While they're not everyone's cup of tea, for some the confrontation with fictional horrors offers a sense of security.

The more ghastly the tale, the safer one feels under the covers.

Samuel Dock, a clinical psychologist, describes this as a comforting ritual, a reminder of our own safety compared to the chaos unfolding in the story.

But if you have trouble sleeping, there are other stories you can try.

Specialists recommend meditation or travelogues, which are much more soothing, according to the National Geographic.

Isn't it a bit weird to be fascinated by this kind of story?

Our fascination with crime stories isn't morbid curiosity.

It's a deep-seated interest in the human psyche and the mysteries that lurk within.

These stories invite us to explore the intricate motives behind heinous acts, providing a mix of disturbance and intrigue.

As long as we maintain a healthy balance, there's no harm in indulging in these dark tales.

So if you're looking for true crime, gardener's question time, or just a calming meditation, there is plenty to choose from.

Settle in, press play, and let the stories whisk you away to dreamland.

Happy listening.

There you have it.

Why is it so hard to disobey?

Thanks for asking.

Picture this.

Your boss asks you to do something that feels unfair or pointless.

You disagree, but you go along with it anyway.

Has the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle finally been solved?
