What if your best night's sleep is just one experiment away?
I'm Yarrow, and tonight on Dusk and Dreams: The Unquiet Mind’s Guide to Myth and Rest, we're stepping into the Nighttime Lab—a sanctuary where you're both the scientist and the subject.
In this episode, we explore the simple tweaks, old and new, that can shift the way our minds and bodies move into rest. You'll hear the results of my own personal trials with various sleep strategies, from journaling methods and environmental shifts to the surprising effectiveness of tech experiments with binaural beats and wearables.
I’ll share what I've learned about creating a custom sleep strategy that might also work for you by blending timeless ancient rituals with new tools. Finally, we’ll end with a guided breathwork finale to help put on your invisible lab coat and conduct your very own experiment in rest.
Tonight's Immersive Soundscape: Settle in to the sounds of late-night stillness with a cozy fireplace crackle, soft wind and ocean waves through the window, and a faint bubbling to evoke the feeling of a calm, late-night experiment.

Episode 19: Then, Yarrow will return to explore "Night Rituals Across Cultures." We’ll look at how the world greets and guards the night in both modern day and ancient societies.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
