Three hours of calm music from the world of Mesopotamian myth, made to help you fall asleep and stay asleep through the whole night. A bonus for the quiet nights, the same music playing tonight on our live sleep stream, three hours with no talking at all.
Tonight is a warm night in the land between the rivers, a temple tower pale under a thin moon, reeds moving on the water, carried in one long piece that turns into a second, slower theme and back again, so the music keeps drifting instead of looping every few minutes.
The music is original to the show, made with AI music tools and mixed for sleep: no melody that swells, no percussion, nothing sudden.
If it helps you sleep, follow the show so each new story and each new night of music arrives on its own, and leave a rating on Apple Podcasts so other people can find it.
