Actor Fahri Yardim Releases German Sleep Story™ “In the Forest of Dreams” Exclusively on Calm

Yardim’s Sleep Story™ is available for Calm users everywhere on September 14

MUNICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leading actor Fahri Yardim joins Calm as its latest voice narrating “In the Forest of Dreams,” a new Sleep Story™ available exclusively on Calm beginning September 14. The story, read in German, guides the listener through a soothing forest bath inspired by Japanese tradition.

“When I sleep, I trust,” Yardim said. “I sink into a world of the unconscious, recover my strength and fall freely into a space of stillness and security. Sleep reflects the movements of the day. Sleep means falling into yourself and catching yourself at the same time.”

Yardim is passionate about mental health, and starring in the 2021 Sky Nature documentary became a life-changing moment on his mental health journey. He joins German icons, model Stefanie Giesinger and actor Sebastian Koch, in Calm’s robust Sleep Story™ library.

Sleep disorders can cause serious mental and physical illnesses, such as depression and cardiovascular disease, as numerous studies have shown. Calm user studies have proven the effectiveness of Calm content: 84% better mental state, 81% less stress, and 73% better sleep quality reported by regular users of the app.
