# Boring History for Sleep A podcast by Velvet. Welcome to Boring History to Sleep โ€” the only show where falling asleep in the middle is not only allowedโ€ฆ itโ€™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.
