About this episode

<p><strong>🥶❄️ In January 1709, Europe woke up and the world had turned to ice.</strong> Rivers froze solid, trees split open from the cold, and even the sea turned stiff along the coast. Wine froze in barrels, birds fell from the sky mid-flight, and entire villages huddled in silence, waiting for the thaw that seemed never to come.</p><p>For months, the Great Frost gripped Europe in its frozen claws, killing crops, livestock, and hope. From Paris to Poland, the continent shivered its way into history’s coldest recorded winter.</p><p>So wrap yourself in a blanket, listen to the creak of frozen timbers, and drift off to a world where time slowed, firewood ran out, and the only thing left to do—was sleep.</p><p>👉 <em>Boring History For Sleep</em> | Frost, famine, and the quiet beauty of disaster. 💤</p><p></p>
