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

episode Boring History For Sleep | The Strange Social World of Victorian Boarding 🕯️🥀 artwork

Boring History For Sleep | The Strange Social World of Victorian Boarding 🕯️🥀

🏚️🍵 In Victorian cities, not everyone lived in grand homes — most squeezed into boarding houses filled with strangers, secrets, and the faint smell of tea and coal smoke. Behind the lace curtains and polite smiles, people from every walk of life shared rooms, gossip, and the occasional scandal. It was a world of whispered ambitions, hidden romances, and the quiet desperation of trying to appear respectable. So close your eyes and step inside a creaking London house lit by gaslight, where every knock at the door came with a new story — and no one really knew who was sleeping in the next room. 👉 Boring History For Sleep | Secrets, society, and Victorian survival. 💤

Boring History For Sleep | Lost Empires of Ancient America 🌎🏺

🏺🌄 Long before European ships appeared on the horizon, vast civilizations were already thriving across the Americas. From the temple cities of the Maya and the roads of the Inca to the mound builders of North America, ancient societies built, traded, and dreamed in ways the world is still uncovering. So close your eyes and drift through forgotten cities buried in jungle and soil — echoes of a continent that had its own empires, myths, and genius long before history decided to notice. 👉 Boring History For Sleep | Lost worlds, quiet ruins, and the stories beneath the earth. 💤

Boring History For Sleep | What People Did After Dark in the Middle Ages 🌙🕯️ (You’d Rather Not Know)

💀🏚️ The Middle Ages had kings, knights, and cathedrals — but also entire neighborhoods that history politely ignored. In the narrow alleys of medieval cities, “houses of pleasure” were crowded, unsanitary, and constantly under the watch of church and crown. For many women and servants, it wasn’t sin or glamour — it was survival. So close your eyes and drift through the flickering candlelight of a medieval city after dark, where morals were loud, hygiene was optional, and safety was mostly imaginary. 👉 Boring History For Sleep | Poverty, politics, and the price of survival. 💤

Boring History For Sleep | The ENTIRE History of India🌏 (5,000 Years in One Nap)

🏺🌾 From the Indus Valley to independence, India’s story stretches farther than almost any on Earth. Empires rose and fell, religions were born, philosophers debated everything, and somehow—despite invasions, dynasties, and colonial chaos—civilization never stopped reinventing itself. So close your eyes and drift across five millennia of color, chaos, and creation—from ancient cities to modern dreams—because few places have ever contained so much history, and so little sleep. 👉 Boring History For Sleep | Timelines, temples, and timeless calm. 💤

Boring History For Sleep | Monsters, Magic & Madness: The Folklore of the Middle Ages 🐉🌑

👹🕯️ In the Middle Ages, the world was dark, cold, and full of things that probably weren’t real — but everyone believed them anyway. Witches, fairies, cursed forests, talking animals, and demons in disguise filled the imaginations (and nightmares) of medieval villagers. Every shadow could be a warning, every strange noise a sign that something unholy was nearby. So close your eyes and wander back to a time before science, when fear and faith danced by candlelight, and stories kept people awake — or safely inside. 👉 Boring History For Sleep | Myths, monsters, and medieval bedtime terror. 💤
