You're in Pompeii When the Volcano Erupts
Get early episodes & bonus perks on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DrowsyHistorianTonight, you're not a Roman senator or a legendary survivor. You're just another ordinary resident of Pompeii — sunburned, exhausted, and entirely unprepared for the day your city vanishes beneath ash.In this immersive, slow-burning historical sleep story, we follow the final hours of Pompeii not through myth or marble, but through the eyes of someone caught in the middle — choking, stumbling, too human to be heroic. From the first strange shadows in the sky to the moment the pyroclastic flow silences everything, this story traces the collapse not just of a city, but of every illusion its people clung to.If you've ever wondered what it really felt like to live — and die — in the shadow of Vesuvius, you're in the right place.Slow narration. Dry humor. Quiet horror. And no miracles.🛏️ Drowsy Historian’s Favorite Sleep ToolsLooking to upgrade your nighttime routine?
