How Medieval Peasants Slept Through Freezing Winter Nights Without Heating

Been thinking about this all week and can't shake it.

A medieval peasant in January didn't get to "push through." No thermostat. No coffee. Just a smoky one-room hut, animals sleeping three feet from your head for the heat, and rye bread going harder by the day.

They rationed firewood like we ration phone battery. Kids died. Old people died. The ones who made it woke up before sunrise to break ice off the water bucket and started again.

And here I am complaining my apartment took 20 minutes to warm up.

Video dropping soon on how they actually survived it — the tricks, the food, the quiet horror of Feb when the stores ran low.

What would break you first — the cold, the dark, or the hunger?
