  • Bored but not sleepy

    I don’t think it put me to sleep but it certainly bored me to death.

  • Exactly what I needed!

    I needed something to help me put my “overactive brain squirrels” to bed. This was the answer. I sleep to this every night and it’s very soothing and I find myself just ever so slightly interested in the history part of it; just enough to not be bored, but also just boring enough to not keep me awake. 5 stars!
