Ever wondered if waiting in line could be... fascinating? Spoiler: it isn't.

From ancient queues for bread to modern-day airport security lines, this audiobook explores the history, math, and strategies behind one of humanity's most unavoidable activities—waiting. Perfect for anyone looking to fill the time before sleep with something mildly informative but utterly unexciting.

Inside, you'll discover:

  • The surprisingly ancient origins of waiting in line (yes, people queued in Babylon).
  • The math of queueing theory—because even statistics can be sleep-inducing.
  • Tips and techniques for surviving long waits, none of which involve teleportation.
  • How technology has revolutionized (and complicated) the art of waiting.
  • Profound lessons learned from standing in line—assuming you stay awake long enough to hear them.
  • Presented in a calm, steady tone, Boring Bedtime Stories for Sleep: The Tedious Art of Waiting in Line is the perfect remedy for restless nights—or long queues.

    Press play now, and let history's slowest-moving lines lull you to sleep.
