Stay ConnectedBoring Books for Bedtime is a weekly, ad-free, AI-free 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 balance 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.

In this newly remastered episode, let's rest beneath the trees with one of the first environmentalists. His relaxed rambles from Indiana to Florida contain quiet caves, sleepy groves, and a rucksack full of rhapsodies about nature's beauties.
***Boring Books for Bedtime will be on break through September, so enjoy some remastered episodes from the wayback. We'll return with new readings for sleep in October!***

In this newly remastered episode, rule over sleep with the pithy prose of Machiavelli. But first, a very long introduction to our author and the twisted papal politics of 15th century Italy. Yawn!
