In tonight’s slow, grim descent through royal corridors and chamber pots, you’ll experience the full horror of what it meant to live — and die — in service to a palace that valued powder over hygiene, prayer over medicine, and perfume over plumbing.This immersive historical bedtime story pulls you through the stench, superstition, and slow collapse of a world too proud to admit it was already sick. You’re not a hero. You’re not even remembered. You’re just… there. Coughing in the walls while the nobility quietly escapes through the back door.#TudorHistory #PlagueHistory #MedievalSleepStory #DrowsyHistorian #DarkHistory #HistoricalHorror #SleepNarrative #HistoryPodcast #YouTubeSleepAid #HistoricalFictionVibes

You Wouldn’t Survive the Bronze Age Collapse | History For Sleep
Get early episodes & bonus perks on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DrowsyHistorianWelcome to the Bronze Age Collapse: a centuries-long nosedive into famine, war, disease, and the kind of cultural obliteration that makes archaeologists cry and economists lose sleep. One day there were palaces, international trade routes, and written records. The next, you're bartering sandals for moldy lentils while trying not to catch dysentery from your drinking ditch.This isn’t the fall of a single empire. It’s the unraveling of a dozen — all at once. And somehow, you’re stuck in the middle, too hungry to care and too tired to run.Lie back. Get comfortable. And let the quiet horror of systemic collapse lull you to sleep.#BronzeAgeCollapse #DrowsyHistorian #SleepStory #AncientHistory #CollapseOfCivilization #HistoricalSleepVideo #SecondPersonNarrative #FallOfEmpires #SeaPeoples #HistoryForSleep

Why You Wouldn’t Survive the D-Day Landing | History For Sleep
Get early episodes & bonus perks on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DrowsyHistorianYou are not a war hero. Not today. You're cold, soaked, and seasick — crammed inside a steel box with nothing but a jammed rifle, raw nerves, and a prayer you barely believe in. On June 6th, 1944, you hit Omaha Beach with thousands of others, and every inch forward is a crawl through chaos, smoke, and sand filled with the dead.This is not the D-Day of history books. This is the crawl. The wait. The failure of plans and the random cruelty of bullets. In this immersive sleep story, you become one of the many — anonymous, exhausted, and forgotten — surviving by inches and inertia alone.#wwii #dday #historyforsleep #drowsyhistorian #omahabeach #historicalbedtime #darkhistory #sleepstory #asmrhistory #warstory #sleepaid

You’re Trapped on the Roof During the LA Riots (And No One’s Coming to Help) | History For Sleep
Get early episodes & bonus perks on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DrowsyHistorianYou’re not a hero. You’re a Korean-American teenager on a rooftop in 1992 Los Angeles — holding a rifle you barely know how to use, watching your family’s store while the city burns and the police drive past without stopping. You didn’t ask to be here. But no one’s coming. So you stay.This video explores the real story behind the so-called “Rooftop Koreans” — not the meme, not the myth, but the quiet, exhausted truth of immigrant resilience, abandonment, and the brutal cost of being forgotten in a crisis. Through immersive narration, we walk through the fear, tension, and bitter humor of the LA Riots from a perspective rarely centered — not as action movie fantasy, but as lived experience.#LARiots #RooftopKorean #ForgottenHistory #ImmigrantStories #SleepHistory #CalmNarration #BoringHistory #1992LA #Koreatown #HistoricalSleepStories
History For Sleep delivers slow, calm, and slightly unsettling historical storytelling that makes dozing off educationally depressing. Whether you're hearing about plagues, peasant life, or papal trials, it's all narrated at a soothing pace with a dry wit designed to lull you into unconsciousness.
Brought to you by the Drowsy Historian, each episode is 1–2 hours of immersive bedtime history with just enough absurd detail to keep you listening — until you aren’t.
