Put the day aside with a carefully chosen playlist of relaxing music

Three hours of calming classical music to help you release the stresses of the day, recharge and prepare to rest - presented by Irish musician and mindfulness expert Niall Breslin.

This episode features a rich blend of music from the likes of Eunike Tanzil, Justus Rümenapp and Vivaldi. Plus, a chance to Press Pause with meditation teacher Maude Hirst, and some essential Wind Down Wisdom from science podcaster Caroline Steel on how just a little connection to nature every day can help achieve calm.

To listen on most smart speakers, just ask BBC Sounds to play Classical Wind Down.
