The Entire Halo Timeline To Fall Asleep To

Fall asleep to the entire Halo timeline, from godlike Precursors and arrogant Forerunners all the way to Master Chief, the Covenant, the Flood, the Banished, and the Endless.

In this video, we start before humanity even existed, with beings who could shape reality and weave thought into the fabric of the galaxy. We follow the rise and fall of the Forerunners, their war against their own creators, the birth of the Flood, and the desperate choice to fire the Halo Array and reset everything.

From there, we drift through the ages as humanity crawls back into the stars, builds its colonies, and tears itself apart in rebellion just in time to meet the Covenant’s holy war. Spartans are born in secret. Harvest burns. Reach falls. A single ship runs, carrying one super soldier and an AI who will be forced to choose between survival and extinction on the ringworlds.

You will move slowly through Alpha Halo, Delta Halo, the Ark, and Zeta Halo as a calm narrative connects the games, novels, and deeper lore into one long, continuous story. The Forerunners’ sins, Mendicant Bias, the Librarian, the Didact, the rise of the Arbiter, the schism in the Covenant, the final stand on the Ark, the Awakening of the Created, Atriox and the Banished, and the strange threat of the Endless all unfold in gentle detail.

The pacing is slow and steady, designed to help you relax, zone out, and drift off while still feeling like you are finally getting the full Halo timeline in order. Put this on in the background, dim the lights, and let the galaxy rewind and play itself out around you.

This is not official and not affiliated with 343 Industries, Bungie, or Microsoft. It is a fan-made, lore-focused sleep video meant to celebrate the universe of Halo in a calm and respectful way.

If this helps you relax, you can:
• Use it as a nightly sleep ritual
• Listen while studying, grinding, or traveling
• Loop it for long flights or late-night gaming vibes

🕯️ Grab your headphones, get comfortable, and fall asleep to the Entire Halo Timeline.
