How Medieval People Slept in Winter | Relaxing History for Sleep & Insomnia

Step quietly into a medieval winter night. Feel the cold, smell the woodsmoke, and discover how people in the Middle Ages found deep, restorative sleep without modern comforts. In tonight's episode of Boring History Secrets, we explore the hidden history of medieval sleep habits. From the "first and second sleep" (biphasic sleep) to the surprising warmth of straw beds and communal sleeping, this video is designed to calm your mind and help you drift off. We combine accurate social history with a soothing atmosphere to help you relax. Whether you are a history buff or someone looking for a sleep aid to cure insomnia, let the slow rhythm of the middle ages guide you to rest. ❄️ In this video, we cover: Why medieval houses were designed for winter survival. The truth about "straw beds" and comfort. The forgotten practice of "segmented sleep" (waking up at midnight). How cold temperatures actually improved sleep quality.
