Why the Dark Ages Weren’t Really That Dark 🕯️ | Boring History for Sleep
2026-03-10 | 3h 52 mins.
Forget the idea of a world lost in ignorance and endless decline. The so-called Dark Ages were also a time of learning, cultural exchange, innovation, and slow rebuilding after the fall of empires.

About Boring History for Sleep

Welcome to Boring History to Sleep — the only show where falling asleep in the middle is not only allowed… it’s encouraged.
