No Heating? How Pirates Slept on Frozen Medieval Ships | Boring History For Sleep

❄️ Imagine standing on the deck of a 15th-century pirate ship in the North Sea. The ropes are frozen solid, the wind cuts like a knife, and there is absolutely no heating. How did sailors survive the night without freezing to death? In tonight's "Boring History" sleep story, we drift away from the tropical Caribbean fantasies and sail straight into the brutal, freezing reality of the medieval North Atlantic. We will explore the ingenious and desperate ways pirates created warmth in a world of ice—from the physics of swaying hammocks to the strange ritual of wearing "whale oil masks." This video is designed to be low-stimulation. Using calm, monotone storytelling and the hypnotic ambient sounds of a creaking wooden ship, we will deconstruct the layers of wool, canvas, and grease that separated a sleeping man from the freezing ocean. There are no sudden loud noises, no battles, just the slow, rhythmic struggle for warmth. #BoringHistory #SleepStory #MedievalHistory #PirateHistory
