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

Worst Scandals of Medieval England | 👑💀 Boring History For Sleep

👑💀 Medieval England was full of knights, castles, and chivalry — at least on paper. In reality, the Middle Ages were packed with shocking scandals: treacherous nobles, secret affairs, corrupt churchmen, and royal disasters that made the entire kingdom whisper. These stories spread through taverns and courts alike, reminding everyone that power rarely came with good behavior. So close your eyes and drift back to a time when gossip could topple dynasties, honor was optional, and scandal was just another part of everyday medieval life. 👉 Boring History For Sleep | Rumors, betrayal, and softly spoken medieval chaos. 💤

Bedlam: When Mental Illness Had No Mercy 😵‍💫🏥

🏛️🕯️ Long before modern psychology, therapy, or compassion, there was Bedlam — Europe’s most infamous asylum and a symbol of how little the world understood the human mind. Founded in medieval London, it became a place of fear, confinement, and spectacle, where illness was confused with sin, and suffering was often treated as entertainment. Tonight, close your eyes and step into the echoing halls of history’s first asylum — a quiet reminder of how far mental health care has come, and how painful the journey once was. 👉 Boring History For Sleep | Dark institutions, human stories, and the slow awakening of compassion. 💤

The Great Flood That Ended the Ice Age

🌊🧊 At the end of the last Ice Age, melting glaciers released unimaginable volumes of water, reshaping continents, coastlines, and human memory itself. Massive floods carved valleys, drowned ancient landscapes, and may have inspired the world’s earliest flood myths — echoes of a catastrophe too large to forget. Tonight, drift back to a colder Earth, where ice gave way to water, shorelines vanished, and the modern world quietly began beneath rising seas. 👉 Boring History For Sleep | Ice, water, and the slow end of an ancient world. 💤

Boring History For Sleep | Medieval Hygiene: Dirt, Disease & Bad Ideas 🧼⚰️

🪣🕯️ Medieval hygiene was less about staying clean and more about not getting noticed. Baths were rare, water was suspicious, perfume replaced soap, and most people believed illness came from bad air rather than bacteria. From shared bathhouses to chamber pots and questionable medical advice, staying “clean” in the Middle Ages was a daily gamble. So close your eyes and drift into a world of candlelight, wool clothing, and very low hygiene standards — where smelling bad was normal, and surviving was the real goal. 👉 Boring History For Sleep | Dirt, delusion, and medieval daily life. 💤

Meth: A Dark History of Science, War & Addiction 🕯️Boring History For Sleep

💊🕯️ What began as a laboratory experiment and a wartime stimulant slowly transformed into one of the most destructive substances of the modern era.

Tonight, drift through the slow unfolding of a drug that reshaped medicine, warfare, and society — not with chaos, but with calm reflection and historical distance. 👉 Boring History For Sleep | Dark histories, told softly. 💤
