Boring History for Sleep

Boring History for Sleep

Velvet

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

Listen to the last episode:

Forget chocolates, roses, and cheerful cards. The real history of Valentine’s Day is tangled with execution, forbidden love, religious rituals, and stories that are far darker than the holiday suggests. What began in violence and uncertainty slowly transformed into a celebration of romance, while its origins faded into silence. A calm story about love built on uneasy foundations.
