A sleep story for tonight: the rooftop of a quiet riad in the old city of Marrakech, Morocco, as the evening cools. You watch swallows turn above a thousand rose-colored rooftops, drink mint tea as the lanterns are lit one by one, sit beside a tiled fountain under four orange trees, and lie down in a low cool room with the sound of falling water going on all night.

Drift Atlas is a nightly sleep story podcast — one real place per episode, narrated softly in the second person over gentle sleep music, with a ten-minute music tail to drift off to. No plot, no surprises, no dates: every episode is evergreen, so you can fall asleep to any one, any night. Hosted by Jordan Blake.

A sleep story for tonight: a narrow canal in Venice, Italy, at midnight, with a fine soft rain beginning to fall. You cross a small stone bridge past a gondola rocking at its post, follow the shining lanes to a tiny square with a single tree as a bell marks the hour, and lie down under a high white cover while the rain patters on the water below the shutters.

A sleep story for tonight: a small pine cabin on a hillside above a Norwegian fjord, in the long pale dusk of the north that never quite goes dark. You watch the still water hold the sky, sit by a low iron stove with warm milk and honey, and climb into a deep wooden berth under wool blankets while the light fades so slowly you are asleep before it is gone.
