The Republic by Plato

Philosophy seems the ideal thing to listen to to help you sleep. I recorded this in the middle of the day and completely zoned out and nearly dozed off so I can barely tell you what the conversation between Socrates and his friends was about.

So I’m confident that the discussion of whether God can create evil, whether children should learn from false fables and ummmm, other stuff will help sleep come for you as quickly as you’d hope.

The ethics of rhetoric by Richard M. Weaver

Ever wondered about the differences between rhetoric and dialectic? Or the moral obligations of the rhetorician? Probably not, and I’m not sure if you will learn anything here because this is truly the most boring thing to read to you at bed time.

I make very few guarantees, but this *will* help you sleep.

A Series of Letters to Help You Sleep

Elizabeth Montagu was a power player in politics and women’s suffrage later in life, and her earlier letters are a fascinating insight into the precocious mind and attitudes of a woman of her day.

But if like me the appeal of gossip is limited, I’m sure this will help you fall asleep.
