About this listen

 Welcome to Boring Tasks for Sleep, where we help you fall asleep by narrating the most peaceful, mundane tasks imaginable.

Each episode walks you through a simple, repetitive task in meticulous detail. Sorting buttons by size and color. Cataloging dusty books in an old library. Matching socks fresh from the dryer. Organizing seeds in a garden shed.

These aren't exciting stories with plot twists. They're intentionally boring, methodical, and soothing - designed to give your racing mind something gentle to focus on while your body relaxes into sleep.

Why boring works: When you can't sleep, your mind races with worries, to-do lists, and random thoughts. Traditional sleep meditations tell you to "clear your mind" - nearly impossible when you're anxious. We take a different approach: give your mind something peacefully mundane to think about instead.

The tasks are detailed enough to hold your attention away from anxious thoughts, but boring enough that you'll drift off naturally. Most listeners never hear the end of an episode. That's the goal.

What you'll find:
  • 30-40 minute episodes
  • Slow, gentle narration without sudden sounds
  • Real, relatable tasks - nothing fantastical
  • New episodes every Friday
Perfect for:
  • Insomnia and trouble falling asleep
  • Racing thoughts and anxiety at bedtime
  • Anyone who finds regular bedtime stories too engaging
  • ASMR and meditation fans
Each task is narrated with care, patience, and excruciating detail. The kind that makes your eyelids heavy. The kind that finally lets you let go.

Subscribe and join thousands who've found peace in the most boring tasks imaginable. Your best sleep is one mundane task away.

    Tonight's task: Counting Sheep

    Stand by an old wooden gate as sixty sheep come in from the pasture at sunset. Count them one by one as they pass through, each one calm and unhurried. 35 minutes of intentionally boring, peaceful narration to help you fall asleep. Perfect for insomnia, racing thoughts, anxiety, or simply unwinding after a long day.

    Like all our episodes, this is intentionally repetitive and boring, giving your mind something peaceful to focus on while your body relaxes into sleep. Most listeners never make it to the end.

    No plot twists. No cliffhangers. Just sheep... one after another... in meticulous, soothing detail.

    Sweet dreams. 😴
