There's something very soothing about Harry Styles' mellifluous voice. So soothing, in fact, that you'll soon be able to hear him read you a bedtime story.

The One Direction star has voiced a sleep-encouraging story for meditation app Calm and you'll be able to listen to it from July 8.

If you've ever had any trouble nodding off to sleep, you might already be familiar with Calm's Sleep Stories, which launched back in 2016 and have a range of star-studded narrators, including Nick Offerman, Lucy Liu, Stephen Fry, and Matthew McConaughey. And, if you haven't heard of the magical wonders of sleepcasts and sleep stories before, here's a great article with much more useful information.

There's even a hashtag to accompany the dropping of this....bedtime story: #DreamWithHarry. 

To give you a taste of how that Sleep Story might sound, listen to the below video right until this end.

Even that one sentence — "Hello, I'm Harry Styles" — is enough to make me drop off to the land of nod.

The collaboration isn't such a stretch, as fervent Harry Styles fans know: Not only has he been open about the importance of mental health, but he also invested in Calm in 2018 during their Series A round.

"Sleep and meditation are a huge part of my routine, whether I'm at home, in the studio, or out on the road," Styles said in Calm's press release. "I'm so happy to be collaborating with Calm at a time when the world needs all the healing it can get. Treat people with kindness."

Michael Acton Smith, Calm co-founder and co-CEO, said in their press release that Styles' Sleep Story will help millions sleep every night. "His mellifluous voice is the perfect tonic to calm a racing mind," said Smith.

"Rest and recovery is as important as doing the work," said Styles. "Finding a balance has been endlessly beneficial to both my physical and mental health. It’s changed my life."

Sweet dreams, one and all.
