Welcome to the world of "Somna" - a Swedish word that means "fall asleep." But it's not just any ordinary word; it's a word that has become synonymous with a unique experience that only the Scandinavians have come to know.
"Somna med Henrik," is a podcast that has helped hundreds of thousands of people in Scandinavia to fall asleep since 2018. Now, this experience is available to the English-speaking world in the form of "Fall Asleep with Henrik."
Fall Asleep with Henrik is a podcast that is specifically designed to help people fall asleep. Unlike traditional relaxation or meditation podcasts, it does not use visualization techniques or deep breathing exercises to help you relax. Instead, it features the host, Henrik, who is an ordinary person from Sweden, talking about random things in an improvised and often illogical manner.
The podcast's main goal is to provide a distraction for listeners who are trying to fall asleep, be creative, or do boring repetitive tasks. The content is not meant to be actively listened to, and listeners are encouraged to let the host's voice become their jumbled thoughts for a while, without worrying about paying too much attention to the words.
The podcast's moral, if it has one, is to remind listeners that life is unpredictable and often illogical, but that's okay. The host's relaxed and humorous tone, combined with his improvised and often nonsensical content, is meant to create a comforting and carefree atmosphere that helps listeners unwind and drift off to sleep.
The English version of "Fall Asleep with Henrik" is a transcribed version of the Swedish podcast, which is entirely improvised. The host, Henrik, does not write any scripts or cut anything out of the episodes after recording. The goal is to keep the improvised feeling of the original version intact in the English version.
In the English version, Henrik very rarely corrects mistranslations or illogical passages, in order to maintain the authenticity of the Swedish version. This means that listeners can expect a similar level of improvisation and randomness in each English episode.
