    What Colonial America Hygiene Was REALLY Like | Boring History For Sleep

    19/1/2026 | 42 mins.
    Cold Water, Rare Baths, and Routine — What Colonial America Hygiene Was REALLY Like explores the quiet, often uncomfortable reality of cleanliness in early American daily life. This slow, relaxing narration examines how colonists washed their bodies, cleaned their clothes, managed waste, and coped without modern plumbing, soap, or regular bathing. Hygiene was shaped by climate, labor demands, religious beliefs, and limited resources rather than comfort or luxury. Far from modern expectations, staying “clean” meant following simple routines that fit a demanding lifestyle. Designed for relaxation and sleep, this documentary avoids dramatization and instead offers a calm, realistic look at everyday hygiene in Colonial America.

    What It Was Like to Be a Colosseum Spectator in Ancient Rome | Boring History For Sleep

    18/1/2026 | 41 mins.
    Heat, Dust, and Endless Hours — What It Was Like to Be a Colosseum Spectator in Ancient Rome explores the quiet, often exhausting reality of attending games in the Roman Colosseum. This slow, relaxing narration focuses on early arrivals, strict seating by social class, crowded entrances, intense heat, lingering smells, and the long duration of public spectacles. Far from the cinematic version of Rome, most spectators experienced the Colosseum as a physically demanding and repetitive event woven into everyday life. Designed for relaxation and sleep, this documentary avoids dramatization and instead offers a calm, realistic look at how ordinary Romans experienced public entertainment as part of their social routine.
