About Sleep Tight Science

We've got bedtime down to a (Sleep Tight) Science!

Sleep Tight Science is an engaging bedtime show that makes science accessible and enjoyable for the whole family. Each week, we answer real science questions submitted by curious listeners—turning bedtime into a calming adventure through the wonders of the natural world.

The Sleep Tight Science Experience

Listener-driven topics.
Every episode explores questions that kids actually wonder about. Why do we feel icky when we're worried? How do our legs help us move? Do whales get the hiccups? If your child has a burning science question, email us at hello@sleeptightscience.com—it might just become our next episode!

Big words for curious minds.
We use proper scientific terminology because kids love learning the real words. But don't worry—everything is explained simply enough that grown-ups can follow along too.

Calming, not overstimulating.
While the topics are fascinating, our gentle pacing and soothing narration help listeners drift off to dreamland. Learn something new while your busy mind settles down for sleep.

Screen-free learning.
We help kids rest from their busy, screen-filled day while still feeding their natural curiosity about how the world works.

The Sleep Tight Science Team

Sleep Tight Science is narrated by Sheryl MacLeod—an elementary educator for more than 25 years—and produced by her husband Clark; still a curious second-grader at heart.

Both Sheryl and Clark are advocates of using methods that help children become more mindful, focused, and relaxed. Sharing knowledge has always been Sheryl's passion, and she's most at home when helping young learners flourish as human beings.
