Ned Sleep Blend Novels & Stories

’ Blackie snorted, ‘More like a dead pig…’ *** That night was Noah’s best sleep ever since he came to this world; thus, he found himself waking up fully rested earlier than usual. He didn’t know why, but that night he had felt especially relaxed and comfortable. He was surrounded by pleasing warmth, and there was even a comfortable weight on top of him. Not too light nor too heavy, but just right. Like one of those therapeutic weighted blankets, he had always wanted to have in his previous life. So that’s what all the hype was about! Sleeping under a weighted blanket was indeed worth all the hype!

The guilt was suffocating me. I pulled out the tiny glass vial I’d bought from an apothecary, filled with a concentrated liquid blend of Valerian root and high-dose melatonin, marketed as a "Deep Sleep Elixir." It smelled earthy and would be easily masked. Jason walked out, wrapped only in a towel, while he dried his hair with another. He looked over, an appreciative smile spreading across his face. “Sunshine, you really went all out. This place is incredible. What’s next, a full body massage?”

My mood changed drastically and Sebastian noticed this. He asked what was wrong with me and I didn't know if it was a good idea to tell him what was happening to me. -It's hard to explain. -You didn't sleep very well, did you? -Is it that noticeable? -Why can't you sleep, is something bothering you? -No, it's just that I can't get to sleep. -But I can tell you're tired, tell me what's wrong. -It's hard to explain. -I know I shouldn't interfere but it's wrong that you don't sleep, you're affecting your health.

The fabric was the kind of soft that came from a well used blanket. He obeyed his orders. He pulled the blankets back and a rush of lavender hit him. He inhaled the pleasing scent and let his eyes close. He lay down and the pillows had a faded scent of lavender in them as well. The bed was almost too soft, the pillow too plush. Wren didn’t think he’d be able to sleep, not when he was laying on something so different that anything he’d been on before, but it didn’t take more than a couple deep breaths of the calming, soothing scent and Wren drifted off to sleep.

I sit on the edge of my bed in the half-dark, thighs pressed together against the low throb that's been building since the delivery box arrived this afternoon. The new Nexus Veil headset stares back at me from its sleek black case, matte finish catching the faint blue glow from my bedside lamp. No bulky straps like the old models. This one is a slim visor with soft neural pads that mold to your temples and a thin band that wraps around the back of your skull. They say it reads your arousal metrics down to the millisecond, syncs haptic feedback straight to your nervous system.

“Just overwhelmed.” He nodded, relieved, then reached into the small paper bag he was holding. “I brought you something. You didn’t eat yesterday and probably skipped breakfast too.” He placed a sandwich, an energy drink, and a shiny little pack of sweets on my desk. I blinked at the last one. *NY RushBurst – Manhattan Mint Edition.* The sleek blue wrapper shimmered under the light. I'd seen the ads, it was the new trend in the city. Supposed to keep people awake for 24 hours straight.

And I smile when I see that he’s pushed three of the beds together, making one huge bed. He’s piled all the blankets and pillows on it. He wears only his under things and opens the blanket for me to climb in with him. I drop my towel on the floor just to the side of the bed and climb into the nest with him. His skin is warm and I don’t know why, but I blush slightly as I think about my bare legs against his bare legs, and my bare arms brushing his bare arms.

Knowing that she'd put a large amount of walnuts and tomatoes inside the pastries, he should also be asleep like the others. The guy laughed like a maniac. “Why would I miss those delicious pastries? I just didn't drink the wine.” “Huh?” Heidi's heart raced harder. Definitely, the sedative effect of the walnuts and tomatoes would only work faster with a combination of the wine due to their high melatonin content. 'Damnit!’ Heidi shut her eyes and cursed inside her mind. “So you know about that combination?” She asked. The guy shook his head. “I don't know what combination you're talking about. I just couldn't trust you, especially with the wine.”

The raging frustration pulled her shoulder down, knowing it was Zandro who was in the car. Did he leave just like that after their wedding? A cold smirk found its way to her lips. "And what am I expecting here?" Instead of making more reasons to start a drama that will surely make her chest heavy eventually, she chose to dive into her soft and expensive bed to let it carry all of the negativity for now, also the emptiness growing in her stomach. Shutting her eyes and forcing herself to sleep, Blythe slowly felt her nerves calming down as her brain produced too many melatonin hormones which eventually put her into a deep sleep eventually...

So, instead, she found ways to help from the shadows. She had spent two whole months perfecting a custom fragrance to help with his insomnia. It was earthy sandalwood mixed with a hint of lavender and citrus. Something calming but not too soft. She knew his preferences better than he knew them himself. Without ever signing her name, she had packaged the fragrance into sleek black diffusers and mailed them to his home every two weeks. Each bottle came with a clean, typed label and a small, folded note that read: “For restful sleep.”
