Synopsis
This book examines the history of the practice of sleeping naked. It was commonplace until the 19th century, but the author traces how and why it went out of fashion. Drawing on a wealth of sources, the book explores the social, cultural, and even medical arguments for and against sleeping in the nude. It highlights how this practice intersected with topics such as modesty, public health, and religious beliefs. Ultimately, the book shows that the decline of the naked bed was more than just a change in sleeping habits - it was a reflection of broader societal shifts in the Victorian era.
