One example could be a story where a person is in bed and they close their eyes. As they start to drift off to sleep, they feel like they are both in their bedroom and in a completely different place at the same time. They can see their room around them but also a vivid landscape that doesn't belong in their real world. It's a paradox because it defies the normal understanding of being in one place at a time.
Sure. Consider a bedtime paradox story where a man has a very strict bedtime routine. Every night he follows the same steps to fall asleep. But one night, as he is about to complete his routine, he realizes that the more he tries to follow it exactly as always, the more awake he becomes. This is a paradox because the routine that is supposed to help him sleep is now preventing it. He's caught in a loop of trying to do the right thing for sleep but it has the opposite effect.
Here's an example. There's a girl who always counts sheep to fall asleep. One night, as she starts counting, she notices that the sheep are not just numbers in her head but seem to be real, physical sheep in her room. And the more she tries to make them go away so she can sleep, the more they multiply. It's a bedtime paradox because the method she uses to fall asleep has created a strange and illogical situation right there in her bedroom as she is trying to sleep.

Once upon a time, there was a little lamb named Woolly. Woolly lived in a cozy meadow with his mother. Every night, before going to sleep, Woolly would look at the twinkling stars in the sky. One night, a friendly firefly came and led Woolly on a little adventure around the meadow. They saw sleeping bunnies and butterflies resting on flowers. Then the firefly guided Woolly back to his mother, and Woolly fell asleep with a happy heart.
Imagine a Calvinist bedtime story where a young boy is curious about why some people seem to be more religious than others. His father, a devout Calvinist, tells him the story of the saints in the past. He explains that according to Calvinist beliefs, those who are chosen by God are given the grace to be devout. The father tells the boy about the great Calvinist reformers and how they were called by God to spread the true gospel. The boy then realizes that his own faith journey is also part of God's plan, and he goes to sleep with a newfound sense of purpose in his Calvinist faith.
There was a family of bunnies. At bedtime, the mama bunny told a Bonbon Game Bedtime Story. She said that there was a big box filled with different - colored bonbons. Each color of bonbon represented a different task. For example, a pink bonbon meant you had to hop three times around the bed, and a blue bonbon meant you had to tell a joke. The bunny kids played this game, giggling all the while, and soon they were tired enough to go to sleep.
Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She had a magic pillow. Every night when she laid her head on it, she entered a world where time moved backwards. But as she moved through this backwards - flowing time, she grew younger. One night, she became so young that she hadn't even been born yet. And yet, she was still there in that strange paradoxical world, waiting for the next night to come so she could experience the paradox all over again.
I'm not sure specifically which 'bedtime paradox story' you are referring to. There could be many stories with such a name. It might involve some kind of contradiction or unexpected situation that occurs during bedtime, perhaps related to dreams, time perception at night, or the strange thoughts that come before sleep.
Sure. One paradox bedtime story could be about a time traveler who goes back in time to prevent a disaster, but in doing so, causes the very disaster they were trying to avoid. Another might be a story where a character is given the power to make all their dreams come true, but then realizes that having everything they want leads to a sense of emptiness.
Here is an ontological time paradox story. A man finds a strange device that allows him to send messages back in time. He sends a message to his younger self warning about a future event that would cause him great harm. His younger self heeds the warning and avoids the event. But then, the future from which the original message was sent no longer exists because the event didn't happen. So, how could the message have been sent in the first place? This is the essence of the ontological time paradox in this story.
The grandfather paradox in time - travel stories is really interesting. Imagine you go back in time and kill your grandfather before he has children. Then you wouldn't exist to go back in time in the first place. It shows the contradictions that can come up with the idea of time travel.
Here's one. A family of four, the Smiths, were staying at the Great Wolf Lodge. Their two children, Jack and Jill, were excited for bedtime because they knew there were always interesting stories at the lodge. That night, the lodge's storyteller told a story about a magical key. The key was said to unlock a door to a world filled with talking animals. Jack and Jill imagined themselves finding the key. In the story, a little squirrel had the key and was looking for someone brave to use it. Jack and Jill volunteered. They opened the door and found a beautiful land with deer that could fly and rabbits that could sing. After their adventure, they returned to the lodge and went to sleep, with dreams full of the magical land.
