How Kings ACTUALLY Slept in Freezing Medieval Castles | Boring History for Sleep

Congratulations, you are the King. You have wealth, power, and a massive stone castle. But it is January, and your castle is trying to freeze you to death. Hollywood movies show us cozy fires and warm feasts, but the reality of a medieval winter was a battle against hypothermia—even for royalty. Tonight, we explore how kings and queens survived the brutal cold without modern heating. From the "room within a room" design of canopy beds to the surprising reason why everyone wore ridiculous-looking nightcaps, we uncover the frozen truth of the Middle Ages. So, dim the lights, turn on a fan for that soft background hum, and pull your blankets tight. Let’s step into the drafty corridors of history. In this video: • The Stone Icebox: Why thick castle walls made rooms colder, not warmer. • Bedtime Architecture: Why royal beds had heavy curtains (it wasn't just for privacy, it was insulation). • Heated Stones: The medieval version of a hot water bottle—wrapping heated bricks or stones in cloth to warm the sheets. • Nightcaps & Furs: Why keeping your head covered while sleeping was a matter of survival, not fashion. • Segmented Sleep: Why kings woke up in the middle of the night for the "watch" period. #MedievalHistory #Castles #HistoryForSleep #SleeplessHistorian #DarkHistory #Winter #MiddleAges
