The Weird Way People Slept in the Middle Ages...

People didn’t always sleep through the whole night. In the Middle Ages, people often slept in two separate phases. Their “first sleep” would last around four hours, after which they’d wake up in the middle of the night. They would pray, talk, or do small chores around the house. Then they would go back to sleep for another four hours or so. #medieval #medievalhistory #history #historyfacts #historical
