Cupid and Psyche - a beautiful MYTH turned into a Sleep Story

For over a year now, I've been having trouble sleeping at night. Doing some research online I found out this outstanding website (also a mobile app) called CALM which not only has helped me sleep much better every night but also it has instilled in me a new found love for meditation, relaxation and breathing techniques to ease my anxiety levels at times.

There is a section in this website/app designed exclusively for SLEEP STORIES. They go from well-known fairy tales, to travel stories and even myths all of which are adapted to make anyone go to sleep. It has worked WONDERS for me ever since I started listening to these.

Such is my fascination with them that I've already listened to all of them more than once and I can now share with you, on a regular basis, some of my favourites:

Today's favourite is a Greek MYTH called "Cupid and Psyche" written by Apuleius in his book "The Golden Ass". Being five pages long, it would be very long for a single blog post so I share the PDF which you can easily read online, download or even print.

I hope you like it as much as I do. Pretty soon, I'll be sharing some other favourite sleep stories from this fantastic website.

Give it a try and let me know your thoughts in the comments!

See you soon!

Stay safe :)
