About Boring History for Sleep
Welcome to Boring History to Sleep — the only show where falling asleep in the middle is not only allowed… it’s encouraged. Each episode takes you on a slow, uneventful stroll through the most yawn-worthy corners of the past: treaties nobody remembers, kings who ruled for three weeks, and revolutions that never really got started. Delivered in the softest, most sleep-inducing voice we could find, this show is like warm milk with a side of ancient trivia. Perfect for insomniacs, history nerds, and anyone who thinks a Roman tax policy discussion sounds like a lullaby. Lay back, close your eyes

And inside the vault, 16 panels of porcelain enamel, a material chosen because it does not degrade, does not fade, and does not care about humidity, on which are reproduced the text of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, a biography of Borglum, an explanation of how the mountain was carved, and a statement of why those four presidents were selected.
