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.
