I Slept Like a Victorian for a Week

In this video, I take on a week-long experiment. Since I already wear historical fashion, I thought it'd be fun to try sleeping like a Victorian for a week. Victorians (and many other people throughout earlier history) slept in two parts – known as biphasic sleep. In fact, sleeping monophasically is actually a relatively new construct. The week had its ups and downs, and I document the realistic journey of what it was like.
