Sleepy History - Boring History to Fall Asleep

by•
Every sleep app tries to be soothing. We tried to be boring. Sleepy History plays calm, narrated history — Roman grain shipments, medieval tax law, Victorian drainage acts. Interesting enough to follow. Dull enough to lose. No ads at 3am. No autoplay into a plane crash. Just stories you'll never finish.

Hey Product Hunt šŸ‘‹, Maker here. Every sleep app is trying to relax you. We're trying to bore you. My brain decides 1am is the perfect time to replay an argument from 2019. White noise did nothing. Meditation apps made me irritable. What worked was a YouTube video about Roman grain logistics. Out in fifteen minutes. The idea isn't mine, I stole it from YouTube. But YouTube blasts a mattress ad at 3am and autoplays you into a plane crash. So I built it properly. Calm narrated history. Sleep timer. Dark only. No ads. Paced to lose you, not hook you. There's a free tier. If you like it and don't want to pay, comment and I'll give you free monthly access. No strings. Curious what's the most boring thing you've ever fallen asleep to. Here all day. Roast it. — Ayush
