Trouble sleeping? Let me read you something boring. Three nights a week, I use a soothing voice to quietly share slow, factual content—usually from Wikipedia. No plot twists. No drama. Just calm, sleepy facts.

    Steampunk

    Clockwork gears, impractical goggles, and a lot of brass pipes make this alternate-history aesthetic the perfect sedative. Steampunk somehow blends Victorian fashion with speculative tech, and yet still manages to be relaxing enough for sleep or background bedtime noise. Ideal for fans of insomnia relief who enjoy a good monocle. Want More?
