Over Boring History for Sleep

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 eyes

Forget the glamorous movie myths and sharp suits. The early American Mafia grew out of poverty, migration, fear, and quiet agreements made in back rooms and tenement apartments.

The 12 Labours of Hercules: Explained Beyond the Myth 🏛️ | Boring History for Sleep

Forget the simple tales of strength and glory. The labours of Hercules were acts of punishment, fear, and endurance, imposed by gods and fate.

Boring history for sleep – Soft stories about difficult lives.

episode Egypt: Fall of the Pharaohs ⚱️ | Boring History for Sleep artwork

Egypt: Fall of the Pharaohs ⚱️ | Boring History for Sleep

Forget the idea of eternal gods and unbreakable dynasties. The fall of the pharaohs was slow and fragile, shaped by internal struggles, foreign invasions, economic decline, and the fading power of ancient beliefs. Temples emptied, crowns changed hands, and a civilization built on eternity quietly unraveled. A calm story about the end of divine rule in a changing world.

A Day in the Life of a Medieval Prostitute: Quieter Than the Myths 🕯️ | Boring History for Sleep

Forget the shocking tales and crude legends. For many medieval prostitutes, daily life meant routine, rules, danger, negotiation, and quiet survival on the margins of society. Between curfews, church laws, illness, and constant judgment, their lives were shaped less by scandal than by endurance. A calm story about ordinary hours lived in an unforgiving world. Boring history for sleep – Soft stories about difficult lives.

The Most Perverted Pharaoh in History: The Horrific Story of Pepi II 💤 | Boring History for Sleep

Forget the image of divine kingship and eternal order. The reign of Pepi II is surrounded by disturbing rumors, whispered accusations, and a legacy clouded by scandal and decline. Ancient texts hint at behaviors that shocked even his own time, while Egypt slowly unraveled around a ruler who lived too long and ruled too quietly. A calm story about power, decay, and the dark side of divinity. Boring history for sleep – Soft stories about difficult lives.
