Boring Books for Bedtime Readings to Help You Sleep

Boring Books for Bedtime is a weekly, ad-free, AI-free sleep podcast in which we calmly, quietly read something rather boring to silence the brain chatter keeping you awake. Think Aristotle, Thoreau, and whoever wrote the 1897 Sears Catalog—mostly nonfiction, mostly old, a perfect balance of vaguely-but-not-too interesting. If you're on Team Sleepless, lie back, take a deep breath, and let us read you to rest.Copyright Sharon Handy, All Rights Reserved Higiene y Vida Saludable Psicología Psicología y Salud Mental

    Cassell's Book of Birds, Part 6 - Parrots Continued
    Mar 2 2026

    Let's soar to sleep on the wings of birds as we learn more about the feathered family of parrots. This time, descriptions of magnificent macaws in all the shades of the rainbow, as well as their charming cousins, the parakeets. Dreamy indeed.

  • Our National Parks, by John Muir, Part 6

    Our National Parks, by John Muir, Part 6
    Feb 23 2026

    Let's wander the forests of relaxation with more from this ode to the natural beauties of western America. This time, we learn more of the forests of Yosemite, from silver firs to ancient cedars, and Muir has a rather melancholy visit with an aged Ralph Waldo Emerson. Carpe diem while you can, friends.

  • The Voyage of the Bounty to the South Sea, by Lt. William Bligh, Part 3

    The Voyage of the Bounty to the South Sea, by Lt. William Bligh, Part 3
    Feb 16 2026

    Let's sail to sleep with more from this voyage of HMS Bounty, which continues to be somewhat less exciting than promised. This time, we plant trees in Van Diemen's Land, see some rocks, and find out that jellyfish were called blubbers, which is adorable. Then Otaheite/Tahiti ahoy, at long last! What could go wrong?

I didn’t realize how much I would love this. My favorite was the JCPenney catalog

Sleep like a baby

Ms. Handy’s wonderful voice and the excellent books she selects bore me to sleep every night. This allows me to wake up rested and ready to be engaging and not bore my college students! :-)

Boring Books Rock!

Sharon Handy’s reading is superbly paced. Her vocal tone is warm and soothing. The perfect mix for a relaxing listen. The source materials are delightfully dull. Interesting enough that I look forward to new updates and looking through old episodes. The range of materials from dense philosophy to cheese making and reading antique catalogs out-loud is the perfect mix of experiences. Novel enough to engage my mind and relaxing enough to let my mind doze off. If I end up sleepless, the episodes are informational enough that time awake doesn’t feel wasted, which is particularly soothing for my sleep anxiety.

Best sleep cast out there.

I find the topics interesting because these stories were written years ago. The stories are about science from years ago.
