Welcome to Sleepytime History — true stories from the pages of history for a full night's rest.

Tonight we journey into The Bermuda Triangle: Myths, Theories, and Countless Disappearances – Part 1. This enigmatic expanse of the Atlantic, stretching between Miami, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda, has for centuries captured the imagination of sailors, pilots, and storytellers alike. Fact, maritime lore, and the unexplained have been woven together like ocean currents, leaving us with tales that continue to intrigue even to this day.

In this soothing retelling, you’ll drift through centuries of legends and true accounts: Columbus recording strange lights over the waves, European sailors calling Bermuda the Isle of Devils as reefs and storms claimed countless vessels, and the eerie calm of the Sargasso Sea, once feared as a floating desert. You’ll hear of ghost ships with meals still on their tables, superstitions born on shifting waters, and shipwreck alleys where hundreds of hulls rest beneath the tide. These stories have endured not through fiction, but through lived experience — the very history that shaped the Triangle’s enduring reputation.

This is a tale for those who love audiobooks, history for serenity and harmony, audio books to unwind with history, history legends, and stories designed to help you get sleepy. It is tranquil history, history for serenity, and history to soothe the mind. It carries you alongside the greatest minds in history, but always with an eye toward gentle rest. Here, true events become stories for sleep, woven into audiobooks and bedtime histories that allow the imagination to sail without fear.

Let this quiet story of endurance and devotion guide you into a restful night’s sleep.
