🕯️ Wyatt Earp Sleep Story | When Lawmen Became Outlaws

Settle in for a Sleep Story about the truth behind the West's most famous gunfight: the shootout near the O.K. Corral. This is not the noble tale of brave lawmen you've been told. It is the story of Wyatt Earp, a man who came to Tombstone to build a respectable empire, but could only do so with the tools he knew best: intimidation, corruption, and the Colt .45 on his hip.

In this immersive Sleep History documentary, experience the gritty, fatalistic tragedy of how a quest for order became a gang war, and how a chaotic 30-second street fight was laundered into a heroic legend. This bedtime story peels back the propaganda, with a calm narration designed for relaxation and deep sleep
