Come and Get Me, Sleep

Fall asleep with Henrik ·

2025/10/27

Hi, Sleepy. Tonight I begin with a black t-shirt and a forest that insists it’s a ballroom. We wade into the dark pond of starting—awkward at first, then quietly inevitable. I whisper little unimportant truths (the best kind), invent hidden worlds on top of air-ducts, and point out a troll behind a birch just to keep the ordinary honest. We talk about fear—cellar-door fear—and the moment you slam it and lie down anyway. We compare the “mess” of a teenage room with the sacred clutter of the forest

Koko, the Guide, and the Lavender Shawl

Fall asleep with Henrik ·

2025/10/20

A sun-splashed motorway, The Killers on repeat, one hand on the wheel and one small tear of relief—then we tumble, softly, into an alternate city where poems buy blankets and conversation pays for lunch. Your guide hums by your ear, pigeons approve this silence, and a blue gate dissolves into fog while we practice the art of lane-changing without panic. Nothing to fix, only to notice. Let go, drift off to sleep, and let this imaginative, introspective ramble carry you toward a peaceful night,

Stockholm at 11:35

Fall asleep with Henrik ·

2025/10/13

Hi, Sleepy. Tonight I record with a camera staring back and a desk lamp pretending to be the sun. We wander from “ugly days” and nameless feelings to a pocket-list of fears (being unloved, losing the thread) and a shy wish for an embrace that actually lands. Stockholm drifts by in autumn colors; Antarctica glitters at the horizon; the anger engine sputters and we swap it for aim. It’s an introspective, slightly absurd ramble designed to help you drift off to sleep—soft edges, loose threads, and an

A Small Pause Where Nothing Must Happen

Fall asleep with Henrik ·

2025/10/06

Hi, Sleepy. Tonight we practice the tender art of doing nothing without giving up. We float between two kinds of inaction — the gentle pause that lets you drift off to sleep, and the frozen moment where choice feels like a tiny, sharp point. From there we wander: gratitude letters from Sydney to Naples, the strange party where everyone talks about you and you try not to wave, and a ghost-story from drama school about a fearsome mime-teacher who once broke me and later cried at my opera. Hierarchies,

Town Called Rest at the Edge of Dust

Fall asleep with Henrik ·

2025/09/29

Hi, Sleepy. Tonight I’m the hat that won’t come off and the sigh that finally settles. We wander from my daughter’s Friday-breath of relief to a prairie of 900 million cows, a horse named Barbara who can sing the herd into neat little lines, and the dizzy kindness of work—the kind that bends backs and hearts and still asks for more. We listen for sand that sings, tip our hat to saints with thorny ideas, and let the town called Rest appear just when the dust tastes like old starlight between our

Gilded Core, Quiet River

Fall asleep with Henrik ·

2025/09/22

Hi, Sleepy. Tonight we dig where we stand—heels in the soil, head in the constellations. From a quantum shiver under our feet to a secret cave in the mind, we wander through dream-workshops where ponies deflate with comic dignity and a shaggy little creature eats a balloon behind a popcorn stall. We wonder if dreams are solitary janitors or communal rivers, if cores are gilded or just waves, and whether our inner rubber band needs a little soul-oil. It is what it is. What happens, happens. Breathe,

A Star Pulls the Night Forward

Fall asleep with Henrik ·

2025/09/15

Hi, Sleepy. Tonight we drift through memory like a midnight train—rattling carriages of rain on the Adventure Wolf roof, a not-quite-Luke hero tugging us forward, and a cottage where blue cheese grew in the breadbox like a tiny forest. We visit old windows with yellow curtains, recite war verses that don’t quite fit a five-year-old, and meet the faces that made us—grandmothers, grandfathers, and the mystery of a dad who tells perfect anecdotes with the feelings left just offstage. It’s an intimate,

The Binder, the Band, and the Butterfly

Fall asleep with Henrik ·

2025/09/08

Hi Sleepy. This one drifts like an unnecessary car ride into town that turns into coffee left unfinished. From there we tumble back to 2006—binders full of tour dates, whispered phone calls with elk hunters named Kurt (or was it Koot?), and four people in a forest of 500 empty chairs, half of them heckling. Out comes Mr. Green Branch in his too-tight green suit, a grumpy caterpillar refusing change, while I wonder why I always end up in tights. Phones appear, disappear, reappear. Memory slips, blue

The Beautiful Boy in Autumn

Fall asleep with Henrik ·

2025/09/01

Hi, Sleepy. Tonight I drift through mirrors—my own face in the TV screen, the cold studio air, the autumn leaves scratching outside, and the eyes of my parents, now fragile and still somehow ocean-sized. I talk about self-doubt, about calling myself ugly and then swearing, in a forest, to never do it again. I tell you about driving my parents through the towns where they once fell in love, about being both their son and their caretaker, about rage and tenderness and the unbearable sweetness of still

Maya and the Glass Forest

Fall asleep with Henrik ·

2025/08/25

Hello, Sleepy. Tonight we wander into snow and silence, into a lonely cabin where a map maker hides from the world, and a girl named Maya knocks on his door. You’ll hear boots crunching through icy forests, the stillness of a man who hasn’t spoken in decades, and the flicker of impossible maps — rivers flowing into clouds, forests made of glass, and secret tunnels that stretch under Europe.It’s a story, but not quite. A dream, but not quite. A drifting between silence and symbols, where each turn of

The Dog on My Chest

Fall asleep with Henrik ·

2025/08/18

Hi, Sleepy. Tonight, I stumble into a story about watery vegetable soup, forbidden teenage love, and a dog named M who pinned me to a leather sofa with his smelly breath and fifty kilos of stubbornness. From there, we drift to wrinkled birthday balloons, the sad fate of helium, barbershop choirs full of old drunk men, gooey macaroni comfort food, and the odd arrogance of singing “My Wild Irish Rose” with too much confidence. Somehow, it all turns into a meditation on love, gas, sadness, laughter,

Five Ways to Drift

2025/08/11

Hi Sleepy. Imagine a quilt made out of clouds, moth wings, and half-forgotten conversations. This is that quilt. Only instead of keeping you warm, it might keep you... asleep. Or not. It is what it is. What happens, happens.In this hours-long, slow-moving meteor of sound, I’ve stitched together five journeys through the strange and familiar landscapes of my own head. We begin with a denial (“This is not a sleeppodcast”), tumble into a curious caretaker dynamic (“I feel like I’m taking care of

The Beetle and the Melancholic Ape

2025/08/04

Hi, Sleepy.It’s vacation. That ambiguous soup of time where everything’s supposed to soften, slow down, sparkle. But what if it doesn’t? What if your inner rhythm just… refuses to change? In this summer-soaked episode, I step out of my apartment and wander through Stockholm’s shaded parks. I meet roses, ducks, and eventually a sarcastic, unexpectedly wise beetle who calls me a melancholic ape and asks what I’m going to do about it.We talk. About loss. About bark peeling like scrolls of memory. About

The Darkness Is Not Afraid of You

Fall asleep with Henrik ·

2025/07/28

Hi Sleepy. Tonight we investigate the duties of a dude, explore the dangers of barfing in Bermuda, and invent book titles together in a kind of dreamy publishing house of the mind. I’ll be your messy thinker while you drift off to sleep, and together we’ll wander into absurd forests, revisit long-lost friendships, contemplate public pouting birch trees, and relive the time I failed gracefully in front of the late literary elite of Sweden. There’s also a sour face in a tree, a runaway boy on a kick

A Tower, a Dragon, and My Mother

2025/07/21

Hi Sleepy. This episode starts somewhere between a weather forecast and an unknown song, and then tumbles headfirst into illusions, windmills, and the inexplicable human need to throw raw eggs into fans. I talk about nutcases (actual nuts may be involved), being a self-observing street rat, and my unwavering defence of my mother when I was seventeen and vibrating with teenage fury.We ponder the pedestal of purpose, the ghost of Don Quixote, and the mysterious romance of telepathy across time

Who's Holding the Camera?

2025/07/14

Hi Sleepy.I’m not inspired today. Which is perfect, really. Because what better place to begin than from absolutely nowhere?We start with a cheerful dead mouse – not a real one – but a rollercoaster. We imagine its wild, happy face as we plunge into the Stockholm archipelago, which I pronounce about seven times too many. Somewhere along the way I try to explain the meaning of “Stockholm” while forgetting what “Holme” means. I get interrupted by an imaginary mouse who wants to discuss existentialism

The Fingertip of Bliss

2025/07/07

Hi Sleepy. Do you ever feel like you’ve swapped yourself out, part by part, until you’re a totally different person, yet somehow still…you? Tonight, we set sail on the ship of Theseus, only to lose the rudder and find a violin instead. We spiral through liquid glass interfaces from the ’90s, winter mornings at minus 30°C, the dizzy terror of spinning taxis, and an oak tree that may or may not live inside me.This is a swirling, windy episode. An introspective drift through memories of childhood

Descend Into Decency

Welcome, Sleepy. Tonight we travel nowhere and everywhere. From rain-soaked Stockholm afternoons to marble statues of sorrow in the dark, from sugar-longings and beard-brushed foreheads in a monk’s TV room to the simple bewilderment of carrying too many plastic bags—this episode drifts through it all.There will be illusions, instant gratification, loneliness, monks with “French nerves,” disappointing first kisses, and the strange normalcy of dreams after staring grief straight in the face.

We’re Alone, Together

Fall asleep with Henrik ·

2025/06/23

Hi, Sleepy. Tonight, I’m laying on my sofa—yes, laying, not lying, although I’m probably also lying a bit—and speaking into the soft Stockholm summer night. The world outside my window is holding its breath, and I guess I’m doing something similar inside. We talk about minds touching across time and space, about Harold the hamster who won’t stop running, and the child who asked her father, “Why do I have to exist?”This episode is a quiet meander through all those big, unanswerable questions that
