Boring Books for Bedtime

Boring Books for Bedtime

by

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.
