History for Sleep | Life as a Trench Soldier : Trench Rats, Shellshock, and more

Описание: Welcome to NapTime History, where we explore the most difficult moments in the past with narration designed to help you fall asleep. In this episode, you’ll experience what it was like to be a trench soldier during World War I—told in a slow, calming tone to ease you into rest. From the moment you wake up in the cold, wet trench to the final flicker of light in your dugout, this immersive journey follows a full day in the life of a young American soldier on the Western Front.

You’ll hear about the constant presence of trench rats, the overwhelming stench of decay, the weight of exhaustion, and the psychological strain known then as shellshock. We’ll guide you through the grim details of everyday trench life—lice infestations, muddy walls, endless artillery, and the eerie quiet between bombardments. Despite the horror, there are moments of stillness and strange comfort in this brutal world.

Lay back, close your eyes, and let history lull you to sleep.
