How a 1950s Housewife Spent a Cozy Fall Evening | History for Sleep

What did an ordinary 1950s housewife do between the last golden light of the afternoon and the moment her house finally fell asleep? Follow Helen Brandt through one October evening in 1955, from damp shirts in the refrigerator and burning leaves on the curb to pin curls, a neighbor's slide show, and a letter to her sister. Pull up a blanket, let the story unfold slowly, and drift off somewhere in the quiet of a warm house on the first frosty night of the year. #historyforsleep #sleephistory #1950s #vintage #bedtimestories #1950samerica
