Once upon a time, tucked away just behind your eyelids when you start to feel sleepy, was a very special place. It wasn't a big bustling place, oh no. It was a tiny, quiet, sleepy secret garden.
This garden was made just for bedtime. The paths were soft moss, like walking on a fluffy cloud. Little glow-worms twinkled gently, not brightly, but like tiny sleepy stars showing the way.
If you tiptoed very quietly into the sleepy garden, you might see the Sleepy Flowers. They didn't stand up tall and bright like daytime flowers. They gently nodded their heads, closed their petals a little, and smelled sweet and calm, like warm milk and honey.
Look closely! Underneath a big, soft leaf, a little ladybug was tucking her little legs away, getting ready for a nap. On a smooth, round stone, a fuzzy bumblebee was snoring tiny bee snores, all tired out from the day's buzzing.
Everything in the sleepy secret garden felt safe and warm. The air was soft like a blanket, and the only sounds were gentle whispers of the wind through the leaves, saying "Sush... sush... time for rest."
You could wander just a little bit, letting your curiosity guide you to see the Sleepy Butterflies with wings soft as velvet, resting on the nodding flowers. They didn't flutter and zoom, but stayed perfectly still, dreaming butterfly dreams.
The sleepy secret garden was a place to feel cozy and peaceful. It wasn't hidden with gates or locks; it was hidden with quiet and calm, waiting for you when you felt sleepy and ready to close your eyes.
As you walked deeper into the soft moss paths, you felt your own eyes start to feel heavy, just like the Sleepy Flowers. Your body felt soft and warm, just like the moss.
The little sleepy ladybug, the snoring bumblebee, the quiet butterflies, and the nodding flowers all seemed to whisper, "Goodnight... goodnight... come dream with us."
And as you felt the peace of the sleepy secret garden wrap around you like a warm hug, you knew it was time to close your eyes fully and drift away, carrying the gentle calm of the secret garden into your own sweet dreams.
