❄️ A Very Slow History of How Humans Survived Winter Before Modern Heating
Let the frantic pace of the modern world dissolve into the long, quiet shadows of human history. In tonight’s extended episode of Boring History For Sleep, we take a panoramic yet incredibly methodical look at the evolution of human warmth.

Before the thermostat and the electric heater, survival was a rhythmic, daily commitment. Tonight, we move slowly through the ages—from the Paleolithic caves of the Pyrenees to the sophisticated hypocausts of Rome, through the smoky Great Halls of the Middle Ages, and into the coal-fired hearths of the industrial era.

This is not a history of great inventions, but of incremental comforts. We will describe the specific heat-retention properties of various stone types, the chemistry of a slow-burning peat fire, and the precise weave of a wool blanket. There are no sudden shocks, no loud transitions, and no dramatic music. This is a steady, monotone journey designed to lead you into a deep and restorative sleep.

Perfect for: Chronic insomnia, high-stress recovery, white noise replacement, or history lovers who find peace in the long, slow arc of human endurance.
