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.#Pompeii #Vesuvius #DarkHistory #SleepStory #HistoricalFiction #DrowsyHistorian #AncientRome #ASMRHistory #CalmNarration #ImmersiveHistory #FallOfPompeii #HistoryForSleep #VolcanicEruption #SecondPersonStorytelling #ForgottenVoices

Om Podcasten

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.
