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

Tonight we return to the Bermuda Triangle: Myths, Theories, and Countless Disappearances — Part II. This bedtime journey carries us through one of the most enduring legends in maritime and aviation history, told in a way designed to help you unwind with history and drift into sleep. From the immense bulk of the USS Cyclops, America’s greatest non-combat naval loss, to the mystery of Flight 19 and the vanished airliners Star Tiger and Star Ariel, each disappearance adds to the legend. Merchant ships and tankers like the Marine Sulphur Queen slipped away as well, deepening a mystery that became a staple of audiobooks, history for serenity and harmony, and tranquil history storytelling.

As the twentieth century unfolded, the media helped shape this myth, branding the Bermuda Triangle into popular imagination. Tonight we’ll follow how rogue waves, sudden storms, and methane gases might explain the tragedies, while also wandering into the stranger ideas of Atlantis, alien abductions, and rifts in time. In this soothing history audiobook, you’ll hear how skeptics challenged the myths, and how, despite all explanations, the Triangle still lingers as a symbol of the unknown. It’s a story of history legends and history to soothe the mind, one that continues to fascinate sailors, pilots, and dreamers alike.

This calm narrative is crafted for those who love audio books, who wish to get sleepy with the greatest minds in history and explore history for sleep. Tonight, the ocean’s mysteries are told gently, with space to breathe, perfect for those who seek serenity, imagination, and rest.

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