Step into the powdered world of Georgian Britain—where status is everything, and everything is quietly falling apart. In tonight’s immersive sleep story, you are not a king or a peasant, but something far more exhausting: a gentleman. Groomed from birth to maintain appearances, you’ll endure boarding school beatings, salon performances, debt collectors, and brandy-soaked regret. Beneath the velvet waistcoats and powdered wigs lies a life of constant pressure, unspoken illness, and emotional repression.

This is a tale not of triumph, but of survival through etiquette. From the moment you’re born into a name you didn’t choose, to the legacy you’ll leave behind—a portrait, a debt, a silence—every breath is spent upholding a version of yourself you no longer recognize.

Perfect for sleep, study, or quiet reflection, this slow descent through 18th-century refinement invites you to lie back, listen, and vanish into a life lived in the shadow of civility.
