Winter
Snow falls slowly over the hill.
FaithLabz Sleep · free Christian sleep app
Somebody kept the lamp on for you.
Scripture, prayer and seven little friends who walk you to sleep. Every night is read in my voice. It's free, and nobody's going to sell you anything at bedtime.
"The narration uses an AI version of my voice, made from my own recordings." Adam
Picture: Olive the dove stands on a moonlit hill by a still lake. Pip the firefly flies in with a tiny candle and lights the lantern beside her. The moon is tonight's real moon.
The doorstep
What kind of night is it?
Most sleep apps give you rain sounds and a timer. I wanted somewhere you could bring your actual night. Each evening a friend meets you at the door and asks. Go ahead, pick one.
Tonight, with Ruthie
When Your Mind Won't Slow Down
A prayer for a mind that keeps returning to today's worries.
real nights from the app. Tap Begin and you're two taps from asleep.
P.S. Look outside. The moon in the app is the real moon, worked out on your phone.
Don't take my word for it
Press play. Lie back.
These are real nights from the app, with the words showing up as they're read, same as on your phone. Put your headphones in if you've got them.

With Olive
Five Quiet Minutes
Psalm 4:8Press play when you're settled.
The quiet between the words is on purpose.
Who you'll meet
Seven friends. Each one keeps a different kind of night.
The shelf
252 nights. Here are a few.
Every one rests on a passage of Scripture. Five minutes to half an hour. Search for whatever tonight is about.
Underneath any night, pick from 16 sleep sounds: rain, surf, music, soft noise and gentle tones. Mix up to three. Or turn them off and keep it to just the words.
Fall asleep fast
Some nights you just need to fall asleep.
That's Olive's job. Eighteen short nights, five to fifteen minutes. Fewer words, more quiet. No counting required. Shep does that part.
Picture: Shep the lamb watches three sheep leap one by one over a little hurdle across the starry sky. The last one curls up asleep.
With Selah
The whole Bible, read aloud.
Ask Selah for a chapter, or let her keep going until you're asleep. The words stay on screen as I read. It's the Berean Standard Bible, all 66 books.
Psalm 23
"The narration uses an AI version of my voice, made from my own recordings." Adam

Autumn
Leaves drift down over the hill.

A note from me
For years I worked nights on a switchboard, a lot of them alone. I know how loud a quiet room can get.
My dad raised my sister and me. He had this way of putting a hand on my head, or on my back, and saying, "I'm here. I got you." I do the same thing with my kids now.
That's what I hope this app feels like. Somebody's there. Somebody kept the lamp on. And the words you fall asleep to are true.
It's free because people give. No ads. Nothing to sell you at bedtime. Just rest.
Onward, and God bless you.
