🎵 Welcome to our story time,

Where dreams and stars align.

🎵 We whisper tales so sweet,

As moonlight hums a beat.

🎵 So close your eyes and drift along,

The night is soft, the world’s a song.

With Mom and Alex side by side—

Let’s float into the night. 🌙✨

Hello, everyone, my name is Alex. Today’s story is the sleeping beauty who couldn’t sleep.

🎧 Sleeping Beauty… Who Couldn’t Sleep

Once upon a time, in a perfectly peaceful kingdom, there lived a princess who… couldn’t sleep.

Not even a nap. Not even after lunch!

Every night she tried everything. Counting sheep? Yes. Counting pillows? Yes. Counting how many times she’d counted? Oh, definitely yes.

But still—eyes wide open.

She looked like a panda in a tiara.

Her maids whispered, “Poor thing, she’s cursed!”

Her doctor said, “Maybe no coffee after sunset.”

Her royal barista fainted on the spot.

Then one night, poof!—a sparkly fairy appeared beside her bed.

“My dear princess,” said the fairy, “you have been cursed with… overthinking.”

The princess gasped. “Overthinking?! That’s not even a real curse!”

“Oh, it is,” said the fairy. “A very modern one. A witch put it on you because you ignored her sleep hygiene advice.”

The princess rolled her eyes . “So I’ll just think forever?”

The fairy sighed. “You must find your true rest-bringer. Only someone with the gift of sleep can break the curse.”

So, the royal family sent out a notice:

“Wanted: A person who can fall asleep anywhere, anytime. Reward: True love and free breakfast forever.”

Hundreds came.

A poet sang lullabies—she clapped politely but stayed wide awake.

A chef brought warm milk—she drank ten cups and became even more alert.

A yoga teacher told her, “Just relax.” She replied, “If I knew how, I wouldn’t need you!”

Finally, one night, a young prince wandered into the castle—half asleep, messy hair, holding his blanket like a cape.

He yawned, “Is this the palace with the noisy princess? I live three castles away, and I can hear her thinking.”

The princess blinked. “Excuse me?! I’m not noisy—I’m mentally active!”

“Right,” said the prince, “and I’m emotionally exhausted.”

They sat down and started talking about why they couldn’t sleep.

She said, “My brain just won’t stop thinking!”

He said, “Mine won’t start.”

They laughed until their eyes watered.

Then they started competing to see who had the worst sleep habit.

“I once stayed up all night reorganizing my tiara collection.”

“I once fell asleep during my own birthday speech.”

The princess giggled. “Wow, you really do have the gift of sleep!”

The prince smiled dreamily. “And you have the gift of… endless talking.”

It was strange—his calm made her relax, and her energy made him smile.

After hours of talking and laughing, something magical happened.

The princess yawned… once, twice… then—finally—fell asleep.

The prince whispered, “Mission accomplished,” and promptly fell asleep too.

The next morning, the fairy returned, clapping her hands.

“Well done, my dear! The curse is broken!”

The princess stretched and said, “Really? I just thought I was… tired.”

“Exactly,” said the fairy. “That’s called relaxed.”

The kingdom cheered, bells rang, and the royal bedtime was officially set to 9 p.m.

And from that day on, the princess and the prince became the kingdom’s first official sleep coaches.

They traveled around teaching people that real magic isn’t in curses or kisses—

it’s in learning to rest, laugh, and stop worrying so much.

✨ Moral of the story:

You don’t need to be perfect.

You don’t need to think all the time.

Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do…

is close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let yourself rest.
