Episode Description

Welcome to this Boring History For Sleep session. Tonight, we uncover the arduous reality of life in the Industrial Revolution. This History Documentary for Sleep is a relaxing sleep story designed as bedtime stories for grown-ups. Journey back to the soot-covered streets of 19th-century England, where the factory whistle, not the sun, dictated the rhythm of life. From the deafening roar of spinning looms to the 12-hour workdays of Victorian factory workers, we explore the mundane but grueling details of the steam age. Let the steady, slow-paced history of coal, iron, and the "Knocker-Uppers" who woke the city guide you into a deep, restorative sleep
