Find your most comfortable position, and let the world above the waves gently fade away. Tonight, we are granted a rare and quiet invitation to step aboard the most marvelous vessel ever to sail the deep. We descend into the pages of Jules Verne's "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," where Captain Nemo himself is our soft-spoken guide. He will lead us on a tranquil tour of his legendary submarine, the Nautilus. We will drift through its elegant, silent salons, marvel at the treasures of its museum, and peer into the heart of its ingenious machinery. There are no storms or battles here, only the low hum of the engine, the soft glow of electric light, and the calming, measured description of a self-contained world beneath the sea. Let the meticulous details of library shelves, paneled walls, and gleaming brass fittings lull your mind. The gentle rocking of the deep current and the hypnotic recitation of nautical wonders will carry you safely into a restful, dream-filled sleep. So close your eyes, and let the Nautilus take you on a journey to slumber. Find Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea by Jules Vernehttps://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/164 Supporting Sleepy Time TalesIf you would like to support my work and help keep the podcast available and for free, there are several ways you can support the show.·        You can support the show as a supporter on Patreon and receive a host of bonuses including Patron only episodes and special edits https://www.patreon.com/sleepytimetales·        If you’re enjoying Sleepy Time Tales and would like to make a financial contribution, but would rather not commit to a monthly payment then you can throw a tip in the jar at https://ko-fi.com/sleepytimetales PatreonSleep Tight PatronsJessChuckRobertaTraciCarlaJosephAYAmyJacqueAbbieGinaPlease ShareIf you’re enjoying the show, and finding it helps you sleep despite the stresses and strains of your life, the absolute best thing you can do is share it with your friends, families, acquaintances, cellmates etc. Anyone who needs a good night’s sleep might benefit.So please share it with the people in your life, whether in person or on social media.  Find The ShowWebsite: https://sleepytimetales.net/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sleepytimetalesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/sleepytimetalespodcast/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/SleepyTimeTales Merch: https://sleepy-time-tales.dashery.com/ Project Gutenberg Terms of Usehttps://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:Terms_of_Use

Settle in, get comfortable, and let your mind drift back to a time of quiet canals and whispered fortunes. Tonight’s tale is a gentle recounting of a most peculiar chapter in history, drawn from the pages of Charles Mackay's "Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions." We'll wander through the lush gardens of the 17th century Netherlands, where a simple, beautiful flower—the tulip—captivated an entire nation. We'll speak of rare, flamed petals with names like 'Semper Augustus' and 'Viceroy,' and hear of a world where a single bulb could be traded for a grand house on the Amsterdam canals. There will be no frantic excitement here, only the soft, rhythmic telling of how markets bloomed and faded, like a flower itself. A story of collective dreams and quiet lessons, all told in a slow, measured pace to ease you into a deep and restful sleep. So close your eyes, and let the history of tulipomania lull you into peaceful slumber. Story (01:30) Find Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowdshttps://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/24518  Supporting Sleepy Time TalesIf you would like to support my work and help keep the podcast available and for free, there are several ways you can support the show.·        You can support the show as a supporter on Patreon and receive a host of bonuses including Patron only episodes and special edits https://www.patreon.com/sleepytimetales·        If you’re enjoying Sleepy Time Tales and would like to make a financial contribution, but would rather not commit to a monthly payment then you can throw a tip in the jar at https://ko-fi.com/sleepytimetales PatreonSleep Tight PatronsJessChuckMystiRobertaTraciSandraCarlaJosephAYAmyJacqueAbbieGinaPlease ShareIf you’re enjoying the show, and finding it helps you sleep despite the stresses and strains of your life, the absolute best thing you can do is share it with your friends, families, acquaintances, cellmates etc. Anyone who needs a good night’s sleep might benefit.So please share it with the people in your life, whether in person or on social media.  Find The ShowWebsite: https://sleepytimetales.net/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sleepytimetalesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/sleepytimetalespodcast/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/SleepyTimeTales Merch: https://sleepy-time-tales.dashery.com/ Project Gutenberg Terms of Usehttps://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:Terms_of_Use

This episode features a particularly unexciting reading from Samuel Sidney's Rides on Railways, where we meander through endless details about engine repairs, rivet counts, and the thrilling scenery of Wolverton's railway workshops. Imagine the most monotonous train journey you've ever taken - the kind where the rhythmic clatter of wheels lulls you into a stupor. That's what this is, but without any risk of missing your stop. We'll plod through descriptions of Peterborough's stations, Northampton's coal depots, and other locations so thoroughly described that you'll be snoozing before we reach the second-class carriages. There are no surprises here. No dramatic twists. Just the soothing, sleep-inducing recitation of how steam locomotives were maintained in 1851, delivered in a flat, unhurried tone designed to bore even the most dedicated railway enthusiasts into a peaceful slumber. Turn down the lights, settle under the covers, and let the dullest train ride of your life carry you off to dreamland. (Sleep well, and mind the gap... between consciousness and sleep.) #SleepPodcast #BoringAudiobook #TrainStoriesForSleep #InsomniaRelief #VictorianRailways #WhiteNoise #NothingHappens Find Rides on Railways by Samuel Sidney https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/13271 Supporting Sleepy Time TalesIf you would like to support my work and help keep the podcast available and for free, there are several ways you can support the show.·        You can support the show as a supporter on Patreon and receive a host of bonuses including Patron only episodes and special edits https://www.patreon.com/sleepytimetales·        If you’re enjoying Sleepy Time Tales and would like to make a financial contribution, but would rather not commit to a monthly payment then you can throw a tip in the jar at paypal.me/sleepytimetalesPatreonSleep Tight PatronsJessChris & MoyaChuckMystiRobertaCharityTraciEmilyMoyaBrianSandraCarlaJosephAYGregPlease ShareIf you’re enjoying the show, and finding it helps you sleep despite the stresses and strains of your life, the absolute best thing you can do is share it with your friends, families, acquaintances, cellmates etc. Anyone who needs a good night’s sleep might benefit.So please share it with the people in your life, whether in person or on social media.  Find The ShowWebsite: https://sleepytimetales.net/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sleepytimetalesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/sleepytimetalespodcast/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/SleepyTimeTales Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/?ref_id=25247Project Gutenberg Terms of Usehttps://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:Terms_of_Use
