ducks who chose his bit of shore in October, and sits on the bench while the lake takes the snow without a sound. His neighbour Astrid comes down with her coffee, and later he walks up to the school, where she's waiting with the key, to mend a stopped clock. Nothing much happens. The snow lies, the clocks tick, and nobody has to say very much.This is a slow, gentle sleep story about quiet company, read in a calm, deep voice. The story and the sleep affirmations last about 42 minutes, and soft winter music carries on to the end. Around 5 minutes in, the snowy lakeshore gives way to a starry sky, and at 11 minutes the screen fades to black, so the room stays dark while you sleep.If this story helped you rest, The Sleepy Innkeeper has more quiet places to fall asleep in the playlist, and subscribing means the next one will find you.#sleepstory #bedtimestory #clockmaker #snow #ducks
