  • Insomnia treatment: ASTM C94 Specification for Ready-Mixed Concrete
    Apr 5 2026

    Fall asleep to a deep, soothing voice reading the most inconsequential material imaginable. This is the ultimate sleep aid for racing minds, utilizing boring technical readings to help you achieve natural sleep and quiet insomnia.

    This episode provides a high-fidelity, clinical reading of the mechanical and chemical requirements for the manufacture and delivery of ready-mixed concrete. The text contains no narrative tension, focusing on the rigid tolerances of hydraulic cement, aggregate displacement, and the precisely timed revolutions of the mixing drum.

    Deeply Unimportant is a sleep podcast designed for those who need structure to drift off. By focusing on meticulous, non-narrative detail, we provide a form of cognitive shuffle for ADHD and anxiety—anchoring the mind with the professional broadcast gravitas of a former newscaster so you can stop racing thoughts at night. No whispers or fairy tales; just ordered, structured, monotone voice sleep support.

    This version of the show is ad-supported: ads play at the beginning of the episode, but nowhere else as you drift off. Access a full archive of ad-free sleep episodes (including long versions that run all night, and infinite loops) for a few dollars a month.

  • Sleep Story: The Engineering Specifications of Corrugated Fiberboard (Deep Voice)
    Mar 30 2026

    Fall asleep to a deep, soothing voice reading the most inconsequential material imaginable. This is the ultimate sleep aid for racing thoughts: boring technical readings to help you achieve natural sleep and quiet insomnia.

    Displace the friction of the day with an overview of the TAPPI (Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry) standards for corrugated fiberboard. This episode bypasses the modern preoccupation with online commerce and the "unboxing" experience to focus on the structural integrity of the shipping container itself. We explore the mechanical geometry of Flute Profiles A through F, the precise moisture-to-liner ratios required for Mullen Burst resistance, and the exhaustive adhesive bonding requirements of double-wall construction. This is a technical descent into the microscopic architecture of the liner and the medium—a world where the only variable is the number of flutes per linear foot and the vertical stacking strength of a square inch.

  • Sleep Aid: The USDA Textural Classification of Soil
    Mar 22 2026

    Fall asleep to a deep, soothing voice reading the most inconsequential material imaginable. This is the ultimate sleep aid for racing minds, utilizing boring technical readings to help you achieve natural sleep and quiet insomnia.

    Surrender to the granular certainties of the USDA NRCS Soil Survey Manual. This episode bypasses the emotional complexity of the surface world to focus on the 2.0-millimeter threshold that separates "soil" from "geological debris." We explore the mechanical rigidity of the Fine Earth Fraction, the precise moisture-to-clay ratios required for the "Ribbon Test," and the exhaustive 12-point classification of the USDA Textural Triangle. This is a technical descent into the grittiness of sand, the silkiness of silt, and the heavy, plastic cohesion of clay—a world where the only thing that matters is the diameter of a particle and the pressure of a thumb.
