lullableThe first voice in the dawn chorus, singing before there is light to sing by. Your best hour is one most people sleep through, and by nine in the evening the day has quietly closed behind you. The trouble is rarely falling asleep. It is the world expecting you to be awake at ten.
What your night tends to look like
- Sleep window
- About 9:00–10:00 pm to 5:00–6:00 am
- Sharpest hours
- 6 to 10 am
- Last coffee
- Before noon
- Wind down
- From 8:30 pm
A story for your wind-down: The Bakery Before Dawn.
Or a sound with no words at all: Night wetland, frogs and crickets after dark near Felipe Carrillo Puerto, Quintana Roo, free on greensound.
Whatever hour you finally lie down, the moment is the same: a mind still running. Lullable reads you true, quietly fascinating things in a voice that gets softer every minute, so the thinking has somewhere to go.

- TortoiseModerately a morning type. An early riser who keeps to the daylight and is in no hurry inside it.
- SheepNeither, and in good company. Neither lark nor owl, and the most common of the five, which seems fitting.
- MothModerately an evening type. The evening is where you come alive, usually near a lamp.
- OctopusDefinitely an evening type. You do not properly get going until the sun has gone down.
