Boring Books for Bedtime Readings to Help You Sleep

  • Summary

  • Boring Books for Bedtime is a weekly sleep podcast in which we calmly, quietly read something rather boring to silence the brain chatter keeping you awake. Think Aristotle, Thoreau, and whoever wrote the 1897 Sears Catalog—mostly nonfiction, mostly old, a perfect blend of vaguely-but-not-too interesting. If you're on Team Sleepless, lie back, take a deep breath, and let us read you to rest.

  • The Complete Herbal and English Physician Enlarged, by Nicholas Culpeper, Part 1

    The Complete Herbal and English Physician Enlarged, by Nicholas Culpeper, Part 1
    Nov 18 2024

    Let’s, uh, improve our health with this compendium of questionable herbal advice from 1650. But first, the kind of sleep-inducing, self-congratulatory introduction in which only a 17th-century apothecary can excel. Delightful!

    Let’s hop in our sleepy wayback machine and relax with more from this remarkable little history of everything. This time, the Roman Empire, Hannibal, and the rise of the emperors. Quiescamus!

  • The Maine Woods, by Henry David Thoreau, Part 1

    The Maine Woods, by Henry David Thoreau, Part 1
    Nov 4 2024

    Let’s journey to sleep with Henry David Thoreau as he explores the back of beyond in Maine, ponders the fate of forests, visits some barely-there towns, and…gets accosted by politicians? Talk about timing!
