"Boring History For Sleep | The Sleep Routines of Victorian Insomniacs"
Welcome to another gentle journey into the strange corners of the past—tonight, we explore the curious world of Victorian insomnia. Long before sleep apps and blackout curtains, Victorians wrestled with their own sleepless nights… and their remedies were anything but ordinary.

In this two-hour bedtime story, you’ll drift through gaslit bedrooms, half-forgotten medical advice, and the midnight rituals of both high society and overworked servants. From laudanum-laced tea to whispered prayers and sleep corsets, we uncover how people in the 19th century navigated the long, anxious hours between dusk and dawn.

Told in a slow, cozy voice with soft ambient textures, this episode is perfect for relaxing, unwinding, or dozing off entirely.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for being awake at 3 A.M., you’re not alone—and you might just be following a tradition older than alarm clocks.
