How People Actually Spent Their Nights in 1950s America | History for Sleep

This history for sleep video follows one night in 1950s America, from a Chicago supper table in the last light of an October evening in 1955 to the first milk truck of the morning. Along the way it visits a Wisconsin dairy farm, Detroit's night shift, a Pullman sleeping car, a Brooklyn bakery, a Manhattan fish market, and a hospital maternity ward at two in the morning, showing how ordinary Americans worked, rested, and stayed up in the decade of party lines, television consoles, and drive-in theaters. The narration is slow and calm, made for falling asleep. #sleephistory #historyforsleep #1950s #bedtimestories #1950samerica #vintage
