Boring Books for Bedtime Readings to Help You Sleep

Sharon Handy

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.

    How can you say books like Flatland, HG Wells’s Short History of the World, The Voyage of the Bounty, The Origin of Species, or the writings of John Muir and HD Thoreau are boring?

If we knew one another, I’m sure we’d be friends. 🙏 Thanks and blessings, Sandra Bush, Parkersburg, WV (in the beautiful MidOhio River Va... more
