The Most Effectively Boring Book I've Ever Loved

The prose is actually quite good - it's just deliberately devoid of conflict, tension, or anything that might stimulate your brain. The author has mastered the art of creating content that's just interesting enough to distract your mind from daily stresses without engaging it enough to keep you awake.My favorite "story" (if you can call it that) involves a robot methodically organizing storage units on a space station. There are detailed descriptions of inventory management protocols and the most uneventful AI-human interactions imaginable. It sounds terrible,and that's exactly why it's perfect.Highly recommended for insomniacs, overthinkers, and anyone who wants to fall asleep with visions of mundane alien landscapes dancing in their heads.

The Perfect Sleep Aid for Sci-Fi Lovers

As someone who has always struggled with turning off my brain at night, I was skeptical that any book could actually help me fall asleep. Then I discovered "Sleepytime Sci-Fi," and my nighttime routine has been forever changed.This ingenious collection delivers exactly what it promises - science fiction that's intentionally boring enough to lull you to sleep. The stories about moss-covered planets and mundane space station operations hit a perfect sweet spot: just interesting enough to distract your racing mind, but lacking any plot twists or excitement that might keep you awake.

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
