The Sleeping Almanac: Sleep Stories for Adults from Myth and Fairy Tale

by The Sleeping Almanac · Sleep Stories from Myth and Fairy Tale

The Sleeping Almanac retells the world's oldest stories, myths, lost civilizations, and forgotten cosmologies, in slow, calm narration designed to be listened to as you fall asleep. Each episode is researched, written, and narrated to drift over you rather than demand your attention. The pacing is slow. The music never spikes. The goal is the opposite of keeping you awake. Each season moves through a different story tradition. Norse mythology, Egyptian myth, the great fairy tales from Cinderella to The Little Mermaid, the tales of 1001 Nights, and now Season Four, Homer's Odyssey. New episodes several times a week, every one of them three hours long. The almanac is now a book. Norse Myths Retold for Sleep gathers twelve of the oldest stories, retold to be read in a low lamp until the page slips from your hand. On Kindle now, free with Kindle Unlimited: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GX2WLVPD This show uses AI tools (research, narration, visuals) under human editorial direction. Every episode is reviewed before release.
