In this highly requested rerun of the most listened-to episode of Fall Asleep with Henrik, "BOY" our host Henrik Ståhl takes us on a deeply personal and introspective journey through his thoughts on aging, identity, and the passage of time.


As Henrik grapples with approaching his 49th birthday, he reflects on his past, his career in Swedish children's television, and his struggles with alcohol. With raw honesty, he shares his fears about cognitive decline and his desire to make the most of the time he has left.


Throughout the episode, Henrik explores the concept of personal universes, pondering what makes each of us unique despite our biological similarities. He touches on themes of regret, missed opportunities, and the challenge of maintaining curiosity and openness as we age.


In true Fall Asleep with Henrik fashion, the conversation meanders through various topics, including:
