Finding it hard to drop off lately?

If you’ve been lying awake at night or tossing and turning when you should be sleeping, now you can drift off to a lovely Irish bedtime story, read to you by Cork’s own Cillian Murphy.

The Peaky Blinder’s star joins Hollywood names including Matthew McConaughey, Harry Styles and Nick Offerman to lend his voice to a 31-minute track on the meditation app Calm.

Designed to help users to manage stress, sleep better “and live a happier, healthier life”, Calm offers hundreds of hours of original audio content in six languages, supporting users in more than 190 countries.

Now fans worldwide have been raving about the sedative effects of Murphy’s Cork accent in the Calm Sleep Story ‘Crossing Ireland By Train’ in which he whisks listeners away “on a magical train trip across the sweeping landscapes of Ireland.”

“He gives a flawless yet beautiful narration. So relaxing and yet at the same time so beautiful and soothing,” said Sarah Green.

“What a beautiful voice.” said fan Anne Oldenhuis. “Next evening tried very hard to stay awake to hear the story until the end. Failed again.”
