If our world ended, who would carry life and memory into the next one?
Drift into an ancient mystery with Sleepy Time Mystery. This sleep documentary explores four accounts of worlds ending: Plato’s story of forgotten civilizations, Yima’s shelter in the Vendidad, Manu’s great flood, and Tata and Nene’s survival in the Aztec Fourth Sun.
Who was spared, and what did they carry forward? Discover how these ancient texts answer differently—and why the idea of an “eighth civilization” still gives us something to wonder about.
Subscribe to Sleepy Time Mystery for more calming journeys through ancient history and mythology.

Kindly Note:
Every story on this channel is rooted in a deep respect for history. We work as directors and editors, using AI tools to assist with research and drafting the script while we shape the narrative and verify the facts. The narration is delivered by a digital replica of a professional voice actor, and the visuals are individually crafted artistic impressions created with AI. Even with these tools, bringing a story of this depth to life takes many hours of work.
Please keep in mind that while the narrative is grounded in thorough historical research, its main purpose is storytelling for entertainment and relaxation. It is not meant to serve as a formal academic or scientific source. Thank you for your trust and support.
