When Christmas feels like a lot.
The lights, the noise, the changes to routine, the waiting. For anxious, sensitive and neurodivergent children, December can be wonderful and overwhelming at the same time, and bedtime is often where it all spills over.
These three stories are made for exactly that moment. Slow, warm and predictable, they give a busy mind something soft to hold onto. Built from the ground up for neurodivergent children, HushAway® is low-demand and instruction-free. There’s nothing to follow and no “calm down” first. Just press play, dim the lights, and let your child drift.
What is inside.
The Sleepy Firefly’s Glow
4½ minutes, 417Hz.
Luma the firefly worries her glow is fading, until a wise old tree and the moon remind her that even the stars need to rest.
The Sleepy Feather
5 minutes, 396Hz.
A tiny feather slips from Otto the owl’s wing and drifts through the quiet forest, over a silver lake and past sleepy Barney the bear cub, until the night breeze carries it safely home.
The Sleepy Moonbeam’s Hug
4 minutes, 174Hz.
Marne, a little silver moonbeam, glides past clouds and rivers to bring a warm, cosy hug to your child’s window.

How does the sound help?
Solfeggio frequencies
Each story has a Solfeggio frequency layered quietly underneath the narration, 417Hz, 396Hz or 174Hz, so the sound itself feels soft and steady.
Slow, predictable storytelling
Gentle pacing, soft narration and ASMR-informed sound give a busy mind something familiar to hold onto, night after night.
Research-informed
Research into sound and music suggests rhythm, tone and repetition can help shift a child from on edge to more settled, and ASMR studies have found improved mood and lower arousal in some participants. HushAway® is UK-based and backed by our Circle of Experts and SoundSonic® Ambassadors.
HushAway® is a sound-therapy-informed regulation tool, not a medical treatment or a replacement for clinical advice.

Yes. Forward the download email to the family, or tuck the link into a Christmas card.
Does my child need headphones?
No. A soft speaker in the room works well. If your child is comfortable with headphones, keep the volume low and gentle.
