Welcome to Boring History to Sleep — the only show where falling asleep in the middle is not only allowed… it’s encouraged. Each episode takes you on a slow, uneventful stroll through the most yawn-worthy corners of the past: treaties nobody remembers, kings who ruled for three weeks, and revolutions that never really got started. Delivered in the softest, most sleep-inducing voice we could find, this show is like warm milk with a side of ancient trivia. Perfect for insomniacs, history nerds, and anyone who thinks a Roman tax policy discussion sounds like a lullaby. Lay back, close your eyesVelvet Ciencia Ciencias Sociales

  • Boring History For Sleep | Neanderthals: The Guys Who Invented Bad Decisions 🪓😬
    Nov 23 2025

    💀🔥 Neanderthals weren’t the quiet, thoughtful cave philosophers you see in museums — they were walking chaos machines built like tanks and powered by pure impulse. They invented bad decisions, picked fights with animals ten times their size, and somehow survived on a diet that was 90% meat and 10% “let’s see if this kills me.” Their lives were loud, wild, and tragically hilarious — the perfect blend of brute strength and absolutely zero long-term planning.

    So close your eyes and drift back to a world where every day was chest-beating, mammoth-dodging, rock-throwing insanity… and weirdly, that’s how humanity made it this far.

  • Boring History For Sleep | Royal Addictions: The Dark Side of British Monarchy 👀👑
    Nov 21 2025

    🍷 Behind the polished portraits and royal etiquette, some British monarchs fought battles far darker than any war — with their own addictions, vices, and self-destructive habits. From kings who couldn’t put down the bottle to princes undone by excess, these stories reveal a monarchy far messier, more human, and more chaotic than the history books admit.

    So close your eyes and wander through candlelit palaces where power glittered on the surface… and ruin often lurked just beneath the crown.

  • Boring History For Sleep | How Humans Accidentally Domesticated Cats… Twice 🐈‍⬛🤦‍♂️
    Nov 21 2025

    🐈‍⬛✨ Humans didn’t tame cats — cats simply showed up, judged us, and decided we were acceptable roommates. We domesticated them once in the ancient Near East, lost them to the wild, and then somehow ended up doing it all over again thousands of years later. Now close your eyes and drift into the quiet, purring history of the world’s most aloof companions — who domesticated us just as much as we domesticated them.

It is not an overstatement to say this podcast has actually improved my life. I struggle with waking up in the middle of the night and getting back to sleep because my brain starts up. I now put on this podcast and his wonderful voice absorbes me just enough that I am out of my own head and within 5 minutes I'm back to sleep. And if I wake up again? No problem, 5 minutes more and I'm back to sleep again.

Improved my life

The reader’s voice doesnt sound natural. It’s a very lofty, phony tone - like a theater kid performing more than someone telling a story. It sounds like the reader is making their voice deeper than it actually is and reading way too slow for effect. Overall the content is okay but the performance is unnatural and distracting.
