What Is WikiSleep?
From being read to as children to the different stories we fall into as adults, there’s something soothing and comforting about listening to a nice calm voice as we fall asleep.
The idea for WikiSleep was based on that. We give listeners something to help distract them from the stresses of life and aim to make it more fun than traditional sleep apps. Everything is read calmly and soothingly, paced perfectly to allow you to slip into dreamland. With over 200 episodes and counting, there’s something for everyone.
WikiSleep stories range from tales of adventure to historic events, biographies of iconic humans from history and even some breathing techniques, meditations and more.
Who is Adrien?
Adrien is a friendly Canadian guy who dealt with sleep challenges for years—which he was (mostly) able to overcome through a series of steps that included a lot of hot baths, a bit of exercise and some really great stories. He’s passionate about sleep and helping others sleep better.
A writer and content producer by trade, Adrien does pretty much everything for WikiSleep, except when he has help from some great developers and narrators.

Sure does. You can set it to play as long as you like and when it’s time to turn off, it will fade out rather than stopping abruptly. Timer can be found on each episode card or in settings.

There are! Wikisleep has a growing list of contributors and I am working hard to create more content in different voices and languages.

That would be Adrien (me). It’s one of my favourite things about making WikiSleep.

The quick answer is that WikiSleep is a one-person operation, created and run by me (Adrien). I’m doing my best to boot-strap the company in order to avoid making it more costly for users.

Most people are surprised at how effective the diversion principle is, believing at first that the stories will keep them awake. But soon, they discover how quickly they doze off lost in story. Remember: our bodies want us to sleep. It’s our brains that often keep us awake.

Honestly, I needed something to help myself sleep and had been listening to podcasts—but then podcasts got infiltrated with ads. As a content producer, it was easy for me to create something I need and so voila… Wikisleep.

Absolutely! While I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to produce an episode of your suggestion, I am certainly open to ideas. Feel free to contact me anytime.
