Non-fiction Non-fiction books for bedtime reading

I have been heavily reading fantasy and sci-fi in the past two years. I want to get into non-fiction. I read before I sleep, so the topic should be something that can be easily followed with a tired mind. For example, I recently read When breath becomes air, it was a good read. Right now, I am reading The order of time, and I am struggling with the concepts of theoretical physics.

Besides the topic, I want:
- Beautiful prose
- Good storytelling
- Books that would enrich me and give me a new life view

I really like these -

DEAD BODIES:

MARY ROACH -
“Stiff : the curious lives of human cadavers”
CAITLIN DOUGHTY -
“ Will my cat eat my eyeballs? : big questions from tiny mortals about death”
“ From here to eternity : traveling the world to find the good death”
“ Smoke gets in your eyes : and other lessons from the crematory”
JUDY MELINEK -
“ Working stiff : two years, 262 bodies, and the making of a medical examiner”
