Sleep with Rock Stars, The Teaser

We were tired of being sleep deprived, so we made the podcast we needed to finally sleep: Sleep with Rock Stars, the Gen X Sleep Podcast. You deserve a good night's sleep.

Sleep with Rock Stars, the Gen X Sleep Podcast. You deserve a good night's sleep…or whatever.

Relax and unwind while award-winning radio host and podcaster, Sloane Spencer, lulls you with soothing details about bands and musicians beloved by Gen X. Start with a calm meditation to train your brain that it's time to sleep, settle your headspace, and drift off with a low, mellow, sometimes whispering history lesson about the best bands to ever grace your mixed tapes.

This Week

Enjoy this brief meditation sampler. Use it each evening to begin training your brain that this is the sleep signal.

Starting in July 2025, we will release new episodes every other Tuesday, with a short meditation and deep dive into a band beloved by Gen X.

Transcript

Welcome to Sleep with Rock Stars, the Gen X sleep podcast, because you deserve a good night's sleep...or whatever. I'm Sloane Spencer. In each Sleep with Rock Stars sleep podcast, I will read from Wikipedia about your favorite Gen X musicians and bands.

If this podcast helps you relax and fall asleep, please leave a five star rating and a kind review in your favorite podcast app.

You may find that the more you listen, the more your mind will begin to associate these stories with sleep. So, feel free to return to each episode again and again. Repetition can help create a signal to your brain that it's time to rest.

And if the musical act isn't your favorite, that's perfectly ok. You don't need to pay close attention. Instead, let the words wash over you. Let their rhythm and softness lull you, not for interest, but for sleep. You are not here to be entertained. You are here to let go.

Now let your breath guide you deeper into stillness. Take a moment to settle in. Gently close your eyes and let your body begin to rest.

There's nowhere you need to be, nothing you need to do.

This is your time, a time to let go of the day, unwind, and allow your mind to slow down. With each breath in, invite calm. With each breath out, release the tension.

As your body begins to soften into the surface beneath you, imagine a gentle wave of warmth from the crown of your head to the tips of your toes, carrying away the weight of the day.

Sloane Spencer is an award-winning voice over actor, radio personality, and podcast host. As a lifelong insomniac, she created Sleep with Rock Stars to incorporate sleep science successes (like meditation, repetition, and soothing vocals) with her favorite topic, Gen X music. Even when sleep deprived, Spencer enjoys distance running, her family, and her rescue dog.
