Ease into rest with this calm bedtime reading as Benjamin gently explores insomnia, the challenges it brings, and the history of how people have understood sleeplessness. You’ll learn about the causes, cultural perspectives, and approaches to easing insomnia throughout time. Benjamin’s soothing cadence transforms this often-frustrating topic into peaceful storytelling that quiets the mind and reduces stress. This isn’t whispering or hypnosis—just gentle, fact-filled narration designed to guide you into sleep. Press play, release the weight of the day, and drift into slumber as you learn about insomnia itself.
