    If you're lying awake tonight, let the slow, droning account of 19th-century steam trains rock you to sleep. This episode features a particularly unexciting reading from Samuel Sidney's Rides on Railways, where we meander through endless details about engine repairs, rivet counts, and the thrilling scenery of Wolverton's railway workshops.

    Imagine the most monotonous train journey you've ever taken - the kind where the rhythmic clatter of wheels lulls you into a stupor. That's what this is, but without any risk of missing your stop. We'll plod through descriptions of Peterborough's stations, Northampton's coal depots, and other locations so thoroughly described that you'll be snoozing before we reach the second-class carriages.

    There are no surprises here. No dramatic twists. Just the soothing, sleep-inducing recitation of how steam locomotives were maintained in 1851, delivered in a flat, unhurried tone designed to bore even the most dedicated railway enthusiasts into a peaceful slumber.

    Turn down the lights, settle under the covers, and let the dullest train ride of your life carry you off to dreamland.

    (Sleep well, and mind the gap... between consciousness and sleep.)

  • Step into the quiet aftermath of a gathering where unspoken tensions linger in the air. This week’s Sleepy Time Story brings you Virginia Woolf’s Night and Day.

    As the guests depart, the real drama begins—subtle glances, veiled confessions, and the quiet power struggles between men and women take center stage. Let Woolf’s rich prose and keen observations lull you into relaxation as you drift into slumber, wrapped in the elegance of early 20th-century manners and unspoken desires.

    Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and let the whispers of post-party revelations carry you away to dreamland. Sweet dreams.

  • Tonight, drift back in time to the golden sands of Ancient Egypt, where the Nile’s gentle currents shaped lives and homes for both commoners and nobles.

    In this soothing episode, we explore the quiet beauty of Egyptian dwellings—from the sunbaked mudbrick houses of workers to the grand villas adorned with lush gardens and cooling courtyards. Discover the clever construction methods that kept these homes cool under the desert sun and the simple, harmonious designs that made them havens of rest.

    Let the whispers of archaeologists and the soft rustle of papyrus lull you into a peaceful slumber, dreaming of palm-shaded streets and starry desert skies.

  • Hi friends. Unfortunately my chest and voice are still wrecked from having the flu so I can’t record anything that people would want to listen to. So here’s the second part of 2023’s Halloween reading.

    Be warned that traditional Halloween traditions may be a bit disturbing, but I left out the nasty stuff. This spooky episode shouldn’t leave you sleepless.

    We continue the exploration of how pagan traditions were subsumed into Christianity, and how even some Christian traditions began to be viewed negatively after this association was created.

    We also finish off with a few fun traditions of regions like Brittany as we say goodbye to this particular book.

  • Sorry friends, back to school time means my daughter has brought home a fun new illness which means I have no voice or energy, so I’m pulling this weird one out of the archive.

    Be warned that traditional Halloween traditions may be a bit disturbing, but I left out the nasty stuff. This spooky episode shouldn’t leave you sleepless.

    Learn some of the traditions and tales of continental Europe, including the surprising revelation that Britain was considered to be the ‘Land of the Dead’ by communities on the Channel coast of France. As the mysterious land they could see on clear days was otherwise unknown to them.

    Learn about how pagan traditions became ‘evil’ and which ones were adopted by Christianity.

  • A century old Astronomy text book is a fascinating thing. It’s amazing to see what was known 100 years ago, and what was still speculation based on very logical application of physics.

    As you fall asleep you will learn about how it was believed the sun produces heat, how long it will continue to shine, and about the structure of the solar system.
