Hello, welcome to the Bore You to Sleep podcast, the podcast that will hopefully help you get to sleep.

I am going to read an open source book, one that is not particularly interesting, but one that is hopefully boring

enough to get you to sleep.

Tonight's readings comes from The Modern Clock.

A study of timekeeping mechanism.

It's construction, regulation and repair.

Written by Ward Al Goodrick, this book is an instruction manual for any good apprentice

that wants to become a clockmaker or repairer. Written in 1905, I must admit they don't make clocks and watches like they used to.

My name is Teddy and I aim to help people everywhere get a good night's rest.

Sleep is so important and my mission is to help people everywhere get a good night's rest.

Sleep is so important and my mission is to help you get the rest you need.

Each episode is designed to play in the background while you slowly fall asleep.

kindness this past week. iTunes listener, B.R.A-U-S-R
