So, you might have heard of the app, Calm. Basically, it's designed to help people manage stress, lower anxiety, and sleep better through guided meditations and audio clips.
Canceling plans is ok. Doing nothing is ok. Listening to a bedtime story is ok. Taking a nap is ok. You are always enough. 💙 #mindfulness
Earlier this week, Calm tweeted this *very* cryptic emoji message followed by the words "This Wednesday."
🍉 💤 📖 🔜 🛏 This Wednesday.
And some super-smart internet sleuths deduced that the watermelon emoji could only mean one thing: Harry Styles.
The next day, Calm confirmed everyone's hopes and dreams with this 30-second video — a Harry Styles sleep story is a go:
Wednesday. #DreamWithHarry
*It also includes the tiiiiiiiiiiniest audio snippet of Harry's dreamy voice.
And today, Wednesday, July 8, 2020, Dream with Me narrated by Harry Styles is officially available (!!!!!) on the app.
@Harry_Styles 😏 #DreamWithHarry
Along with other sleep stories narrated by LeBron James, Laura Dern, Matthew McConaughey, Kelly Rowland, and Lucy Liu.
I, for one, am NOT calm.
It seems like Styles stans are just as excited about this, and if you don't believe me, see for yourself:
harry styles on the calm app saying, “so come with me and we’ll see what the two of us can find,” and “now we snuggle on a raft and drift for endless hours,” has officially saved 2020.
