Sleeping on Straw: The Grimly Funny Life of a Medieval Peasant | Boring History For Sleep

Описание: Hey guys, tonight we’re stepping barefoot onto the frozen dirt floor of a medieval peasant’s hut. Imagine waking up next to a snoring cow, a smug chicken, and a chunk of bread so hard it could double as a weapon. Your breakfast? Barley brick dipped in sour buttermilk, with a side of flea bites and disappointment.

In this slow, strangely comforting journey, we’ll wander through the daily grind of 14th-century England – from chewing straw to hallucinating dinner, foraging mushrooms that might kill you, and realizing your pig is your retirement plan and your friend.

So dim the lights, wrap yourself in blankets (luxuries they never had), and drift off to the eerie smiles, cracked backs, and fungal surprises of peasant life. Because if medieval peasants could sleep after days like these… so can you.
