Either I didn't look closely enough or I didn't get it how this would work in the winter.
In January, like now, in Germany sunset should be at ~8 am and dusk should be before 5 pm. That's only 9 hours. I'm probably not working hard enough (physically) but how would I ever sleep that much?
In June there's daylight from 5 am to 9 pm, that's still 10 hours of darkness, I see how it would work there.
- derefr 11y agoThe question isn't "how would I ever sleep that much"; it's "what am I going to do with my time if it's too dark to see?" That most people in the Medieval era couldn't do anything productive for more than 9 hours a day in winter is a given. The question is just when and how they slept within that 14-hour block of unproductive hours.
