Boring Books for Bedtime Readings to Help You Sleep by Sharon Handy

416 - Studying Art Abroad and How to Do It Cheaply, by Abigail May Alcott Niereker, Part 3 (CONCLUSION)

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.
