Studying Art Abroad and How to Do It Cheaply, by Abigail May Alcott Nieriker, Part 2
Let’s relax with more from this wonderful guide to studying art in Europe.

The Complete Herbal and English Physician Enlarged, by Nicholas Culpeper, Part 1
Let’s, uh, improve our health with this compendium of questionable herbal advice from 1650. But first, the kind of sleep-inducing, self-congratulatory introduction in which only a 17th-century apothecary can excel. Delightful! Help us stay ad-free and 100% listener supported!

A Short History of the World, by H.G. Wells, Part 8

The Maine Woods, by Henry David Thoreau, Part 1
Let’s journey to sleep with Henry David Thoreau as he explores the back of beyond in Maine, ponders the fate of forests, visits some barely-there towns, and…gets accosted by politicians?

The Book of Werewolves, by Sabine Baring-Gould, Part 3
Let’s celebrate the spooky season with more from this history of lycanthropy and a long chapter of wolfish folktales. Bears, hares, and dogs drinking cider are also mentioned.

About 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.
