About the show
Fall asleep with Henrik is a podcast for anyone who struggles to fall asleep.
The idea is simple: Henrik talks, unscripted, and the aim is for you to feel just uninterested enough to doze off – yet interested enough not to get bored and annoyed.
Hopefully you get distracted and lose track of whatever it is that keeps you awake.
Henrik Ståhl is a Swedish actor, author and playwright. Since 2018 he has hosted Somna med Henrik – Sweden's biggest sleep podcast, with around half a million listens a month. Fall asleep with Henrik is the English sister show, made in the very same spirit: calm, meandering and warmly unpredictable.
New episodes are published weekly. Since 2024, 123 episodes have been released – and every one of them is still available, right here or wherever you listen.
You don't have to follow any of it. Just let me talk somewhere in the background and see where we end up.
How to use this podcast
Get comfortable. Press play. Set the sleep timer if you like (the player here has one built in – it fades the audio out gently). Then let go. If you fall asleep in the middle of an episode, the player remembers where you were – though frankly, the beginning works just as well.
