Can ordinary objects like toothbrushes and spoons cure your insomnia?

Ever wondered about the thrilling origin of the toothbrush? Or how a humble spoon became humanity's go-to eating tool? No? Perfect—because this book is designed to make you yawn.

If you're tired of staring at the ceiling and need something just interesting enough to hold your attention but not so riveting that it keeps you awake, this audiobook is for you.

Inside, you'll discover:

  • The surprisingly unexciting evolution of dental hygiene tools (spoiler: people got creative before toothpaste).
  • How denim went from rough-and-tumble workwear to global fashion—and managed to stay just as practical.
  • The surprisingly detailed history of buttons, proving that tiny objects can still take up a lot of space in a book.
  • Paperclips: because nothing says drama like bent wire holding papers together.
  • The spoon's long journey from necessity to cultural icon—yes, really.
  • Presented in a steady, sleep-friendly tone, Boring Bedtime Stories for Sleep: The Boring History of Everyday Objects promises to gently guide you to dreamland while sprinkling in just enough knowledge to leave you vaguely impressed.

    Hit play now and let the history of spoons and paperclips finally put you to sleep.
