Get early episodes & bonus perks on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DrowsyHistorianYou wake up in a room you don’t remember entering. There’s a clipboard on the desk with your name misspelled, a camera blinking in the corner, and a bitter taste on your tongue that you didn’t choose.This is the story of what it might have felt like to live — and unravel — as a test subject in Project MK-Ultra: the CIA’s real, declassified program of mind control experiments during the Cold War. In this immersive, second-person sleep video, you’ll follow a fictionalized composite subject through sedatives, sensory deprivation, identity erasure, and chemical obedience.Calmly narrated and historically grounded, this slow, unnerving story will walk you through the architecture of control — from the fluorescent clinical corridors of American hospitals to the sterilized “treatment rooms” of Canadian institutions.#SleepHistory #MKUltra #MindControl #CIA #DarkHistory #DrowsyHistorian #HistoricalHorror #ColdWar #ASMRHistory #ImmersiveStorytelling #SleepVideo

The HORRIFYING Truth About the Marian Persecutions | History For Sleep
Get early episodes & bonus perks on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DrowsyHistorianThis is not the story of a martyr. It's not the tale that ends in triumph or memorial. It’s the forgotten life behind the fire — the nameless prisoner in the cell beside the famous one. In the time of Queen Mary’s Marian Persecutions, hundreds were silenced, erased, or made into examples. You’re one of them.Told from the second-person perspective, this immersive historical sleep video places you in the shoes of an ordinary Protestant dissenter caught in the machinery of Tudor England’s brutal religious purges. Through interrogation, isolation, and quiet despair, you bear witness not just to executions, but to the slow unraveling of self — and the knowledge that history won't remember you.This story is not about victory. It’s about being forgotten — and what still lingers in the silence that follows.#marianpersecutions #historyforsleep #darkhistory #tudorhistory #queenmary #catholicreformation #historicalsleepstory #forgottenhistory #calmhistory #secondpersonstorytelling
