    All About Dogs, by Charles Henry Lane, Part 2

    19/1/2026 | 50 mins.
    Tonight, let's snuggle up with man's best friend as we learn more about breeds of dogs. This time, more dogs used in the sporting life, including pointers, setters, and bloodhounds. Also, a rather long bit about otters from a circa-1600 book that our author found interesting, and why not. Follow your bliss, friends.

    Hoyle's Games Modernized, by Hoyle, Hoffmann and Bergholt, Part 1

    12/1/2026 | 53 mins.
    Let's deal ourselves some sleep with this classic instruction manual for all the games you have and haven't heard of. Tonight, the intricacies of All-Fours, Baccarat, and something called Bezique, which is so laughably complicated that I almost want to try it. Score!

    Ten Acres Enough, by Edmund Morris, Part 5

    05/1/2026 | 45 mins.
    Let's kick off a year of better sleep with more from this fan favorite. This time, we raise some of nature's best composters, pigs, and decide raising poultry is maybe something we do not want to do for…reasons. Also, an educated girl who can take care of herself is the best kind of girl. Sound advice from the 1860s!

    Winter Impressions from John Muir and Henry David Thoreau

    29/12/2025 | 52 mins.
    Let's sink into seasonal slumber with two essays by famed American naturalists. In the first, John Muir takes us to Tahoe in the winter, where he delights in its glacial-born beauties and his friend skis poorly. In the second, Thoreau regales us with tales of mischievous visitors to his cabin in Walden. Delightful!

About Boring Books for Bedtime Readings to Help You Sleep

Boring Books for Bedtime is a weekly, ad-free, AI-free 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 balance 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.
