In this Boring History For Sleep journey, you’ll experience what it was really like to catch the Black Death in 1348 — fever dreams, exploding lymph nodes, questionable treatments involving chickens, and a distinct lack of soap. Narrated in a slow, dry, sleep-friendly tone, this historical journey combines dark humor, vivid detail, and historical accuracy to help you learn… while you try not to gag.

Forget sanitized textbook summaries. This is the plague as it was: sweaty, terrifying, and deeply inconvenient.
