POV: “just one more chapter” at bedtime

Moonbaa is in bed with a good book and absolutely, definitely only reading one more chapter. Seventeen seconds later, you can guess how that goes.

What it is

A tiny bedtime joke for anyone who has said “one more chapter” three chapters ago. Moonbaa insists on staying awake, nods off mid-word, and drifts off to a soft “Snuggle in. Sweet dreams.” Moonbaa is reading a paper book here, not scrolling a phone, on purpose.

If this is you

Reading in bed can be a lovely way to wind down, as long as the book lets you go. A few things help: pick something you have read before or that doesn’t end every chapter on a cliffhanger, use a warm, dim light, and decide your stopping point before you start. Our sleep calculator helps you work out when to put the book down for the wake-up time you need.

Sound design note

As in our other Moonbaa Shorts, the voice is an original designed voice made with ElevenLabs for this character, and it doesn’t imitate any real person. The snores and zzz effects come from our earlier Moonbaa edits.

Why a book?

Moonbaa Shorts are meant to be gentle, a little silly and on the side of good sleep. A sheep joking about scrolling a phone at midnight would make the habit look cosy, so the joke here is about a book instead, the kind of late night most of us remember fondly. The pacing is slow and the voice is soft, so it won’t jolt you awake if it pops up in your feed late in the evening. If you like Moonbaa, meet Moonbaa properly or watch Moonbaa try counting sheep.
