• Why You’d REGRET Being Henry VIII’s Physician | History For Sleep

  Get early episodes & bonus perks on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DrowsyHistorianYou were the king’s physician — and nothing more than a shadow with steady hands. In the dark corridors of Henry VIII’s court, survival had nothing to do with medicine, and everything to do with keeping your head down while the leg rotted. The wound festered. The politics shifted. The crown watched.This is the story of what it meant to tend to a dying king and a dying empire — one quiet dressing at a time. You didn’t cure him. You didn’t survive him. And you were never meant to.#HenryVIII #TudorHistory #HistoricalStorytelling #DrowsyHistorian #HistoryForSleep #DarkHistory #MedicalHistory #TudorCourt #ASMRHistory #ImmersiveHistory #RoyalPhysician #CalmNarration #HistoryPodcast

• The TERRIFYING Fate of a Roman Peasant During the Fall of Rome | History For Sleep

  Get early episodes & bonus perks on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DrowsyHistorianIn the dying days of the Roman Empire, glory was just a rumor—and survival was the only triumph. This is not the story of emperors or generals, but of a forgotten peasant watching his world crumble, piece by piece. War, famine, fire, silence. He doesn’t witness the fall of Rome with grandeur. He endures it with dirt under his nails and smoke in his lungs. If you're still listening by the end, thank you—for bearing witness to the kind of endurance history rarely honors.#FallOfRome #RomanEmpire #HistoryForSleep #DarkHistory #BoringHistory #DrowsyHistorian #HistoricalSleepStory #AncientHistory #CollapseOfCivilizations #PeasantLife
