Why You Wouldn’t Survive the D-Day Landing | History For Sleep
Get early episodes & bonus perks on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DrowsyHistorianYou are not a war hero. Not today. You're cold, soaked, and seasick — crammed inside a steel box with nothing but a jammed rifle, raw nerves, and a prayer you barely believe in. On June 6th, 1944, you hit Omaha Beach with thousands of others, and every inch forward is a crawl through chaos, smoke, and sand filled with the dead.This is not the D-Day of history books. This is the crawl. The wait. The failure of plans and the random cruelty of bullets. In this immersive sleep story, you become one of the many — anonymous, exhausted, and forgotten — surviving by inches and inertia alone.#wwii #dday #historyforsleep #drowsyhistorian #omahabeach #historicalbedtime #darkhistory #sleepstory #asmrhistory #warstory #sleepaid

You’re Trapped on the Roof During the LA Riots (And No One’s Coming to Help) | History For Sleep
Get early episodes & bonus perks on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DrowsyHistorianYou’re not a hero. You’re a Korean-American teenager on a rooftop in 1992 Los Angeles — holding a rifle you barely know how to use, watching your family’s store while the city burns and the police drive past without stopping. You didn’t ask to be here. But no one’s coming. So you stay.This video explores the real story behind the so-called “Rooftop Koreans” — not the meme, not the myth, but the quiet, exhausted truth of immigrant resilience, abandonment, and the brutal cost of being forgotten in a crisis. Through immersive narration, we walk through the fear, tension, and bitter humor of the LA Riots from a perspective rarely centered — not as action movie fantasy, but as lived experience.#LARiots #RooftopKorean #ForgottenHistory #ImmigrantStories #SleepHistory #CalmNarration #BoringHistory #1992LA #Koreatown #HistoricalSleepStories

Through quiet, immersive storytelling, we trace the daily horrors of forced labor, mutilation, starvation, and spiritual collapse — all in service of wealth that was never theirs.This is not a tale of rebellion or glory. It’s a record of what it cost to survive. Of what it meant to be erased — slowly, efficiently, and absolutely.#DarkHistory #SleepStory #Colonialism #KingLeopold #Congo #HistoricalNarration #HistoryForSleep #Imperialism #YouWouldn’tSurvive #BrutalHistory

It’s not about Washington. It’s about the footsoldier who never got paid.Lie back. Get comfortable. And prepare to regret your enlistment.#continentalarmy #americanrevolution #sleepstory #darkhistory #valleyforge #drowsyhistorian #historypodcast #revolutionarywar #sleepvideo #historicalnarrative

Why You Wouldn’t Survive the Spanish Conquest of the Aztec Empire | History For Sleep
Get early episodes & bonus perks on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DrowsyHistorianYou’re not a warrior. Not a noble. Not a name anyone will remember. You’re an ordinary person in the greatest city on earth — until it begins to die.In this slow, second-person historical descent, you live through the Spanish conquest of Tenochtitlan as an Aztec commoner. You sell maize. You pray. You watch strangers arrive from the sea with steel, disease, and a god you don’t recognize. You lose your gods. Your name. Your voice. And in the end, history forgets you.This isn’t a story of heroes or villains. This is a story of erasure. Of slow-burning horror. Of the silence that follows conquest.If you’re still awake by the end, thank you for remembering what history chose not to.#AztecHistory #SpanishConquest #Tenochtitlan #SleepStory #DarkHistory #DrowsyHistorian #Colonialism #HistoryForSleep #HistoricalFiction #YouWouldntSurvive
History For Sleep delivers slow, calm, and slightly unsettling historical storytelling that makes dozing off educationally depressing. Whether you're hearing about plagues, peasant life, or papal trials, it's all narrated at a soothing pace with a dry wit designed to lull you into unconsciousness.
Brought to you by the Drowsy Historian, each episode is 1–2 hours of immersive bedtime history with just enough absurd detail to keep you listening — until you aren’t.
