The Very Tired Dragon 🐉 | Gentle Bedtime Story for Kids | Calming Sleep Tale for Toddlers

Welcome back to The Bedtime Adventure Club — the calming podcast that helps little ones fall asleep peacefully and gives parents a gentle, screen-free tool for building healthy bedtime routines. In tonight’s sleepy story, we meet Dax, a very big, very kind dragon... who is very, very tired.

Dax spends his days helping clouds form, warming apples on trees, and telling stories to baby birds. But when it’s time to rest, his thoughts are just too big and busy. Sound familiar?
