Sleep stories from myth and legend

Choose an old world for tonight. Each collection leads to full episodes, chapter lists and podcast listening links.

Norse mythology sleep stories

Begin with the world tree, then follow Odin, Thor and Loki through the old Norse stories. These long bedtime retellings give each tale room to unfold over a quiet music bed. Choose one story for tonight or continue through the season on YouTube.

Egyptian mythology sleep stories

Travel from the first sunrise to the stories of Isis, Osiris, Horus and Set. The Sleeping Almanac tells these Egyptian myths slowly, with chapters you can return to and narration you can read alongside the recording. Start with Ra and the First Sunrise, or choose a familiar name below.

The Odyssey sleep stories

Follow Odysseus through the voyage home, one long listening session at a time. This collection includes the story before the Odyssey and the episodes of the voyage itself. If you are new to the tale, start with the introduction; if you already know the journey, choose the chapter you want to revisit.
