A Quiet Night in Ancient Babylon | Sleep Story

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

A city made from river mud, rising slowly on top of its own forgotten rooms.

A long, slow one. There's no ending you need to reach, and nothing you'll miss if you drift off partway.

Tonight: the mud-brick houses and narrow streets of ancient Babylon, courtyards hidden behind blank walls, clay tablets pressed with reed styluses, barley, dates and beer, temples where the gods were fed and dressed, blue-glazed gates, family graves beneath the floor, and warm nights spent sleeping beneath the open sky.

If these evenings have become part of how you end the day, follow along so the next one finds you. A rating or a few words, whenever you happen to, is how the next tired person finds their way to a place like this.

Narration on this channel is AI-assisted. The research, writing, and shaping of each evening are done by hand.

Sleep well, friend.
