Sleep Goals: Get settled for sleep with help from Elis James

Join comedian Elis James, helping you to drift off with a peaceful, sleepy soundtrack.

Up at all hours catching every minute of the World Cup in Canada, Mexico, and the US? Join Elis James (Elis & John, Socially Distanced Sports Bar) to help settle your mind with a calming soundtrack from BBC Introducing artists, paired with a gentle post-match stadium atmosphere and Elis reading score-lines from the World Cup in Sweden, 1958. This particular tournament was chosen by Elis because it was the very first time the Welsh team qualified.

Produced by Alex Yates
