You find yourself safe in a mountain monastery as snow falls | 3 Hour Sleep Story, No Mid Roll Ads

Fall asleep inside history. Tonight you are safe and warm in a Benedictine monastery high in the Alps, more than eight hundred years ago, on a snowy night in deep January. A single candle, walls of thick stone, warm bread and soup from the guest kitchen, a monk finishing one last line in the scriptorium as the light fails, and the great silence after Compline, while snow wind moves over the roofs and a distant bell keeps the hours.You will hear wind in the high pines, the abbey bell far away through the snow, embers settling in the guest kitchen, and the deep stillness of a house that has kept the same quiet hours for a thousand years.This is a three hour sleep story. The narration ends softly around the 38 minute mark, and then the snow wind and the bell carry on in the dark until morning.
