Seneca's Evening Stoic Routine: A Historical Reconstruction for Modern Sleep

Two thousand years ago, the richest man in Rome did seven small things every night before sleep. We reconstructed the routine from his own hand, and it still works. 🕯️ I have come to believe the most important minutes of your day are the last few, the ones right before you fall asleep, and that almost everyone wastes them. Seneca did not. Tonight, lamp by lamp, let me show you exactly what he did, and how to do it yourself.   🚀 ⁠⁠Download Free Stoic Sleep Journal On Patreon Here⁠ ⁠⁠⁠🎧 Most Popular Sleepy Playlist⁠   If these Sleep Stories help your night, don't forget to subscribe so the next story can find you when you need it most.
