Bore You To Sleep - Sleep Stories for Adults

The name tells you everything you need to know about the philosophy here. Host Teddy created Bore You To Sleep from personal experience with sleepless nights and decided the best remedy was intentional, magnificent boredom. Each episode features calm, monotone readings of classic public domain books delivered in slow, measured English that's designed to quiet racing thoughts rather than stimulate them. The pacing is deliberately unhurried — sentences unfold at about half the speed of a normal audiobook, with pauses that stretch just long enough to let your eyelids get heavy. Teddy also incorporates elements of sleep hypnosis and relaxation technique into the readings, weaving in subtle cues that encourage your body to let go of tension. The podcast has built a loyal following among adults who've tried white noise machines and meditation apps without success. Episodes are free with a short ad at the beginning, and subscribers can access an ad-free feed through Spotify for a few dollars a month or support the show on Patreon. The back catalog covers a wide range of classic literature, so the reading material itself has genuine quality even if you're not meant to stay awake for it. The show updates regularly and has become a go-to recommendation in online insomnia communities. For people whose minds refuse to shut off at night, having something deliberately dull to focus on can be more effective than silence, and Teddy has turned that insight into a consistently reliable sleep aid.
