How People Slept Before Pillows: Ancient Bedtime Secrets You’ve Never Heard
https://www.TheForbiddenKnowledgeNetwork.comBefore soft cushions, memory foam, and modern bedding, humans found sleep in ways that seem almost unimaginable today. From carved wooden headrests in ancient Egypt to woven neck cradles in Asia and bundles of leaves, straw, and animal skins used across Europe and early America, the history of sleep reveals a world of creative nighttime rituals. This peaceful, slow-paced episode explores how people rested, dreamed, and found comfort long before pillows existed.
Designed to help you relax, unwind, and drift into an easy, restful sleep as you imagine the quiet nights of our ancestors and the ingenious methods they created to find comfort in a world without modern bedding.
