I'm so glad you're here. Welcome!

I'm Fran Harrall, and off and on I've had trouble sleeping for as long as I can remember. In the last few years, I'd often be scrolling on my phone well into the early hours, then wondering why I felt like crap the next day!Only when I discovered gently narrated audiobooks as part of my sleep routine (me and my husband listen to something every night together) did I realise how badly I needed to be guided to sleep.That's what inspired Folded Corners.My hope is that, with my soothing, even, and gentle narration, coupled with a gentle story each episode, I can help guide you to sleep when you just can't seem to find it.Because we really don't realise how much we need sleep until we can't get enough of it.Everything you listen to is recorded, edited, and organised by me, one lady, in my little nook under the stairs! I post versions of these stories, plus meditations and visualisations over on Insight Timer, too.Sweet dreams!
