Terrifying Truths About Medieval Sleep

A calm sleep explainer exploring how the medieval world understood rest, fear, and the night. What if sleep was never meant to feel safe? In the medieval world, night was not empty time. It was a threshold — where control loosened, vigilance mattered, and unseen forces were believed to move freely. In this long-form sleep explainer, we explore the strangest medieval paradoxes surrounding sleep: knights who feared rest, beds treated as battlefields, demons said to press upon the chest, guardian angels standing watch, and the belief that every night was a quiet rehearsal for death.
