Clocks | Can’t Sleep? Learn About the History of Time

35 min•24 juni 2026

Om avsnittet

Clocks have shaped the way humans understand and organize time for thousands of years. This episode explores the history of timekeeping, from ancient sundials and water clocks to early mechanical devices designed to track the passing hours. Along the way, you’ll hear about inventors, astronomical observations, clockmaking traditions, and the surprisingly long quest to measure the passing of time with greater and greater accuracy.

It’s steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!
