      <title>Books | Funny History for Sleep</title>
      <description>Fall asleep as we explore the funny history of books. 

Why did humans draw on cave walls? When did humans first begin reading? When were the first books made and how? The history of books takes us across centuries and continents.

We'll discover this and much more tonight. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. 

This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)

      <title>William Shakespeare | Funny History for Sleep</title>
      <description>Fall asleep as we explore the funny history of William Shakespeare. 

Did Shakespeare actually write the plays he's credited with? How did he become so famous, and why is he still so popular? The history of Shakespeare may not be as dramatic as his plays, but it is perhaps boring enough to help you sleep tonight.

We'll discover this and much more tonight. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. 

This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)

      <itunes:summary>Fall asleep as we explore the funny history of William Shakespeare. 

Did Shakespeare actually write the plays he's credited with? How did he become so famous, and why is he still so popular? The history of Shakespeare may not be as dramatic as his plays, but it is perhaps boring enough to help you sleep tonight.

We'll discover this and much more tonight. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. 

This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)

      <title>Ancient Rome | Funny History for Sleep</title>
      <description>Fall asleep as we explore the funny history of Ancient Rome. 

Was it built in a day? Did anyone notice when it was finished? The history of Rome is story beloved in the modern world. But it wasn't all marble columns, organized government, and glitz and glamour. In fact, for many centuries, it was arguably quite boring.

We'll discover this and much more tonight. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. 

This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)

      <itunes:summary>Fall asleep as we explore the funny history of Ancient Rome. 

Was it built in a day? Did anyone notice when it was finished? The history of Rome is story beloved in the modern world. But it wasn't all marble columns, organized government, and glitz and glamour. In fact, for many centuries, it was arguably quite boring.

We'll discover this and much more tonight. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. 

This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)

      <title>Cats | Funny History for Sleep</title>
      <description>Fall asleep as we explore the funny history and evolution of cats. 

The history of cats is rather unique, as they've gone from quiet hunters to internet influencers. They've always held a certain mystique...perhaps that's why they were treated like gods in ancient Egypt...and how they somehow control their human "masters."

We'll discover this and much more tonight. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. 

This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)

      <title>Bedtime Stories | Funny History for Sleep</title>
      <description>Fall asleep as we explore the funny history of bedtime stories. Humans have told stories for a very long time, at least as long as we could gossip about our neighbors. And story time around a campfire underneath the stars was a long tradition...but where did it come from and why?

We'll discover this and much more tonight. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. 

This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)

      <itunes:summary>Fall asleep as we explore the funny history of bedtime stories. Humans have told stories for a very long time, at least as long as we could gossip about our neighbors. And story time around a campfire underneath the stars was a long tradition...but where did it come from and why?

We'll discover this and much more tonight. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. 

This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)

      <description>Fall asleep as we explore the funny history of pajamas (aka pyjamas). For a very long time, humans went on without any pajamas whatsoever. How did pajamas go from non-existent to a bedtime staple, and what did people actually sleep in throughout the different eras of history? 

We'll discover this and much more tonight. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland.

      <title>Medieval Sleep | Funny History for Sleep</title>
      <description>Fall asleep as we explore the funny history of sleep in medieval times. The Middle Ages (or medieval period) lasted from the fall of the Roman Empire around 500 AD to the start of the Renaissance around 1500 AD. So even though its known for being as less thriving part of history, it still accounts for 1000 years of sleep. How did people sleep during this time period, and what were their bedtime routines? We'll discover this and much more tonight. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. 

This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)

        <![CDATA[<p>Fall asleep as we explore the funny history of sleep in medieval times. The Middle Ages (or medieval period) lasted from the fall of the Roman Empire around 500 AD to the start of the Renaissance around 1500 AD. So even though its known for being as less thriving part of history, it still accounts for 1000 years of sleep. How did people sleep during this time period, and what were their bedtime routines? We'll discover this and much more tonight. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. </p>
<p>This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)</p>

      <title>Hair Salons | Funny History for Sleep</title>
      <description>Fall into peaceful dreams as we explore the funny history of hair salons. How did humans first come to trust someone using scissors and knives so close to their head, all while gossiping and sharing the intimate details of their lives? We will discover this curious part of society, from the beginnings of grooming hair.  So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland.

      <title>Glasses | Funny History for Sleep</title>
      <description>Fall into peaceful dreams as we explore the funny history of glasses...Yes, bifocals...spectacles. From many years spent squinting, to scientific experiments refracting light, to sleek modern frames, we'll see how glasses came to be and evolved over the centuries.  So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. 

This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)

      <title>Trees | Funny History for Sleep</title>
      <description>Fall into peaceful dreams as we explore the funny history of trees.  They provide shade, food, and oxygen. But they don't move or do much at all. Plus, trees have been around for millions of years, which means we have a particularly long, dull story tonight. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. 

This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)

      <title>Clothes | Funny History for Sleep</title>
      <description>Fall into peaceful dreams as we explore the funny history of clothes.  Although they're a common barrier between our bodies and the outside world, it wasn't always that way. And what clothing humans wore has changed dramatically over the years, for better or worse. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. 

This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)

      <title>Park Benches | Funny History for Sleep</title>
      <description>Fall into peaceful dreams as we explore the funny history of park benches.  These unremarkable seats have seen countless awkward dates, unfinished sandwiches, and much more, all of which we'll explore tonight. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland.

      <title>Royal Bedtime Routines | Funny History for Sleep</title>
      <description>Fall into peaceful dreams as we explore the funny history of royal bedtime routines.  We begin in Ancient Egypt to learn how the pharoahs slept, and venture all the way to the luxurious bedtime enjoyed by kings and queens of royal families. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. 

This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)

        <![CDATA[<p>Fall into peaceful dreams as we explore the funny history of royal bedtime routines.  We begin in Ancient Egypt to learn how the pharoahs slept, and venture all the way to the luxurious bedtime enjoyed by kings and queens of royal families. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. </p>

      <title>Maps | Funny History for Sleep</title>
      <description>Fall into peaceful dreams as we explore the history of maps.  We begin thousands of years ago as ancient humans begin to draw landscapes, and make our way to the present day with modern humans following GPS directions and still getting lost. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. 

This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)

      <title>American Transportation | Funny History for Sleep</title>
      <description>Tonight, fall into peaceful dreams as we explore the history of transportation in the United States of America.  We start roughly 15,000 years ago as ancient humans cross a land bridge on foot, and venture all the way to the modern day traffic on I-95. Along the way, we'll see all kinds of transportation: horses, cars, trains, and planes. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. 

This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)

      <title>Humorously Dull History of Sleep</title>
      <description>Tonight, fall into peaceful dreams as we explore the history of sleep itself.  We venture back to ancient Mesopotamia, where we find some of the first documented accounts of sleep, and follow the human dream-state to the modern day. Enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. 

This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)

We know Leonardo da Vinci painted it, but how, and what has been the journey of this work since its creation? Enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. 

This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)

      <itunes:summary>Tonight, fall into a peaceful sleep as we explore a timeless piece of art... the Mona Lisa. We know Leonardo da Vinci painted it, but how, and what has been the journey of this work since its creation? Enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. 

This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)

Production Note: Ad breaks are turned off so that you can relax without interruption.

      <title>Dogs | Funny History for Sleep</title>
      <description>Tonight, fall into a peaceful sleep as we explore the history of dogs. Have they always been humanity's best friend? Whether you're a dog lover or not, this is the perfect topic for sleep. Enjoy some boring history and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. 

This is not a captivating history story. Nor should it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)

      <title>Art | Funny History for Sleep</title>
      <description>Tonight, fall into a peaceful sleep as we explore the history of the art, from cave paintings to Picasso to the modern day. It's the perfect topic for sleep. Enjoy some boring history and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. 

This is not a captivating history story. Nor should it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)

      <itunes:summary>Tonight, fall into a peaceful sleep learning about the history of Irish wool, in which many sheep will do very little. Learn some history and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland. 

This is not a captivating history story. Nor should it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)
