About the show

Sleepy Facts About the Universe is a calm astronomy and space science podcast for sleep, relaxation, and quiet curiosity. Each episode explores the universe in a gentle documentary style: stars, planets, galaxies, black holes, nebulae, the Moon, the Sun, cosmic history, space missions, and simple explanations of astrophysics without loud drama or stressful narration. If you enjoy relaxing science podcasts, space facts for sleep, astronomy explained, or peaceful documentaries about the cosmos, this show is designed to keep you curious while letting your mind slow down. Sleepy Facts About the Universe is produced by the small team at sciflix.one. Each episode is built from human-researched facts and written exclusively for this channel by science fiction author Sascha Schmidt and co-authored by Kyle Smith, with a steady focus on factual care, clear explanation, and a soothing bedtime tone. The episodes are narrated by Kyle Smith’s synthetic voice, the familiar anchor voice of our Sleepy Facts series. We are always interested in the questions that keep listeners curious. If there is a space topic, astronomy question, cosmic mystery, or scientific idea you would like us to cover, tell us what you would love to hear next.
