As someone who climbs into bed and stares at social media for hours every night, this sounded like a gentler, kinder - and dare I say sexier? - way to drift off to dreamland.
Initially, I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep if Cillian Murphy's buttery voice was echoing through my bedroom. Instead of snoozing, I'd be too busy swooning.
After listening to five celebrity stories, I can say they all work like a charm to help you relax. One has even become my go-to hack for falling asleep.
