Does what it purports

The stories are quite sleep inducing. I read through them to see what they were about when not using them to aid sleep and I was getting annoyed at the lack of plot development, but that, again, is the point. They are very descriptive about things that scenic and relaxing. They do put you in a particular place and move along at a pace that will slow down your mind.

In leu of time-release-melatonin or sleeping pills, this should be used first.

I believe this is a good book for falling asleep to. It was designed to do so, and I believe it will be a great help to those who want natural sleep without pills.

A Note from Gene Eric Nomen

Hi there,

I’ve always struggled with falling asleep. My mind would race, replaying the day’s events or planning for tomorrow. I tried reading non-fiction before bed, thinking it would be dull enough to put me to sleep. But instead, I found myself getting too engaged, learning new facts that kept my brain buzzing. Then, I switched to regular fiction, only to get caught up in exciting plots and cliffhangers that made me stay up even later.

That’s when I realized what I really needed—a book that was just interesting enough to hold my attention, but soothing and uneventful enough to let my mind relax. A book that was deliberately dull and beautifully boring.

That’s how Really Boring Books was born. These stories are designed to be wonderfully predictable, calming, and yes—delightfully dull. My hope is that they help you quiet your mind, relax, and drift off into a peaceful slumber, just as they’ve done for me.

Sweet dreams,
Gene Eric Nomen
