How To See The British Museum in Four Visits, Part 3
Let’s continue our sleepy tour of the zoological collections of the British Museum and discover the wonders first being seen by the general public circa 1850. This time, reptiles, the fauna of Great Britain, and some philosophy about our place in the history of living things. Because of course that’s included in a 19th century book.

Robert's Rules of Order, by Major Henry Robert, Part 1
Let’s relax with one of the most boring reads I’ve ever encountered, a minutely detailed guide to the internal workings of legislative assemblies. Why, one might wonder how anything ever gets done at all. Motion to sleep, seconded! Help us stay ad-free and 100% listener supported!

Manual of Egyptian Archaeology and Guide to Antiquities in Egypt, by Gaston Maspero (Part 7)
Let’s relax with another sleepy stroll across the sands of time to ancient Egypt. This time, we finish our overview of tombs and learn about Egyptian painting conventions, including cat-based satire. It never gets old! Maspero has a marvelous way of bringing these images to life, and I think you'll love his descriptions. Help us stay ad-free and 100% listener supported!

Our Cats and All About Them, by Harrison Weir (Part 3)
Let’s kick off a new year of sleep with more from this appreciative guide to the magical cat. This time, shorthaired tortoiseshells and tabbies, plus a touch of my favorite—word etymologies!

Over Boring Books for Bedtime Readings to Help You Sleep
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.
